WWE LFG Talent Opened Up About Her Release
Speaking with WrestleZone‘s Ella Jay, WWE LFG Season 2 contestant Summer Sorrell opened up about her release from the company. She attributed her WWE exit to a back injury she sustained during her track and field days.
“I have been so not injury prone my entire athletic career. I never had a major injury in gymnastics. Track and field, the only thing I ever struggled with was my back, and I knew that was going to be a challenge coming into wrestling. That was a big reason where I thought I could never do it as well…. My first six months at the PC, I never had a problem with it, but then after that it was just in and out of the ring, in and out.”
Speaking further, Sorrell said that she understands why WWE released her.
“I know why I was released and I understand why I was released. I understand that this is a business, and I agree with that, to be honest with you. Do wish I was able to stay longer, of course, because I have so much left to offer. Have no doubt in my mind that every other aspect of this I’m going to be able to perfect and be amazing at. I really believe that.”
