A WWE developmental talent appears to have quietly confirmed her departure from the company after making a notable change to her social media profile.
While WWE has not officially announced anything, recent updates have fueled speculation that another post-WrestleMania roster exit has taken place.
Aria Bennett, whose real name is Ajiea Lea Hargrave, has updated her Instagram account and now describes herself as a “former WWE” talent. The change comes after months of inactivity and follows WWE’s annual wave of roster departures earlier this year.
The apparent confirmation has drawn attention because Bennett’s departure had never previously been reported or publicly acknowledged.

Bennett also removed her WWE-specific profile and changed her social media presence to reflect her real name rather than her WWE ring name. The updates strongly suggest that her time with the company has come to an end.
A former NCAA All-American gymnast, Bennett signed with WWE in 2024 and began training at the WWE Performance Center. She made her in-ring debut in June 2024 and primarily competed at NXT live events while also appearing on several early episodes of WWE EVOLVE.
During her developmental run, Bennett amassed 11 recorded matches. Four of those appearances came on EVOLVE programming, including a tag team victory alongside Layla Diggs. She also competed against talents such as Wendy Choo and Zara Zakher and participated in an EVOLVE Women’s Championship play-in match.
Her last match took place in April 2025 at an NXT live event, where she teamed with Chantel Monroe against Carlee Bright and Kendal Grey. Shortly afterwards, Bennett suffered a major setback when she underwent surgery for a torn ACL in July 2025, keeping her sidelined for the remainder of her WWE tenure.
While Bennett has not released a formal statement regarding her status, the changes on social media appear to provide the clearest indication yet that her WWE chapter has come to an end. For now, fans will be watching to see what comes next for the former gymnast as she begins a new phase of her wrestling career.
