WWE’s Royal Rumble PLE could have been the story of the weekend, but it surely was trailed closely by all the things revolving around Ava. The previous “WWE NXT” general manager announced on Friday that she was leaving WWE, and on Sunday provided more fireworks, tweeting negative remarks towards ICE and the Trump Administration before shutting down her X account.
On Sunday’s “Wrestling Observer Radio,” Dave Meltzer stayed away from Ava’s political thoughts, but went in-depth on Ava’s decision to go away. He revealed that the final consensus inside WWE was that “she didn’t wish to do it anymore,” and that she would likely move onto something involving the studio owned by her father and mother, Dany Garcia. Nevertheless, Meltzer also discussed one other potential factor that might’ve contributed to Ava’s decision, one which had been kept quiet over the previous couple of weeks
“Now I did hear, one person had contacted me and mentioned that Tatyane Dumas, who’s her girlfriend, was cut, which we didn’t hear, just a few weeks ago. They weren’t quite saying ‘That is why she quit,’ but it surely was sort of something that folks put one and one together that perhaps that had something to do with it. Perhaps it didn’t, I do not know…It was just a call that she made.
“And folks didn’t know. It didn’t…there was no word out that she was going to do it. I didn’t ask and I probably should and can, that if people knew. But it surely was just…yeah. You understand, it was her decision. It wasn’t like they were going to do away with her or anything like that. But she just didn’t wish to do it anymore. She doesn’t should do it. So there you go.”
