Amari Miller, who became a part of WWE in 2021, departed from the company earlier this month. Throughout her tenure with WWE, she showcased her skills on 205 Live and NXT Level Up.
In February 2023, she endured a torn ACL. However, she returned to the ring in December after a successful surgery and recovery. Her latest match occurred on a January 9th episode of WWE NXT Level Up, where she graciously elevated Jaida Parker.
Speaking to Steve Fall of WrestlingNews.co, Miller talked about the departure. She said,
“It was mostly creative. They didn’t have anything for me creatively, and my contract was ending anyway, so I felt it was best for both worlds. It mostly came from their side. Not like an ‘oh, please, I’m begging.’ It was more, ‘Thank you for the opportunity, I appreciate it.’ There is nothing I felt I could have done. I worked my butt off. I was there every day. There is no bad blood on either side. It’s perfectly understandable from a business perspective of where they were coming from. I did have injuries through my path in WWE. I get why it’s, ‘Ah, she might be a liability,’ to end it all, it was nothing creatively for me, so it was time to go our separate ways. Doesn’t mean I’m not going to go back. The door is not shut. Coach was saying he always puts his name behind me if needed. It’s a very good tight relationship between me and WWE right now,” she said.
