Why Gisele Shaw Parted Ways with TNA Wrestling

Gisele Shaw was an important part of TNA Wrestling for several years and helped elevate the division. However, she left the company last year, which surprised many fans, and now she has finally revealed the reason behind her departure.

While speaking to Ring the Belle, Gisele Shaw was asked about her departure from TNA Wrestling last year. She said it was a surprise, even for her, because she kept it private and didn’t want it to be a big deal.

One morning, while having tea, Shaw suddenly got a lot of messages from people asking if she was okay. She was confused and didn’t know what was going on. She explained that she didn’t plan for her exit to be a big thing.

“It was shocking to me too because I was very quiet with it, and I didn’t want it to be a thing. Oh, um, it got out there. Like, I was literally just having tea in the morning, and then next thing you know, my phone’s dinging. I’m like, ‘What’s happening?’ You know? And people are reaching out to me, like, ‘Hope you’re okay,’ and I’m like, ‘What’s happening?’ I didn’t want it to be a big thing, but you know, it is what it is.”

Gisele Shaw stated that in wrestling, things change all the time. She felt like TNA didn’t know what to do with her creatively, and after being there for three years, she tried her best to stay. In the end, she accepted that wrestling is always changing, and leaving TNA was just part of the journey. Even though it wasn’t what she planned, she moved on.

“Like I said, things in wrestling change. I feel like we just weren’t really aligning, or maybe they didn’t really have—creative-wise, it felt like it went back to, ‘They don’t know what to do with me.’ And I was like, ‘Man, I’ve been here for three years, and I really, really, really tried to stick it out.’

Like I said, things in wrestling change all the time, and sometimes, you know, that was my route. And it is what it is.”

Gisele Shaw has already given her emotional farewell to TNA following her exit and since then she has kept herself busy in the indies, notably having a solid match at Maple Leaf Pro Wrestling last year. With her talent and experience, it will be exciting to see where Gisele Shaw goes next. Whether she joins another major promotion or finds success on the independent scene, her journey is far from over.
