Blair Davenport Breaks Silence After WWE Release

Blair Davenport is speaking out after being released by WWE—and she’s keeping it all the way real.

Davenport, who made her mark in NXT UK and won the Women’s Iron Survivor Challenge in 2023, was part of WWE’s talent cuts earlier this year. After moving to the main roster in 2024 and debuting on SmackDown in June, her run ended just months later with limited TV time. She appeared in the Women’s United States Title tournament but was eliminated in the first round. Her final match aired in November 2024.

Now she’s opening up about her exit. “Because I was part of a big release. I think it was just budget cuts to make up their contracts,” Davenport explained during a livestream. “I don’t have any negative feelings or anything like that. It’s just the job and the business. That’s the way it goes, really.”

Rather than dwell on it, she’s focused on the road ahead. “I’m excited for what’s coming in the future, I’m excited to kind of get back to my roots a little bit, and do my own thing again. I did love doing stuff in Japan and the UK. I’m excited to do the Indies in America because I’ve never actually done the indies here at all.”

She made it clear she’s not looking for sympathy: “Don’t be upset for me, it’s fine. It’s the job, it’s the way it goes. I’m happy for all my friends who are still there.”

Blair’s taking her next step on her own terms—and she’s not looking back.
