Gigi Dolin Shuts Down Claims She Was Released for Not Training Hard Enough

WWE recently let go of several wrestlers, including Gigi Dolin and this surprised many fans. Since then, reports claimed the NXT cuts happened because the talent weren’t training hard enough and now Gigi Dolin has denied those claims.

According to Dave Meltzer on Wrestling Observer Radio, many of the NXT wrestlers who were released were seen by WWE as not working hard during their training. He said that WWE sometimes labels these wrestlers as “lazy” and has no problem releasing talent they feel aren’t putting in enough effort. With so many hardworking wrestlers around, those who don’t stand out or aren’t seen as dedicated are more likely to be let go.

“Many of those cut were perceived as not working hard in training. And if you don’t work hard in training, there’s so many people who do. And at this point, if the feeling is you’re not working hard in training – I saw the term ‘lazy’ – the ones who are lazy are gonna be gone, and the ones who didn’t stand out are gonna be gone.“

Gigi Dolin took to Twitter and commented on the report, stating that when she wasn’t traveling for work, she trained hard 3–4 times a week, taking bumps and doing cardio drills with a tough coach.

Dolin also worked out daily and wrestled at live events regularly. She said her body feels the impact of all that hard work, and she doesn’t want to hear claims that she didn’t train enough.

“When I wasn’t traveling to work for either of the two companies I was working for, I trained very hard 3-4 days a week, bumping my ass off and doing cardio drills with one of the best/toughest coaches I’ve worked with. And worked out every single day. With live events every other weekend. So yeah I don’t wanna hear this lol. The way my body feels says otherwise.”

Gigi Dolin was one of many WWE superstars who were released recently, as the latest slew of cuts included stars such as Braun Strowman, Shayna Baszler, Cora Jade, Eddy Thorpe, Katana Chance, Kayden Carter and more.

Gigi Dolin just had to make sure that fans knew she put in the effort every single day, despite what reports claim. Nevertheless, we’ll have to wait and see what’s next in store for Dolin as fans are looking forward to seeing her future in wrestling.
