Elayna Black is speaking her truth—but she’s not here for the spin.
After making headlines for her emotional interview with Chris Van Vliet about her WWE release, the former NXT star took to Twitter just hours later to fire back at how people were reacting.
The interview covered everything from her gut feeling before getting cut to a creative meeting that led nowhere and a supportive text exchange with Mandy Rose. But instead of focusing on the full story, fans and media zeroed in on soundbites—and Black wasn’t having it.
“Most of y’all do not actually listen to interviews and strictly go based off headlines and other tweets, and it truly shows.”
She didn’t name names, but the message was loud and clear: if you’re not listening to the full conversation, you’re missing the point. After opening up about how she was strung along and left on read by WWE before being released, Black made it clear that she’s not bitter—she’s honest. But she’s not interested in being misrepresented.
Her story is far from over, but she’s already making it known—if you want to talk about Elayna Black, you better come correct.
