Angelina Love’s dream of making it big in WWE came crashing down fast—and at just 25 years old, she was left completely blindsided by the company’s decision to cut her loose. What followed was a personal low point that had her questioning everything.

Speaking on LiMPiN AiNT EASY w/ Timmy Baltimore, Love revealed how she was transferred from Deep South Wrestling to OVW, only to be released two days later without warning.

“Well, I just I felt like, you know, I was only 25 when I got released from WWE. So, I’m like that, well, there’s no way like I’m so young and I’m good. There’s no way that like this is it. Like this. I just that was not like in my realm of of belief whatsoever.”

Things spiraled quickly after that. Love recalled arriving in Louisville unsure of what she was supposed to be doing, as other talents were already booked on shows while she was left in the dark.

“That was like the second time in my life I had ever had like a complete panic attack was like right when I got to Louisville… some of the guys had got there before me. I was the last one to get there and they were already doing the Six Flags shows and I was like am I supposed to do these shows? Like I don’t know. I haven’t heard anything and I’m not there but everyone else is there and I don’t know what to do and I don’t know. No one’s telling me what to do.”

Her parents drove 11 hours from Canada to help her settle in, only to have to turn right back around after she was cut.

“I was living in my sister’s house in the guest room, 25 years old. And, you know, I had only in my head ever pictured being a WWE, but that was it. It was like that was it. And that was it, right? So, when I lost that, you know, I most certainly balled myself to sleep probably for a month straight.”

Despite the heartbreak, she bounced back within months—signing with TNA and becoming one of the original Knockouts who launched a division that redefined women’s wrestling. But the trauma of her WWE exit still sits with her as a moment that nearly broke her spirit.
