Just hours after Ava publicly took aim at ICE and the Donald Trump administration, her X/Twitter account went dark.
The former WWE NXT General Manager broke her silence on February 1, 2026, reacting to the fatal shooting of 37-year-old ICU nurse Alex Pretti by federal agents in Minneapolis. Posting shortly after the incident made national headlines, Ava made her stance unmistakably clear:
“and now that i can say this with my full chest, 🖕🏽 ice and that entire administration.”
The post immediately drew attention given its timing and Ava’s recent WWE departure. Within hours of the message circulating, her X account was disabled.
The tweet came amid escalating tensions surrounding the shooting. Early reports claim video footage shows one federal officer removing a gun from Pretti before another agent—identified as Border Patrol—fired the fatal shot. Federal authorities have maintained the shooting was an act of self-defense, a claim Minnesota Governor Tim Walz has publicly disputed, fueling protests and calls for accountability across the state.
Ava’s statement was her first major public comment since confirming her exit from WWE on January 30. Simone Johnson wrapped up her on-screen role after the January 27 episode of NXT, with WWE later moving her profile to the alumni section of its website.
Do you think Ava’s account being disabled was a coincidence, or was it a direct response to her post? Should public figures face consequences for speaking out after leaving WWE, or is this simply part of the online backlash cycle? Share your thoughts and join the conversation below.
