Summer Sorrell Breaks Silence After WWE Release

WWE has made several developmental roster cuts in recent days, and Summer Sorrell is among those no longer with the company. While her run with WWE was short and largely under the radar, she’s now sharing her side of the story—and it’s clear she has unfinished business in the ring.

On October 13, Sorrell took to Instagram with an emotional post about her WWE journey, injuries, and passion for wrestling. She addressed fans directly with a raw message that shed light on why she couldn’t show her full potential.

“It is hard to find the right words to express what wrestling means to me. I have developed a passion and love for this business that is unlike anything I have felt before.”

She made it clear her experience in WWE meant everything to her, even the hard parts.

“I have loved every second. From long, stressful days filming, to challenging days in the ring, to many hours of rehab. Not a moment went by where I didn’t feel like the luckiest girl in the world.”

Sorrell then revealed that she was dealing with a recurring injury throughout her time at the WWE Performance Center—an issue that prevented her from reaching her full in-ring potential.

“The reality is that I struggled with the same ongoing injury during a majority of my time at the performance center. This held me back from ever being able to show my true potential in the ring.”

She admitted that her limited exposure in WWE only gave a glimpse of what she could truly offer.

“Knowing that I only got the opportunity to show you a small fraction of what I am capable of is what is hurting me the most.”

But she ended with a message of resilience and a promise that her journey is far from over.

“But if that was only a fraction, imagine what happens when I’m finally at a hundred percent… the story doesn’t end here — it finally gets interesting.”

Sorrell wrestled just seven matches under the WWE banner in 2025. She appeared on NXT live events and WWE’s LFG series, scoring a single win against Tatyanna Dumas. Her final appearance came on September 7, 2025, where she lost to Bayley Humphrey on Last Chance to Impress.

WWE opted not to renew her contract, but Sorrell’s words make it clear—she’s not done. She’s just getting started.
