Not all professional wrestlers get a chance to grow old in the sport, and it’s always sad to see a promising career cut short. The latest case of this seems to be AQA, who despite having just signed with All Elite Wrestling – is stepping away from the industry. Formerly known as Zayda Ramier in WWE NXT, would release a statement to social media – thanking her fans, and reflecting on what’s truly best for her.
AQA Needs To Do What’s Best For Her Health
The full statement from AQA would state the following.
“I want to take this time to say thank you to anyone who has ever cheered for me, supported me, bought merch, had me on your podcast or write an article about me. Those who sent loving messages, made fan art, gave me a hug during a meet & greet, or a high-five on my way to and from the ring. Promoters who booked me, opponents that stood across from me, and my trainers for teaching me everything I know I wouldn’t have made it this far without all of you.
At this time, I have decided to step away from professional wrestling for the immediate future. For the past few years, both mentally and physically, I have not been in a great place with wrestling, and silly me, I kept pushing through because I didn’t want to be seen as weak, but it only sucked the fun out of every opportunity I had. I hope during this time I’ll be able to reflect deeply and see what path is best for me.
Thank you AEW for granting me this time. Until I see you all again, much love.”
Previously Challenged For The TBS Championship
AQA only signed with AEW back in February, and her highlight came in her debut, when what challenged Jade Cargill for the TBS Championship. Her latest match came against Athena at a Warrior Wrestling show, on June 18th. Nowhere in her statement is this a full retirement, but just someone stepping away to figure out if this is the correct life for her.
