Backstage news regarding Ava’s decision to part ways with WWE

In a post via Instagram, NXT General Manager Ava announced her departure from WWE. Dave Meltzer of F4WOnline.com noted the following regarding her decision to leave…

“I’ve talked to and heard from several people and the general thing was is just she didn’t want to do it anymore. There was no compelling reason. It was just one of those things where her parents own a studio and they thought that she’s probably going to end up working there. She doesn’t have to do it.”

“One person had contacted me and mentioned Tatyanna Dumas, who is her girlfriend, was cut, which we didn’t hear just a couple of weeks ago. They weren’t quite saying that’s why she quit but it was something that people put one and one together that maybe that had something to do with it, maybe it didn’t, I don’t know.”

Sources indicated to Bodyslam.net that WWE offered Ava a pay increase to remain with the company, but she declined the offer and ultimately decided it was time to move on.
