Alexis Gray is determined to continue her journey in the wrestling world following her WWE release.
Alexis Gray, a former sprinter for Texas Southern University, and she signed a developmental deal with WWE in January 2023. She never made her in-ring debut for the company, as she was released in a wave of cuts on September 21.
Speaking with Steve Fall for WrestlingNews.co, Gray was asked whether she thought she might be released when the WWE/UFC merger happened. She noted that she had that thought, but she was still baffled when she got the call.
“I honestly think a lot of us had that mindset,” Alexis Gray said. “I personally did have that thought in the back of my mind, but because I was so new, I kind of didn’t accept that maybe I was a part of the people that were gonna get laid off.
“So when I did get the call, it was baffling to me. I had a plan, you know, [and] I felt like things were finally making sense in the company. I felt like I understood what they were requesting of us, to just be cut off right, immediately, as I understood it, so it was a lot. It was crazy.”
Alexis Gray On Her Future
During the interview, Alexis Gray was also asked to discuss her future. She stated that she is not going to stop. Gray noted that she is looking for a wrestling school so she can continue her training.
“Currently, I’m going to try to find a wrestling school because I’m definitely not going to stop. I definitely have to show you guys what I look like in that ring,” Alexis Gray said. “That is probably the main thing that I think is so heavy on my heart, the fact that I had so much planned, and now it’s even more postponed. But I mean, the wait is gonna be worth it.
“I’m more excited. The more I wait, the more ideas I get. The more anxious I get, the more excited I get, the more passionate I get about the sport, [and] I’m just ready, I’m so ready looking forward to the future trying to find a great school. I’m just reaching out to a lot of the ladies in wrestling.”
