Kylie Rae leaves AEW, done with wrestling?

[Steveweiser]

Rovert posted this during The Buy In, and he's very well connected. Would be an absolutely massive shame if this story was true, Kylie suddenly went radio silent a couple of months ago, and AEW personnel change the subject whenever she's brought up. Complete mystery here, she had loads of potential to be a massive superstar.

UPDATE: Tony Khan confirmed backstage at All Out that Kylie and AEW came to terms on her release from the company.

The only rumor or lead of any kind for why she disappeared is 'a medical issue of some sort'.

In that case, I would be of 2 different mindsets:

- If the issues include any sort of mental or personal issues with her, then I'm ok with her keeping quiet based on that. Those types of issues are still very hard to discuss for someone facing them.

- Otherwise, maybe if it was just some sort of physical ailment making her walk away, she should have told at least someone. (Or maybe she did at least tell the higher-ups of AEW, and they've kept it tight-lipped out of respect for her.)

Either way I hope she gets the help she needs, because it must've been SOMETHING wrong of some sort.

[2coldMack is even more baffled]

If true, that's a shame, she became someone I was a REAL big fan of, sucks to know I got into her work at the tail end of her career.

[Hypnosis]

I suspected this was going to be the case given what's been happening with her since June.

Hopefully she'll be able to return one day whenever any personal/medical issues get sorted out.

I've been worried about Kylie Rae and I hope that if she needs it, that she can get any help she can with whatever issues she's dealing with.

That’s a real bummer if true. I was a big fan of Kylie’s work on the independent scene and thought she could be a real player for a big company. Although I thought it was weird when AEW had her doing bikini photo shoots and whatnot. That’s not really her whole deal.

Hopefully it’s nothing serious with her health mentally or physically, and just her deciding maybe this isn’t the life for her. Best wishes her way for sure.

A little dubious of the sour though considering all the rumors about Rovert.

That’s a shame. I really liked her from what I’ve seen.

Her happiness and well being is more important than my wrestling fandom however. So I wish her all the best.

[TWERKIN' MAGGLE]

Bummer if true, Cody said she was nicer than Bayley, so I wanted to see what that was all about.

Where are we going to find another Bayley-lite!?

[Heartbreaker]

If she is going through personal issues, I hope everything is okay.

Is this really the right tone for a thread where there's concern about possible health problems ending someone's career?

[EoE: Well There's Your Problem]

All the radio silence seems to indicate to me that it might be something beyond a mere physical injury. I hope she’s getting all the support she needs.

Whatever the issue is, I hope she's okay and does whatever is right for her.

These type of twitter rumours/insinuations are often relatively fast spread on twitter. Naturally sometimes it's made up stuff, sometimes right. For example during DoN somebody randomly made up that the women's 4 way is canceled and the wrong rumour was spread by the same twitter people as a supposed insider information too. That Rae is retired is a rumour that maybe had its origin here www.reddit.com/r/SquaredCircle/comments/cy5wfg/spoilers_to_retire_early_due_to_an_unforeseen/ . The same reddit poster also got the fast spread and later confirmed rumour about Moxley, so it may be legit (not 100% sure, since Rae was a safe guess and Moxely's injury was already reported by the Observer).

Anyway, Sapp asked Khan officially on the All Out media scrum and got the mentioned answer. So she's released. Hope she's okay, but if she doesn't want the reason to be public known it is okay to stay that way.

Shame to hear, she really was a remarkable talent for how inexperienced she was and it looked like the sky's the limit for her with how fast she rose in popularity.

I hope whatever the issue is she finds a happy resolution to it and she's able to live a good life (whether it has wrestling involved or not).

Maybe she's just pregnant and wants her privacy?

1) Their characters are absolutely nothing alike.
2) Dude, read the room. This is poor taste.

[King Devitt]

This is disappointing, and I hope everything gets ironed out for her.

I usually don't like "overly happy" characters, but she was so damn good at it.

I hope the door is open to return if she ever chooses to, she was on the cusp of big things.

I suppose that'd be the best-case scenario, her being pregnant and wanting to be stop wrestling to be a mom. I hope it's something positive like that.
