BREAKING NEWS: WWE has come to terms on the release of WWE Superstar Emma. https://t.co/mB3phnvRjX

I guess this really isn’t much of a surprise given how vocal Emma has been in recent months on social media about her standing with the company. But, with the issues with Neville and Nia Jax, I expected to see announcements about them being released sooner than Emma. And, it’s a big odd that they do this on a Sunday, but it appears both sides have come to terms with her leaving.
Emma signed with WWE in 2011, and she debuted in FCW in June 2012 after undergoing shoulder surgery. When FCW rebranded into NXT, Emma was one of the brand’s top females and one of its most popular stars. But, she would never hold the NXT Women’s Title.
She was called up to the main roster of WWE in January 2014 and paired with Santino Marella in somewhat of a comedy duo. They would feud with Summer Rae and Fandango until July when Marella announced his retirement from the ring.
Emma returned to NXT in 2015, turned heel, and really seemed to come into her own. The heel persona seemed to suit her much better, and she became a better all-around performer. She returned to the main roster in 2016, but was soon sidelined by a back injury that would keep her out for most of the year. In October, WWE began to air vignettes, touting her return as the repackaged Emmalina. That flopped big time.
After her return, Emma never seemed to find her place on the main roster. She used social media as a platform to express her displeasure with her status in the promotion. Her last appearance with the promotion was on the October 23th edition of RAW where she lost to Asuka.
Emma should have no problem returning to the indie circuit (if she chooses) and have some amazing matches with some incredible women all over the globe. And, she’ll definitely be better utilized outside of WWE.
