Every Wrestler WWE Released In 2023
18. Aliyah
The "energetic, excitable and always engaging" (Michael Cole's words on commentary) Aliyah didn't make a splash on 2023 before she was hurled out of the WWE family. Previously, she'd been cast as someone in over her head but trying her best, and that led to an unlikely Women's Tag Title reign alongside Raquel Rodriguez.
Some might not even remember that.
Aliyah's ditzy nature conjured up memories of Maria Kanellis amongst older fans, but that's not considered a favourable comparison. Generally, 'ditzy diva' isn't going to cut in when women's wrestling is taken more seriously than ever by WWE's top brass in the modern era.
