Gigi Dolin and Cora Jade React To Report They Were Released By WWE For Being Lazy
It's fair to say that Gigi Dolin and Cora Jade do not agree with what some are saying about their WWE releases. Gigi Dolin and Cora Jade were two of the multiple WWE Superstars to be released by WWE on May 1. In a follow-up report, Dave Meltzer shared feedback provided to him by a source inside WWE. This source claimed many of the cuts were due to talent who were viewed as 'not working hard in training.' Advertisement 'Many of those cuts were perceived as not working hard in training. And if you don't work hard in training, there's so many people who do. And at this point, if the feeling is you're not working hard in training – I saw the term 'lazy' – the ones who are lazy are gonna be gone, and the ones who didn't stand out are gonna be gone,' Meltzer said on Wrestling Observer Radio. Gigi Dolin doesn't want to ever hear someone say she didn't work hard enough Gigi Dolin took issue with this view, reacting to an aggregated quote of Meltzer's with the following response: 'When I wasn't traveling to work for either of the two companies I was working for, I trained very hard 3-4 days a week. Bumping my ass off and doing cardio drills with one of the best/toughest coaches I've worked with,' she wrote. 'And worked out every single day. With live events every other weekend. So yeah I don't wanna hear this lol. The way my body feels says otherwise.' Advertisement Cora Jade also replied to Dolin's post, claiming she was still body-shamed despite all of the hard work they had put in. 'This, plus can't forget having to go to my own gym outside of work after 'strength and conditioning' that wasn't doing anything for me other than get me body shamed by my bosses, coworkers, and fans �� crazy!' Cora wrote. Gigi Dolin will once again use her 'Priscilla Kelly' name when her WWE non-compete clause ends. Cora Jade will be using her 'Elayna Black' name she used before WWE.

Mandy Rose Reacts To Report That Some Recent WWE Releases Were Due To Laziness
Last week, WWE had released several superstars including former Universal Champion Braun Strowman, Dakota Kai, Cora Jade, Shayna Baszler, Gigi Dolin, and many more. Figure4Online's Dave Meltzer had recently reported that the reason for some of the releases was because the talents were lazy. Former NXT Women's Champion Mandy Rose recently shared her thoughts on the reports. While speaking on her Power Alphas podcast, Mandy Rose shared the reports that talents being lazy was completely false. She was also happy that Gigi Dolin and Cora Jade spoke up about the rumor. Rose also mentioned that the talents are working their rear end off constantly at the WWE Performance Center. Advertisement 'There are some rumors going around that I happened to see on social media. One rumor was, 'Apparently, the people that got released weren't putting in enough work or they were lazy.' A couple of the girls, Cora and Gigi, made a comment about it on Twitter. I like that they spoke up. I think it's BS and it's so stupid. Because we've been there and we know how it works when it comes to releases. 'You can't sit and say there was a specific reason or make up a reason of being 'someone didn't put in enough work.' There is no time to be lazy at the PC. You're training all week, you're putting in the work, some of these girls have been there a couple of years now. You're going to live events and traveling all around Florida. You have one day off, like Sunday, to regroup and all that. You're hustling. To say that is so stupid. Then there was a rumor 'Braun Strowman was getting paid too much,' maybe that's true, I don't know,' Mandy Rose said.
