Palmer was part of a large group of releases that included main roster names like Braun Strowman, Shayna Baszler, and Dakota Kai, as well as fellow NXT talents such as Gigi Dolin, Cora Jade, Gallus, and others. Following the news, Palmer took to social media to address her departure and future. In an emotional statement, she expressed gratitude for her time and confirmed her decision to retire: "Thank you WWE for bringing me to the love of my life🤍 the past 3 years have been amazing! It's a bittersweet feeling to be officially closing out my athletic career, but I can truly say I went til the wheels fell lol. Our bodies are a gift and mine has been so kind to me. I look forward to this next chapter!! Gods been giving me some big dreams with bringing my business back and I couldn't be more stoked about it! Thank you all for the support❤️❤️" A subsequent report from Fightful Select corroborated her retirement intentions, noting that industry sources they spoke with "don't believe that Dani Palmer will continue in wrestling."

It was announced that WWE wrestler Braun Strowman will face heavyweight boxer Tyson Fury and WWE champion Brock Lesnar will take on former UFC heavyweight champion Cain Velasquez at the WWE's Crown Jewel event at Fahd International Stadium in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia on October 31. More Dani Palmer (real name Alexis Amrhein), a highly decorated former collegiate acrobat and tumbler who secured three NCAA National Championships, joined WWE through its Next In Line (NIL) program in 2022. After training at the Performance Center, she primarily competed on the NXT Level Up show and had a brief tag team run with Tatum Paxley on NXT television. Unfortunately, her progress was significantly hampered by a serious hip injury that required surgery in 2024, keeping her sidelined prior to her release. Her retirement marks an unfortunate end to a promising athletic career cut short by injury. It's unclear what she will be doing with herself going forward as a career, but it won't be as a pro wrestler. More WWE News: For more on WWE, head to Newsweek Sports.
