Former WWE Star Responds To Claims They Had ‘No Passion’

A former WWE star has responded to claims that they had “no passion” and that led to them deciding to leave the company recently.

A few weeks ago, Jazmyn Nyx left WWE due to not being happy with the money she was offered to re-sign.

After she left, a number of people, including WWE Hall of Famer Bully Ray, accused her of lacking passion because she came in as an athlete rather than as an indie wrestler.

Appearing on the Ariel Helwani Show today, Nyx responded to that idea, saying:

“I really respect him, I think there’s nothing wrong with what he’s saying. Everyone is entitled to their own opinions. It’s not like we know each other on a personal level, so he won’t know for sure if that passion burns within me.

“When it comes from, yes I played soccer and had a passion for soccer, and training I had to put myself through a lot to be successful in that, and the same with WWE, you have to work hard. “I think just because my journey was a little different doesn’t mean I don’t have passion or building passion to the future of WWE, making it to main roster, I for sure have passion.

“I think that was a little of a hard take but everyone is entitled to their own opinions, and if that’s how he perceives me, that is what it is, and that’s what people do say when athletes come in.

“I’ve never been like that, you can’t put your all into something if you don’t have passion. The stuff I’ve already done, the work I put in both on and off TV, I personally don’t think it’s possible to do all of that without having passion or love for what I’m doing.”

Nyx also said she’s open to wrestling on the indies following her WWE departure if the opportunities line up with her other plans.
