This week, WWE made several roster cuts, releasing both former champions and rising stars. Among them was Isla Dawn, who confirmed her departure via an Instagram story. In response to the news, WWE Women’s Intercontinental Champion Lyra Valkyria shared an intriguing message wishing Dawn’s future beyond WWE.

Taking to X, Valkyria sarcastically referred to Dawn’s release as “good news” for the locker room. She praised the 31-year-old’s unmatched charisma, stating that it made competition difficult for others. Valkyria then wished luck to the future locker rooms where the former Women’s Tag Team Champion would undoubtedly assert her dominance.

Good Riddance We’re FREE! Unfortunately she’s indestructible, and after coming all the way from hell, I doubt she’ll stop here. Good luck to the next locker room; you’ll always know when she’s in the room or even in the building…you’ll hear her before you see her

Dawn had been with WWE for eight years, signing her contract in late 2017. During her tenure, she captured the Women’s Tag Team Championship alongside her close friend Alba Fyre, holding the titles in both NXT and on the main roster. With her 90-day non-compete clause in effect, it remains to be seen where the 31-year-old will land next once her WWE obligations conclude.

Additionally, the WWE locker room has been sending well wishes to all the superstars released alongside Isla Dawn. Notable names such as The Good Brothers, Blair Davenport, Cedric Alexander, and The Authors of Pain were among those affected by this year’s budget cuts ahead of WrestleMania. It will be interesting to see where these talents make their mark next in the world of professional wrestling.

Isla Dawn’s departure is set to leave a significant void in the women’s division. As part of a tag team with Alba Fyre, she was thriving in the women’s tag team scene. However, it appears that her release was the only plan Triple H had for her in WWE. Following the news, WWE star Michin shared her reaction to the shocking exit.
