Dasha Fuentes officially parted ways with WWE last month following WrestleMania weekend. Fuentes recently took part in an interview with Chris Van Vliet and spoke about her WWE release, showing her personality, and talking like a robot.

When speaking on her release from WWE, Fuentes expressed she was surprised to have been let go.

“My manager at the time told me I was being released,” Fuentes said. “I don’t want to name too many names but my manager called me and that was another thing, they called me on a Tuesday and I was told ‘After the events that occurred on Monday Night Raw, we are taking you off TV and you’re not going to WrestleMania’.”

As to what those events were, Fuentes offered up the following explanation:

“I literally went back and I watched the interview and there a tiny little blip that happened but it was live, it was with Roman and I figured it was a pretty good interview and I could see the growth and consistency that was happening from week to week. So I was like ‘Series of events?’ and I was just taken aback.”

Fuentes was told to wait for a call from WWE the week after.

“I figured I would relax and not freak out about this, maybe they’re going to send me back to NXT because a lot of people don’t know that I ring announced for NXT and that’s my passion, I love ring announcing. I was told I’d get a call the next week and told what was going on. Well, the following Monday after WrestleMania I got a call that lasted literally like a minute and a half and they said ‘We’re letting you go’ and I was like ‘Well, thanks for 5 years.’ and that’s it.”


Fuentes also commented on criticism from fans regarding her acting robotically on camera.

“It’s trying to oddly find that balance of not showing too much personality which as you can see I kind of have a little bit of it and showcasing the talent because at the end of the day it’s about the talent and what it is that they have to say,” Fuentes said. “They don’t want us to skew any opinions or form any biases about what’s going on so for me that’s the hard part because I’m all or nothing.”

She also commented on WWE changing their minds frequently regarding booking decisions.

“You know I don’t know what goes on in their minds up there. One day something is 100% what they want and the next day they wake up on the other side of the bed or a butterfly flaps its wings and this butterfly effect happens and it completely changes. It’s one of those things where you have to take any sort of criticism or critique with a grain of salt and be flexible.”

Fuentes also mentioned she is considering getting back in the ring.
