Breaking News: Emma Released By WWE

On Sunday morning, WWE announced the release of RAW Superstar Emma.

A brief statement at WWE.com reads:

“WWE has come to terms on the release of WWE Superstar Emma. WWE wishes Emma the best in all of her future endeavors.”

At this time, it’s unclear what led to her release. Emma’s final WWE television appearance took place last week on RAW, when she lost to Asuka.

Emma, real name Tenille Dashwood, had been with the company since 2011, when she began training at the company’s former developmental territory, Florida Championship Wrestling. She made her NXT debut in 2012 before making her main roster debut in 2014. She returned to NXT the following year, her most successful run with the company.

Her return to the main roster in in 2016 was plagued by injuries and a botched gimmick reboot as Emmalina. Unfortunately, Emma never attained the success on the main roster that she did in NXT.

Emma remained a fan favorite throughout her WWE run, but not featured prominently as part of the Women’s Revolution as fellow NXT alums Charlotte, Sasha Banks, Alexa Bliss, Bayley and Becky Lynch flourished.
