Carlee Bright is the latest name added to WWE's growing list of post-WrestleMania 42 departures, and she revealed the news herself on Sunday evening, just hours before her appearance on Season 3 of WWE LFG aired on A&E.

Bright was not on any of the originally reported lists from Friday's roster cuts, which included Kairi Sane, Aleister Black, Zelina Vega, the entire Wyatt Sicks faction, and roughly 25 other talents. She broke the news through an Instagram post on Sunday night.

"Tonight, you'll see me on Season 3 of WWE LFG," Bright wrote. "What you won't see…is that just two days ago, my time with WWE has officially come to an end."



Bright, whose real name is Kennedy Cummins, signed with WWE following the company's SummerSlam tryouts in August 2022 and reported to the Performance Center that November. She debuted under the Carlee Bright name on NXT Level Up in January 2024 before graduating to the main NXT television program.

"This wasn't how I imagined this chapter ending, but if there's one thing this journey taught me, it's how to fight through uncertainty and the moments that test who you really are," Bright wrote.

"From all the hours filming, hair spray and makeup, long drives, and intense training days, I really did feel like my very own Hannah Montana, living the best of both worlds."

Bright's last WWE match took place on the February 4 episode of WWE EVOLVE. She had spent recent months as a featured competitor on the Tubi-based developmental brand while also being filmed for LFG Season 3.

Despite the timing, Bright will still appear throughout Season 3 of Legends and Future Greats, which premieres Sunday night at 10:00 PM ET on A&E. The new season features Kevin Owens as a coach alongside Booker T, Bubba Ray Dudley, and Natalya, with the show shifting to an "every man or woman for themselves" format.

Bright is the second confirmed LFG Season 3 cast member to be released this week. Sirena Linton was named in Friday's reported cuts, and 2025 LFG winner Tyra Mae Steele was also let go.

"Lastly, to sweet, baby Kenny, you did it. You made it farther than you ever thought you would," Bright wrote, referring to her childhood self. "You lived out your childhood dream, and that makes me truly feel like the luckiest girl in the world."

Bright closed her message by signaling her career is far from over: "Mom and dad didn't raise a quitter. This chapter may be closing, but my story is far from finished."
