Adriana Rizzo Departs WWE, Issues Statement
Adriana Rizzo has departed WWE.
Fightful Select has confirmed that Adriana Rizzo and WWE have parted ways.
Rizzo posted the following statement on her departure:
My journey with WWE has come to an end.
The last four years have taken me through some of the highest highs and hardest moments of my life, and through all of it, I’m proud that I always remained me.
I’m incredibly grateful for my time as part of The D’Angelo Family. They truly became family to me. Becoming Adriana Rizzo was such a unique experience, and I loved every second of bringing her to life. That opportunity showed me that I was capable of so much more than I ever knew.
My journey wasn’t an easy one. An Achilles rupture and surgery, followed by an ACL and meniscus surgery, kept me out of the ring for nearly half of my time in NXT. But I fought like hell to come back.
And I did.
What makes this ending difficult is knowing how hard I fought to get back, and not getting the opportunity to show all of you just how much more I had to give. But I’ll never regret the fight it took to get there.
If any part of my journey means something to someone who has been knocked down, overlooked, injured, or told they were too far behind, I hope it reminds you to keep going. STAY RESILIENT!
Thank you to every coach, producer, teammate, friend, and person who believed in me and helped me along the way. And thank you to everyone who supported Adriana Rizzo. 🤌❤️
I don’t know exactly where the road takes me from here, but I know there is a lot more of my story left to write. If you want to continue supporting me and what I’ve been building check out https://saltanddaughters.com 🧂🌊
Onto the next chapter. And remember… Fool me once – I break ya face!
