Elayna Black Says She Missed Wrestling Two Weeks After Announcing Her Break
Elayna Black missed wrestling just weeks after starting her break.
Weeks after being released from WWE in May 2025, Elayna Black decided to take a temporary hiatus from wrestling to focus on her mental health. Black would then return to the business in January 2026, signing with TNA.
Speaking with Soundsphere Magazine for a new interview, Black said that she started to miss wrestling two weeks after stepping back.
“I knew if I didn’t miss it, that maybe it was time for me to move on. But the fact that I missed it two weeks after I made the post and decided to step back — I took more time than I even wanted to, just because I knew it would be best. It refined my love of wrestling.”
