Emma took to social media and thanked fans for their support following her release. She noted that she wasn't expecting a call, but she wasn't shocked. Emma recalled how she was excited to return to WWE, but it became clear that it wasn't her time. She made it clear that she was excited about the opportunities that have opened up, and she is grateful that she met her soon-to-be- husband, Riddick Moss, during her time in WWE. Emma also teased that she looks forward to taking fans on more adventures in the future.

The statement is as follows:

Thank you for all the lovely messages and comments, I see you all and your support never goes unnoticed!

While I wasn’t expecting a call yesterday, it’s also fair to say that I wasn’t shocked. When I returned to WWE I was so excited, I was ready to work my a** of and do all the things I didn’t get to do first time around. But it became apparent pretty quickly that this wasn’t my time. And that’s ok!

Would I have loved to wrestle a stadium show in my home country, you bet. But now many doorways and opportunities have opened up and that’s exciting.

I feel very fortunate today. I met my soon to be husband in WWE. I’m so grateful for that and the beautiful life we have been building.

I get to spend more time with family and friends and can really focus on the important things in my life.

You bet I’m going to be traveling as much as possible. I can’t wait to see more of the world, and take you all on more adventures with us soon - In more ways than one! Stay tuned.

Before she returned to WWE, Dashwood also had a prominent run in IMPACT Wrestling.
