Gisele Shaw discusses not appearing in NXT.
2024 was a massive year for TNA Wrestling, as the promotion launched a successful partnership with WWE's NXT brand. As a result, a number of TNA stars like Joe Hendry, Zachary Wentz, Trey Miguel, and Masha Slamovich have all appeared in NXT. On the other hand, NXT stars like Wes Lee, Charlie Dempsey, Arianna Grace, Wendy Choo have appeared in TNA.
Some fans believe that Gisele Shaw should have appeared in NXT before her departure from TNA, specifically due to the fact that Roxanne Perez mentioned her in an interview.
In a new interview with Ring The Belle, Shaw said that she wasn't bothered by this, noting that she's happy for all of the TNA stars that appeared in NXT.
“You know what, I don’t really think of it that much. I don’t want it to be like a weird thing, but in wrestling, there’s so many things happening that I can’t take that personally because maybe it’s not — to me, I think about wrestling, it’s like you’re auditioning for a role and maybe the role, it wasn’t fitting. I’m happy for all the people that went to NXT you know and their partnership, but my day will come and I feel like that’s what I need to focus on.”
Elsewhere in the interview, Shaw explained her decision to request her release from TNA. Check out her full comments by clicking here.
