Kiyah Saint says the young girls had a hard time at the WWE Performance Center.
Kiyah Saint signed with WWE in October 2022 and competed at NXT live events. She had three matches on NXT Level Up. The company released her in a wave of cuts on May 3, 2024.
In a video on her YouTube channel, Harleigh White, formerly known as Kiyah Saint in WWE, answered questions from fans. In one highlight, she was asked to comment on her experience in WWE.
“The experience was great. I will say, when we first got there, the Nashville class, we had some trouble with some of the older girls. I don’t know, I mean, I get it. We’re all athletes, all of us are beautiful. I could understand why some of the older girls felt intimidated and they translated that by being mean to us. After the first few months, it was great. I met some of my really good friends. I don’t know, it was an experience. I’m glad it happened, I’m grateful it happened. It’s something that 99.8% of people cannot say that they were a WWE superstar, so I can say that with a chip on my shoulder," Saint said.
Later in the video, Saint was asked whether the new girls got a hard time at the WWE Performance Center.
"I kind of touched on that. Long story short, I think the culture was changing towards the end. But my class definitely got a hard time. I feel like I told my mom at one point I was getting bullied. That’s literally what it felt like," Saint said.
In another question, one fan asked Saint whether the locker room was full of drama, and she noted that there was a lot of drama and negativity.
“Short answer, yeah. Was I a part of it? No, but somehow, someone always told me what was going on. I don’t like negativity, don’t like the drama, but best believe, there’s a lot of that in there," Saint said.
