Sonny Kiss signed with AEW in 2019 and was largely featured on AEW Dark and Dark: Elevation throughout her time in the company.
Kiss' contract with AEW expired at end of August and was not renewed by the company.
Speaking to Women's Wrestling Talk, Kiss discussed her AEW departure and when she found out.
"That was a very emotional time, especially like it still is to this day. Like, I still think about it, of course, it still feels very fresh. But when that happened, and I was going to Chicago and I did the Effy's Gay Brunch and all throughout all of that it was very, like... I felt like everybody was staring at me and wondering how I was feeling. And I think they were trying to pick my brain and see what was going on. Like, why was I no longer there, it was just a lot. It was super emotional for me," she said.
Tony Khan confirmed during the AEW All Out media scrum that Kiss' contract was not renewed.
"I did, and I want to say this too, I am so grateful for Tony Khan. Tony Khan has always been great to me in the sense of ...first of all, he helped pay my bills during a global pandemic . You know, there's so many great things about Tony Khan and people expect me to say something negative about him, but no he's given me my life... he gave me stability in my life. Like I said he helped pay my bills during a time where a lot of people were not, you know, things weren't so uncertain. So, yeah, no, I'm forever grateful for Tony Khan," she said.
Kiss has since appeared for IMPACT Wrestling, making her debut in the Call Your Shot Gauntlet at IMPACT Bound For Glory.
