The post-WrestleMania releases of WWE Superstars have begun this year as now former Raw Superstar Xia Li has announced her departure from the WWE. Li was last seen competing at the Women’s Royal Rumble match and before that, a feud with Becky Lynch during Lynch’s NXT title reign but aside from those and occasional matches on WWE’s Main Event show Li had sadly rarely appeared consistently on TV.
In a classy statement posted on X, Li (who has now changed her name to Xia Lee) thanked the WWE and its staff for the seven years she’s been in sports entertainment. The Chinese wrestler vowed: “This is not the end but a new beginning!”.
Superstars have reacted to the news with Iyo Sky saying she’ll miss Li and thanked her. While Kairi Sane emotionally posted: “I’m really sad. I don’t know how many times your kindness has saved me.” Others who have praised Li include Chelsea Green and AEW/ROH star Taya Valkyrie.
Everyone here at the RevELLEution looks forward to seeing what’s next in the future for Xia Li!
