A.Q.A., who went by Zayda Ramier during her time with NXT, recently made an appearance on “A Wrestling Gal,” where she opened up about the circumstances surrounding her release from the promotion.
Ramier was released from her WWE contract just seven months after she signed on with the company. In those seven months, she had only had five matches in NXT.
As it turns out, the reasons for her sparse appearances and early release from contract had to do with her health. She revealed on the podcast that she suffers from anxiety.
Unbeknownst to me, I deal with anxiety. I have anxiety which almost everybody does but, I always have those exact symptoms except for it’s always followed by like the hyper, I’m like [breathing rapidly].
During one specific incident, she believes she experienced her anxiety acting up. However, since it wasn’t accompanied by the hyperventilation, she could not tell for sure. WWE’s medical staff ran a couple of tests and cleared her. Although, since they could not determine the underlying cause, she was medically disqualified from competing for the company.
Ramier has since visited her family doctor, and undergone more tests, which determined that she was likely just dehydrated on that occasion. The brawler is doing much better now, and is set to compete for Generation Championship Wrestling as a part of the promotion’s Diamond Cup tournament. Check out the interview below.
