Mia Yim Admits ‘I Really Let Myself Go’ After WWE Release

Mia Yim had a bright future ahead in WWE, as she had a solid run in NXT. However, her momentum was brought to a halt after she was called up to the main roster. This is largely due to her time in Retribution, which proved to be the final nail in the coffin for her.

Mia Yim was released by WWE on November 4 of last year after being drafted to Monday Night RAW. This release was seen as a shock for many as many fans simply wanted Mia Yim to have a good run on the main roster.

Mia Yim finally made her return to the squared circle during WrestleCon. She defeated former WWE Superstar Ember Moon in a singles match. This marked her first match since a December 2020 edition of WWE Main Event.

Mia Yim took to her Instagram and uploaded a post, where she detailed her struggles after finally getting to make a return to the squared circle.

Long post ahead.

I needed wrestlecon weekend. This photo plus my match was enough for me to get my stuff together. I really let myself go. The past year I’ve been going through a professional mental rollercoaster. The last few months, I stopped caring. I ate whatever, Worked out sporadically, keeping myself busy with real life changes. The thought of wrestling gave me more anxiety (I’m already an anxious person as it is). My mindset was not where it needed to be and it showed on my body. I refused to train in the ring leading up to my first match as the thought had me shaking. I convinced myself I wasn’t good enough, I can’t wrestle and whenever I did, it was trash so what’s the point of training when I suck anyways.

The week of my first match, I contemplated cancelling because the closer it got to the match, the less sleep I got and more doubt crept into my mind. I just wanted to get this weekend over with.

Hearing the crowd chant, having a great match with @athenapalmer_fg , keith being there to watch, and seeing people I haven’t seen in years with inspiring words before and after the match was what I needed. To all my friends and fans, thank you for reigniting that fire in me. Thank you for helping me realize I am not shit and I still got something to offer in wrestling. You all reminded me why I love wrestling and that I am good enough for it. I love you all and I promise you, we only going up from here. Let’s get back to work 💪

Ps: @sheltyb803 you still suck, hope you trip on the stairs.

The former WWE Superstar also previously stated that she can’t wait to bring back her old finisher now that she is no longer working with the company. We’ll have to see which company Mia Yim will call her home next.
