Alicia Fox Explains Why She Was Relieved After WWE Departure

Alicia Fox was one of the veterans of the WWE women’s division during the Divas era in the company. She reached the top of the mountain by winning the Divas Championship, becoming the first African-American woman to win the title. She parted ways with WWE earlier this year and now it she was relieved after her WWE departure.

Alicia Fox’s final advertised match for the company was on April 22, 2019. Eventually, fans noticed how Alicia Fox no longer had WWE on her Instagram bio, believing she exited the company. Fox herself then confirmed she parted ways with WWE earlier this year.

While speaking to MuscleManMalcolm, Alicia Fox provided an explanation as to why she felt relieved after leaving WWE. Alicia Fox added that she is still processing that she was there for 17 years.

I was like, okay (when I received word that my time with WWE was ending). I think I honestly… I was relieved, and still relieving completely. I think the difference between myself and like, another person is a chunk of 17 consecutive years. It has nothing to do with the particular company… I’m still processing a consecutive 17 years. But, the other afterburn that happens like, man, well at 17, what else would you think this was? What else did you think? These are really your family members, these are people you’re going to grow with and you never, still, any time in your career know if you’re gonna get the boot, whatever. So then I think that’s the relief that’s lifted is that burden of my body not being perfect is constantly still evaporating. Every day, I feel lighter and lighter in my heart, in my soul. Every day, I wake up and I can’t wait to lift myself up to bring myself back down to paradise. I swear to God. It’s bizarre. It’s bizarre only because in that lifestyle, if you’re conditioned to just go, be perfect, be the champion, I don’t know and this ain’t anybody else’s words but mine, but if that was my driving desire, that got to a point where I didn’t find my life interesting. It was bleak. So it’s like, don’t take this stuff home but, our life is so entangled with the way we just get ready for our everyday that if I’m not leaving for the airport, I’m leaving to go to Publix… I had to develop a way to come out of the character and I’m saying so far out there. But how do you escape crazy?
