Released WWE Star Makes In-Ring Return at Indie Event

Xia Li made headlines a few years ago as the first Chinese talent to join WWE. After honing her skills in NXT, she debuted on Friday Night SmackDown in 2021. Following her release from WWE earlier this year, she recently competed in her first match since leaving the company.

Back in April this year, Xia Li announced her departure from WWE, surprising many fans who were eager to see what she could achieve as a Superstar, but many felt she simply could not reach her true potential there.

It was clear she would be competing in the ring again soon enough and that’s exactly what happened. Xia Li made her return to in-ring action during West Coast Pro’s Queen of indies event at the United Irish Culture Center in San Francisco. Xia Li teamed up with Aja Kong, Viva Van and Li managed to showcase her skills in the match as well.

This was certainly a great showing for Xia Li and we will have to wait and see what’s next in store for her, as fans are hopeful she will end up signing with a major pro wrestling company soon enough.
