Isla Dawn is telling her fans not to grieve for her, as she’s “not dead yet.”

Dawn was part of the latest round of WWE roster cuts on February 7, which also included Sonya Deville, Cedric Alexander, Blair Davenport, and others.

On Saturday, she posted a video on social media, hinting at what’s next for her career.

She says in the video:

“One of the sad facts of life is that you won’t hear all the good things that people have to say about you until you’re gone. Everyone bottles up their emotions only to pour them over your lifeless frame when it is just… a little too late. ‘Oh my god, I’m gonna miss her! Oh my god, she… was a champion. She was a star! She did not deserve this!'”

Dawn framed her release as a revival rather than an ending.

“Did I deserve this? No. But I did need it. I was bleeding out and this was the pressure in the gauze. I was crashing. This is the thing that revived me. My heart stopped on the table but someone down there sent me back up knowing that it wasn’t quite my time. The white witch is gone. The unholy enchantress buried in the grave. Two-time tag team champion, ashes in an urn. But don’t grieve for me. Isla Dawn’s not dead yet.”

Shortly after her release, Dawn posted the date May 9, 2025, implying she will be available to take bookings beginning then.

Dawn debuted for WWE in November 2017, losing to Asuka in a squash match. She later competed in the 2018 Mae Young Classic before becoming a regular in NXT UK. In 2021, she teamed with Alba Fyre to form The Unholy Union and was drafted to SmackDown in 2023. Her final WWE match, a loss to Shotzi on Speed, was taped on February 7—the day before her release was confirmed.
