Jakara Jackson comments on WWE release, plans to continue wrestling

Jakara Jackson has commented on her WWE release.

Jackson was part of roster cuts the company made on May 2. In a video posted to her YouTube channel on Saturday, she asked to now be referred to as Miss Jackson. She also spoke about her WWE release, thanked her coaches, fans, and supporters, and confirmed she plans to continue her wrestling career.

“I did want to start by saying I’m very, very grateful and appreciative for my time in WWE,” Jackson said. “I don’t want anybody to think that just because something like this did happen that I’m upset.”

She added:

“Do I wish that I could have shown the world what I can do on my own? Hell yes. And the way I see it, I’m still going to get that opportunity, just in a different way.”

Jackson, who was a bodybuilder and fitness model before signing with WWE, appeared on NBC’s The Titan Games, hosted by The Rock, in 2020. She attended a WWE tryout the following summer and made her in-ring debut the next year. In 2023, she was paired with Lash Legend and joined Meta-Four with Oro Mensah and Noam Dar.

“I’ve gotten to do things that I never thought I would do,” she continued to say of her time in WWE. “I’ve gotten to speak to the best of the best who are in the business.”

Jackson last wrestled at TNA Rebellion in the Knockouts four-way tag title match won by Heather & Ash By Elegance. Her final WWE match came during WrestleMania Weekend at WWE World, where she and Legend defeated Jacy Jayne and Jazmyn Nyx.
