In a recent interview with Steve Fall for WrestlingNews.co, former WWE NXT UK talent Jazzy Gabert discussed several topics, including her decision to not sign a new WWE deal several years ago.

“So, all my life I wanted, just like everybody else, I wanted to work for the WWE, it was like my big-time dream, I tried and I tried and they always said no, but then in 2017, they invited me to the Mae Young Classic and it went amazing, I had two matches there, I had standing ovations, people were chanting for me, please sign Jazzy, that was like a lifetime moment, but unfortunately my neck was really bad, so when they gave me a contract, you go there and have a full body check-up, and I found out that I had an injured neck and I had to do surgery on it, and then of course they took back the contract, sorry I’m German, so my English is not that perfect.

I had surgery in 2018, I tried and asked again, so they said, okay one more time we can try, so in 2019, they offered me a contract for WWE NXT UK, I went to the Performance Center in the UK and I kind of didn’t like it, like there were a lot of issues, we don’t need to go into it again, because there’s a lot of articles about that, like you just have a quick Google search and you find everything.

It was a one-year contract and after one year they asked me, do you want to renew and I said I don’t want to renew it, because I didn’t like it, I had other cool things going on, and not knowing that the pandemic is coming, I said well, you know there’s always like, if you end up in good terms, like if you say hey, maybe I try something else and maybe I come back later, it can be a good thing, so that was my idea, like just stop for a moment, take back and rebuild everything new and then maybe come back, but yeah, everything turned out different, but at the end of the day, I’m happy with my decision, I’m happy with everything that turns out how it has to be, because now I’m a successful promoter, if I would have been still with the WWE, I would maybe just stand in the back somewhere in catering or something, I don’t know.”
