However, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/aew\/news-former-wwe-personality-confirms-approached-aew-job\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-is-sponsored=\"false\">the star immediately turned the entire story<\/a> down, revealing that she left the Stamford-based company on great terms, and that she hadn&#8217;t approached AEW for a contract. <\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Interesting theory, Jersey Joe. Incorrect, but creative. I left WWE by choice after 8 years, on good terms, no ghosting, no bad blood. And since we\u2019re clearing things up: I\u2019ve never pursued AEW or any other wrestling company.
