Roster changes are a common occurrence in WWE, but sometimes exits come as surprises, with unexpected names departing the Stamford-based promotion. One such departure was that of Amari Miller, who had made a notable impression with her performances in NXT.
Miller had been with the company since May 2021 until her release earlier this month. She primarily featured on NXT Level Up over the past year, often falling short in her matches.
Recently, Amari Miller took to social media to announce her departure from WWE, revealing that neither party opted to renew her contract upon its expiration.
Now, in a candid interview with Steve Fall, the 27-year-old wrestler opened up about the reasons behind her unexpected exit from the company.

Miller cited creative differences as a significant factor, noting a lack of compelling ideas from the creative team for her character. Despite her dedicated presence and commitment to daily training, she felt it was best to part ways.
“It was mostly creative. They didn’t have anything for me creatively, and my contract was ending anyway, so I felt it was best for both worlds. It mostly came from their side. Not like an ‘oh, please, I’m begging.’ It was more, ‘Thank you for the opportunity, I appreciate it.’ There is nothing I felt I could have done. I worked my bu** off. I was there every day,” Amari Miller candidly shared.
As for what lies ahead for Miller, only time will tell. Amari Miller wasn’t the only surprising departure from WWE recently.
Matt Camp, known for his role as a host on WWE’s digital programming like WWE’s The Bump, among other shows, was also recently released. His departure came as a shock to many backstage, given his reputation as a consummate professional.
Furthermore, Jennifer Pepperman, a senior writer and producer with WWE for six years, also recently parted ways with the company. While it was reported that Pepperman chose to leave rather than being released, her exit marked another notable change within the Stamford-based promotion.
