In a shocking turn of events, WWE released a batch of talented wrestlers on May 3, including Emma Diaz, who has now revealed her new ring name – Carolina Cruz. Despite the setback, Cruz is determined to continue her wrestling career in the independent scene, and her recent announcement has sent ripples of excitement among wrestling fans.
Cruz, who featured in WWE Next Gen, was one of the promising talents who unfortunately got caught in the roster cut. However, the determined wrestler refuses to let this setback hold her back. She has taken to social media to reveal her new ring name, Carolina Cruz, marking a new chapter in her wrestling career.
In a heart-to-heart conversation with WrestleZone, Cruz shared her future plans, which include training with the likes of Sean Spears and Tyler Breeze at Booker T’s Reality of Wrestling. The ambitious wrestler is keen to hone her skills and make a name for herself in the independent scene.
Interestingly, Cruz’s release from WWE has also had a silver lining. With the financial stability of her WWE contract gone, her romantic relationship with NXT star Lexis King, aka Brian Pillman Jr., was put to the test. However, her partner has been supportive of her decision to venture into the independent scene, having experienced it himself.
Moreover, Cruz’s release has also given her the opportunity to complete her Biology program at the University of Central Florida. She intends to wrap up her final semester and then focus on her pro wrestling career, hoping to get picked up by a major promotion.
Cruz’s story is a reminder that setbacks can often lead to new opportunities. Many wrestlers, including Cody Rhodes, have faced a similar situation and gone on to achieve greater success. With hard work and determination, there’s every possibility that Cruz will follow suit and return to the wrestling world an even bigger star.
As Carolina Cruz begins her new journey, fans are eagerly waiting to see what the future holds for this talented wrestler. Will she make a triumphant return to the WWE or carve out a successful career in the independent scene? Only time will tell, but one thing is certain – Cruz’s determination and resilience will take her far in professional wrestling.
