Speaking in a recent interview with David Otunga, Dawn Marie noted that getting fired was a good thing. She also mentioned that she had a bittersweet memory of her time in WWE, as appearing on NXT in 2024 led to a mixed reaction from her.

“I loved it. But I loved it so much that it made me sad, but I also hated it so much because it was bringing back things that I just pushed away that I didn’t want to deal with… It was exactly what I needed to heal (regarding her NXT appearance). I felt when I left that arena—I felt like new. That heaviness was gone. That self-doubt, that question, that this—that personal and professional, right? It was just gone.”

Dawn Marie also spoke about why she was fired from WWE

According to Dawn Marie, the reason behind her termination from the Stamford-based promotion was her pregnancy.

Speaking in the same interview, she said:

“You know, well, I was the first woman to ever get pregnant in the industry. So I was the first woman to ever get pregnant under contract like that, and I got fired for it. I told them on a Tuesday and never was back again… No, they kicked me off TV for a little bit, and then they fired me. They told me they had nothing for me. They even tried to take me off the ECW reunion. And I had to get my lawyers to fight that. But I fought them. Like, this was my journey.”

While Dawn Marie made another appearance in WWE in 2024, showing up on NXT, it should be noted though that she did not return as an in-ring active wrestler.
