Leva Bates and All Elite Wrestling have parted ways.
On Monday, Bates took to Twitter to announce that her AEW contract has expired and she’ll be moving on to her next project. She wrote,
“As of today, my contract with AEW has expired. The last four years have been quite a ride; I’ve learned so much and grown exponentially. I’ve seen wrestling history take place as someone who was on the team since before the first show. I appreciate & love all the crew, staff and talent; I will cherish all our memories together. I’ve given my time, my focus, and my effort to the company, but now I’ve got to focus on myself, my future and my career. I hope you all, my friends, fans and loved ones, stay with me through this next chapter of my journey. I hope to make you all proud no matter where I go.”
Since joining AEW back in 2019, Bates has worked as both an in-ring performer and in a backstage capacity.
