In a recent interview with the A2theK Wrestling Show, WWE Hall of Famer Alundra Blayze (aka Madusa) opened up about being released from WWE while still Women’s Champion in 1995. This led to the infamous moment on WCW Monday Nitro when she threw the WWE Women’s Championship in the trash. Highlights of her appearance are below:
On being released in 1995 while still champion: “I knew it wasn’t deliberate. [I was] getting ready to leave and FedEx came to my door and handed me a FedEx, and thank God I opened it. I open it and it was a letter and I’m like, ‘We will no longer be needing your services in the WWE.’ I was like, ‘What? What the hell? What? This is a rib, right? This is a joke.’ Nope. Called the office, that’s what it was. Just let me go. I was still their champion. [Vince] wasn’t thinking right … He wasn’t in his right mind and when I say that, I knew it wasn’t hurtful or deliberate.”
Her belief that McMahon wasn’t thinking right at the time: “He was going through the steroid scandal then which was huge, he was going through the IRS scandal and all the, you know, personal crap and s*** that they needed to downsize because their doors almost closed right then.”
Madusa would later make a return to the WWE, competing at the all-women’s Evolution show in 2018. She competed in the show’s battle royale, where the winner earned a shot at a women’s title. You can see video of her appearance below:
