A third WWE superstar has confirmed her release in an emotional statement on social media - bringing the 2025 total exits to 39.

In a 24-hour period, WWE veterans R-Truth and Carlito confirmed their departures from the professional wrestling juggernaut - stunning fans with the news.

Truth, who recently wrestled John Cena for the undisputed WWE championship, is leaving the company after a 17-year run - while Carlito is moving on for a second time and has already captured a title with another promotion.

Both stars took to social media to share statements on their departures but on Monday night, a third performer announced that their contract was not being renewed.

Sarah Logan, who wrestled under the name Valhalla, said she was left in "tears" and her ego "damaged" after being told her contract wasn't going to be extended.

Logan, whose real-life husband Erik is part of WWE tag team the War Raiders, appeared to hint at calling time on her wrestling news and focusing on family and other interests after the news.

WWE star issues emotional statement on release

"I come to you with tears in my eyes cause our time has come to a sudden end," Logan wrote on Instagram.

"WWE informed me yesterday that they are letting my contract expire. To be completely honest my ego can’t help but be damaged. You always assume that when you end a lifelong career there is going to be a grand exit. But here I am, using the notes app on my phone typing up a goodbye letter to an entity that will forget I was even there. I truly take no offense to this, my career as it was is getting usurped by my vocation and it’s all on a Divine timeline that I I trust deeply.

"I’ll definitely miss you but know I’ll be taken care of by my wonderful husband, by the land you provided for me and alongside the children I’ve made along the way. I’m going to take off the weight of being a superstar and let myself soar being just Sarah.

"She’s been growing on me and it’s time I let her fully cultivate. I love all the people you’ve brought into my life but my social media page won’t be about you anymore. It will share only the parts of me that I wish and none of that will be wrestling. I’m more of a clean break kinda girl and the other calls to me will be taking my full attention. With all my love, Sarah."

Logan's post was met with a flurry of positive comments from her former peers. The 31-year-old debuted on the main roster in 2016 was last on WWE programming last year.

She recently became a mother for the second time - though her other half Erik had revealed she was training for a return to action.

WWE have been administering cuts across the board for a while now, with a total of 39 talents relieved of their duties this year alone - more than 2024's amount.

The base salary for main roster talent is believed to be at $350,000-a-year and so trimming the roster is an easy way for WWE to free up funds.
