Layla announces retirement from WWE


WWE's website has a new interview with Layla, who has announced her retirement. She commented on the decision:

"I feel like deciding to retire from the ring has been a hard decision to make because I’m passionate and I love performing. I’ve known everybody in that company now for nine years. They’re family. I spend more time with crew and Superstars and Divas on the roster than I did with anybody else. It becomes part of your life. And not only that, it’s hard walking away from the fans. Part of me feels a little bit guilty for walking away because [WWE fans] are 100 percent loyal and have supported me since 2006. I wouldn’t even have this job if the fans didn’t vote in the Diva Search. I was able to win that competition because of them and I was blessed. But sometimes you just need to step out and take a risk and move onto the next phase in life."

She also commented on what's next for her:

"What’s next for Layla? To be perfectly honest, the first two weeks, I’m doing absolutely nothing. [laughs] No, I have stuff that I would like to do. I would maybe like to do some TV stuff, whether it’s in the States or in the U.K. I’ve talked a little bit about maybe going back into my dance background. I’m going to start choreographing and might even go back to the Heat to start choreographing with them. And then, of course, I’m engaged now to my fiancĂ© Richard. We’re going to get married and then later on, in a few years, I want to have some kids and start my family life."

The TV and digital campaign, which coincides with Mother’s Day, calls on supporters to do something meaningful for their moms and the other important women in their lives.

As part of the campaign, WWE will urge fans to support moms by taking steps to educate themselves about the disease, participate in local Susan G. Komen Races in their communities, and donate to Komen, the world’s largest nonprofit funder of breast cancer research and community outreach programs. The campaign will be promoted through all of WWE’s assets, including TV broadcasts, live events, digital and social media.

"Santa’s Helper" No. 1 Contender’s Diva Battle Royal

Naughty or nice, most Divas have the same wish this holiday season: winning the “Santa’s Helper” No. 1 Contender’s Diva Battle Royal this Sunday on the WWE TLC: Tables, Ladders & Chairs free online Pre-Show.

Eight of WWE’s fiercest females will light up Brooklyn, N.Y.’s Barclays Center like a tree in Rockefeller Center in the prelude to this Sunday’s pay-per-view. The Pre-Show will stream live on WWE.com, YouTube.com/WWE and Facebook.com/WWE starting at 7:30 p.m. ET/4:30 p.m. PT. Among the Divas gunning for Eve’s butterfly-emblazoned title are former champions Alicia Fox, Layla and Natalya, as well as Kaitlyn, AJ Lee, Rosa Mendes, Aksana and Tamina Snuka.

The last time the Divas collided in a Battle Royal — to decide the top challenger to then–Divas Champion Layla — WWE NXT season three winner Kaitlyn stunned the WWE Universe by outlasting Eve. Will luck strike the powerhouse Diva again, or will Kaitlyn find only coal in her stocking this Sunday?

Eve will surely keep a close eye on the over-the-top action that even Mrs. Claus would approve of. Aside from the former champions, the field is packed with threats to Eve’s title reign. Tamina Snuka has re-entered the Divas title contention in a big way, “Superfly”-splashing through lesser opponents. A rare exception to that was AJ, who upended Tamina with a quick, flash pinfall on the Dec. 3 Raw. Will Tamina’s power and intimidation help her cruise through the competition, will AJ’s tenacity pay off or will another Diva push her way to victory and a Divas Championship match?

Find out by clicking on to the free WWE TLC Pre-Show, streaming live this Sunday at 7:30 p.m. ET/4:30 p.m. PT.

WWE Superstars Lay the SmackDown Aboard Stennis


Wrestlers from World Wrestling Entertainment visited sailors aboard the Nimitz-class aircraft carrier USS John C. Stennis (CVN 74) Nov. 25.

The WWE superstars, which included Vince “Mr. McMahon” McMahon, Eve Torres, Layla El Barrami, Ronnie “R. Truth” Killings, and Mike “The Miz” Mizanin, were making their first visit to a Navy aircraft carrier.

“We’ve been to Iraq, Iran, and Afghanistan so many times,” said McMahon, CEO and chairman of the WWE. “We wanted to do something different this year and this is awesome.”

While on board the wrestlers toured the ship and interacted with sailors along the way and observed flight operations as Navy jets roared on and off the flight deck.

“I was in awe of the young ages of the men and women who are turning these planes,” said Torres, the current WWE diva champion. “Everything operates like clockwork; it’s amazing.”

After flight operations, the wrestlers toured the ship’s navigation bridge and posed for photos with sailors.

“I’m excited,” said Seaman Elexus Rosechong from Dallas. “This is definitely one of the most memorable moments in my Navy career.”

“This was great for them to come out here and visit us,” said Lt. Rob Gordon, a pilot assigned to Strike Fighter Squadron (VFA) 14. “It was a good morale boost, especially for those sailors who are spending the holidays away from home.”
