Robert Stone didn't drive away Jessi Kamea's interšest in wrestling.
Jessi Kamea was unfortunately recently released by WWE in November 2021, capping off her five year stint with the company. Despite signing in 2017, Kamea wasn't consistently on NXT television until 2021 where she formed a tag team with Aliyah within the Robert Stoneš„ Brand. When Aliyah was called up to thź¦ e main roster later that year, Kamea got lost in the NXT Women's Division shuffle.
When speaking , Kamea revealed that despite working on a vasą¹t amount of other projects, she isn't quite finished with wrestling just yetš .
"Thatās definitely something I know a lot of people on [social media have been asking]. Fans have been asking āWhen are you gonna wrestle again?ā. I did put a little something on my [Instagram] story like āNo, Iām not done.ā Iām excited to check out the independent scene. As somebody who really didnāt know that much about wrestling, [WWE] was my only exposure to wrestling and having other colleagues come in and tell me about their experiences with it.. itās just like this whole new world to me." Kamea said. "Iām really excited about my first match, I kind of donāt want it to be against anybody I know. That seems like such an interesting experience to me. I had the luxury of training with the same people all the time. For me not knowing it was [a luxury] at the time, to be able to do everything that WWE calls for, [you have to be] a high caliber talent. I have a lot of respect for the women there. But Iām also excited to meet other women and meet other competitors on the independent scene. No idea where thatās gonna take place at first, but once it happens I will happily announce that. I still feel like itās something I want to explore."
Before joining WWE, Kamea had experienšce playing volleyball at a collegiate level at Concordia University Texas. Elsewhere in the interview, Kamea spoke about how she is currently working on multiple projects in the art world.
