WWE EVOLVE star Jin Tala, also known to WWE LFG fans as Leigh Laurel, is speaking out after her release from the company and her words are hitting deep.
Days after being cut from WWEs developmental system in October 2025, Tala took to social media to reflect on her journey, her growth, and what appears to be a heartfelt farewell to pro wrestling.
Talas release was part of a broader wave of exits from WWEs NXT and ID programs, with names like Wes Lee, Stevie Turner, Lance Anoai, and Brayden BJ Ray also shown the door. But among the names, Talas exit stood out, largely due to her presence on the A&E reality series WWE LFG, which aimed to showcase fresh talent and future stars.
Despite the abrupt end to her WWE chapter, Talaspeaking in her real name, Leigh Laureldelivered a message about her experience, commitment, and the emotional toll of chasing a dream.
Once she signed her WWE deal, that passion kicked in fast. She dove deep into the art of pro wrestling, beyond just the physicality.
She also pushed back against any critics who questioned whether she took the job seriously.
According to Laurel, she finally hit her stride over the past month from promo work to in-ring aggression, she saw real progress. But it may have come too late.
Then came the line that hit the hardest what appears to be her goodbye to wrestling altogether.
Whether or not she steps back in the ring remains unclear. But one thing is certain she found something real in wrestling, and shes walking away with pride.
