Velvet Sky just revealed why she was never signed to WWE and shes pointing directly at former talent executive John Laurinaitis.
After a fan posted a clip of her 2005 Sunday Night Heat match against Victoria and wondered why WWE never signed her, Velvet took to Twitter and gave a very honest answer. The reason? Her relationship status and a policy enforced by then-talent executive John Laurinaitis.
Velvet Sky went on to say that she chose to stand by her partner rather than change her personal life for a shot at a WWE deal.
Velvet Sky would go on to build a legacy in TNA Wrestling, becoming one of the most recognizable women in the promotions history as part of The Beautiful People alongside Angelina Love. In October 2025, they were inducted into the TNA Hall of Famecementing their impact on the business.
Velvet Skys story is another look at the behind-the-scenes decisions that shaped wrestlings past and not always for the better. While WWE passed, Velvet built a legacy that didnt need their stamp of approval.
