Alba Fyre made a surprise appearance at Pro Wrestling EVE on June 5 under her original name, Kay Lee Ray, catching fans off guard. This was because many believed she was still under contract with WWE due to the standard 90-day non-compete clause that applies to released main-roster talent. However, in a new interview with the Daily Star, the Scottish wrestler clarified the situation, confirming she was not actually released. Instead, her contract expired at the same time as WWE’s post-WrestleMania 2026 roster cuts, allowing her to compete without any non-compete restriction.
“My contract was up, and I knew it was coming up, and I had the decision of whether I wanted to stay or not. I know some other people got fired, and they have the 90-day clause, but because mine was just a contract ending, that means I didn’t have the 90 days.” – Alba Fyre
33-year-old Fyre enjoyed a memorable seven-year WWE career after signing in 2019, following her appearance in the 2017 Mae Young Classic. She initially dominated NXT UK as a record-breaking Women’s Champion before transitioning to NXT, where she rebranded as Alba Fyre and formed The Unholy Union with Isla Dawn. The duo captured both the NXT and WWE Women’s Tag Team Championships. Later, she was drafted to SmackDown, where she gained consistent television time as part of Chelsea Green’s Secret Hervice stable. Still, she was rarely featured as a prominent in-ring competitor and will likely get more opportunities to impress going forward.
