WWE has confirmed the departure of talented wrestler Dani Palmer, who shared the news on social media alongside her boyfriend, current NXT Tag champ Tank Ledger. The 15-year-old Baylor University alumna and former national champion in tumbling and acrobatics announced that she will be wrapping up her professional wrestling career due to injury.
Palmer has been open about dealing with injuries since joining WWE in 2022, including a double hip surgery that kept her out for most of last year. Her last matches were taped back in February on Evolve. With this announcement, Palmer is also expected to close the chapter on more than just her wrestling career, as she plans to revive her business.
The Cageside community has offered their support to Palmer and 14 other wrestlers who lost their jobs with WWE due to contract expirations or releases.
