Former UFC fighter Jessamyn Duke was one of six wrestlers released by the WWE on Wednesday. Duke first signed with WWE in 2018 alongside Marina Shafir and started working alongside Shayna Baszler in NXT as three of the Four Horsewomen of MMA, but she stopped competing in matches in late 2019. Outside of a random appearance on Raw Underground in mid-2020 she hadn’t been appearing on WWE television at all, opting instead to help with WWE’s digital team and work on Xavier Woods’ UpUpDownDown YouTube channel.

So everyone understands, @UpUpDwnDwn is a group effort. It isn’t just me. There are so many talented and incredible people involved who give me(you) their time because they are kind and want to show everyone the people they really are. That’s my family.

For those who have asked - @UpUpDwnDwn is owned by WWE and always has been. Hence why we are allowed to stream on that platform. Unfortunately, at this point in time, we are not allowed to be on twitch but hopefully we are given permission at some point. Hope that clears it up!
