Alicia Fox Reveals Why She Was Relieved Following Her WWE Departure

Alicia Fox exited WWE earlier this year after 17 years with the company in various roles, leaving the organisation when her contract expired in April 2023. Fox was largely inactive during her final years with the company, although she has since returned to pro wrestling as Vix Crow in Booker T's Reality of Wrestling promotion as she confronted Promise Braxton at Summer of Champions on July 15.

Speaking with MuscleManMalcolm, Fox revealed why she felt relieved following her WWE exit.

"I was like, okay (when I received word that my time with WWE was ending). I think I honestly... I was relieved, and still relieving completely. I think the difference between myself and like, another person is a chunk of 17 consecutive years. It has nothing to do with the particular company... I'm still processing a consecutive 17 years. But, the other afterburn that happens like, man, well at 17, what else would you think this was? What else did you think? These are really your family members, these are people you're going to grow with and you never, still, any time in your career know if you're gonna get the boot, whatever. So then I think that's the relief that's lifted is that burden of my body not being perfect is constantly still evaporating," Fox stated.

"Every day, I feel lighter and lighter in my heart, in my soul. Every day, I wake up and I can't wait to lift myself up to bring myself back down to paradise. I swear to God. It's bizarre. It's bizarre only because in that lifestyle, if you're conditioned to just go, be perfect, be the champion, I don't know and this ain't anybody else's words but mine, but if that was my driving desire, that got to a point where I didn't find my life interesting. It was bleak. So it's like, don't take this stuff home but, our life is so entangled with the way we just get ready for our every day that if I'm not leaving for the airport, I'm leaving to go to Publix... I had to develop a way to come out of the character and I'm saying so far out there. But how do you escape crazy?"

Fox ended her 17-year association with WWE as a former Divas Champion and a former 24/7 Champion.
