WWE Released Coach Reflects On Time With Company “I Feel I Was Brought To Florida And Left To Die”

Well that’s a brutal thought.

Allison Danger signed with the WWE in October 2021 as a coach. Steve Corino is Danger’s brother, and a former pro wrestler herself. In January of this year, the WWE would release her from her contract.

Speaking to Renee Paquette on The Sessions, Danger reflected on her WWE release.

“It came out of nowhere for all of us. Some of the coaches who got let go were still in the Performance Center working with people. We got it right at the end of open ring. We have scheduled classes and then open ring where people can come and meet with coaches. I normally did a lot of the open rings with (Timothy) Thatcher, (Danny) Burch, (Ace) Steele. For me, the more I could be there, the better. I had slipped out after the first open ring. I talked to Burch and was like, ‘I hate leaving early. It’s my kid’s first day at this brand new school in Orlando.’ They had never rode the bus before because KG [her child] went to a charter school in Vegas. Never rode the bus, I’m nervous they are going to get off in the wrong neighborhood. I was like, ‘Do we have enough coaches?’ ‘Yeah, we have enough coaches to get by, just go take care of your kid.’ I was picking KG up and we were going to have a special dinner to celebrate the first day of a new school. The phone rings, ‘Hey coach, where are you?’ ‘I just got my kid at the bus stop, do you need me to come back to the ring? I can be back in 20 (minutes).’ ‘No, we’re calling with bad news.’ ‘Is everything okay?’ ‘We just got word that they are going to restructure the Performance Center and we have to let go of eight of you. Unfortunately, they’re not going to let us continue with your contract,'”

It has been a hard time for coaches who worked for the WWE, as several were released in January along with Danger. Time will tell how the restructuring will effect talent coming through the WWE PC.
