Laith, real name Kimberly Frankele, won two matches in the Mae Young Classic before being eliminated by Mercedes Martinez. While her NXT contributions are limited she did compete in a few battle Royals to earn a shot at the NXT Women’s Championship.
Despite her limited run, Laith looks to have collected supporters, all of whom thought her release was premature.
Abbey Laith released. I’m crushed. I feel like they never gave her a chance.

I mean, @AbbeyLaithWWE was and forever will be the queen of the indies and she will dominate wherever she winds up but I wanted to see her win that NXT belt so bad.

Frankele has been wrestling professional wrestling since 2011. Her tour of the independent circuit saw her endear herself to wrestling purest fans. At just 27, we’re willing to bet she’s far from done.
