Ever since the, she has taken up some non-performing roles with the company. But apparently, her WWE contract isn’t over till June 2022.

This does not mean that she’s getting in the ring tomorrow but, inside her head, she’s ready and has made up her mind. She said her return will totally be a surprise, though she’ll depart from the company once her contract expires next year. She made her mindset official be dropping a tweet the next day.
