"It’s heartbreaking" - 29-year-old star on AEW departure after 4 years

29-year-old star has opened up about their departure from AEW after a four-year tenure. The star in question is none other than Sonny Kiss.

Kiss made headlines when she signed with AEW shortly after the company's inception in 2019. Sonny Kiss was a popular figure on the roster and were known for their great performances.

Kiss last appeared in an AEW ring in July of this year, when she participated in an ROH on HonorClub taping. However, it was recently reported that Sonny Kiss was no longer a part of All Elite Wrestling, as her contract with the company had expired and was not renewed.

In a recent interview on Busted Open Radio, Sonny Kiss discussed her departure from Tony Khan's promotion.

“Definitely a question that a lot of people asked, like, ‘Where is Sonny? Where is Sonny?’ I understand. It hurt to go places and they was always the question they was asked. Like I would be in a super market or at training, whatever, and it’s just like, ‘We don’t see you," Kiss said.

Furthermore, Kiss said leaving the promotion was like a heartbreak, and shared that it has been a challenging time:

“But I’m feeling, it’s like a heartbreak. It’s been a little rough because this was everything I’ve always wanted to do, it’s a dream. I’ve worked so very hard, I worked tirelessly for this not to happen. Dustin Rhodes, who’s been my mentor and trainer, he’s a trainer for all the women at AEW, and every single time I got sent to TV, I was there hours, hours before doors open, I worked my ass off every single week to make sure this didn’t happen. So yeah it’s heartbreaking.” (H/T - TJRWrestling)

It remains to be seen where Sonny Kiss will end up next, but not re-signing her by All Elite Wreslting could be a significant loss for the company.
