Recently signed WWE star addresses rumors of frustration; hasn't wrestled in 5 weeks

A popular WWE Superstar recently took to social media to address their current absence from television. The star in question is NXT's Zaria.

The real-life Darria Hodder joined World Wrestling Entertainment in October 2024 and started performing for the company's developmental brand NXT. In her debut match, Zaria defeated Brinley Reece and went on to face some of the most popular names on the black and silver brand, including Stephanie Vaquer and Giulia.

However, the star last competed on WWE television on the December 20, 2024, episode of NXT, where she teamed up with Shozti and Gigi Dolin in a losing effort against Fatal Influence. Since then, the former RCW Champion hasn't been seen on TV.

Amid her absence from NXT, rumors started circling on social media that the star was not showing up due to her frustrations with the creative team. However, Zaria recently took to X (fka Twitter) to address those rumors.

The developmental star stated that she took a step back from in-ring competition to take care of some personal life stuff. The star also mentioned that she has a whole career ahead of her and a five-week absence from WWE TV is not going to hurt it.

"Y’all are funny. Life happens and you have to take a step back for a bit. I’ve got a whole career ahead of me, 5 weeks isn’t gonna hurt. Have patience little ones. And remember, I see all," she wrote.
