1st time
Former NXT Diva
Shaul Guerrero has opened up about her battle with an eating disorder in a new interview with
Headlocks2Headlines.
She revealed details on her WWE departure in 2012, linking it to the image-heavy nature of the wrestling business:
“Actually, I went into rehab for an eating disorder. I was really close to
Joey Mercury when I was in FCW, he was my mentor/coach. He, along with the strength and conditioning coach, noticed that I was really sick and I was just not mentally okay and physically doing a really bad job of doing what I needed to do and they finally convinced me to go into rehab for a long time disease I had. I took two months off and stayed in an (rehab) facility and from then on, I didn’t know how to come back to wrestling and still keep my recovery intact because this business is very much based on how you look. I was just not ready for that kind of challenge so I took a whole year off and really focused on myself and really needed to get health mentality, emotionally and spiritually.”
2nd time
WWE
NXT Diva
Raquel Diaz (aka
Shaul Guerrero) was released from WWE earlier this week. Because she was just recently paired up with
Baron Corbin as part of a gimmick makeover, it’s being said that there were no definitive plans to release her from the company. Basically, her release was likely an impulse move made by the company.
It’s worth noting that Diaz had a reputation of not taking training seriously and was also someone who would consistently request time off. Additionally, she actually quit the company during her initial run, but eventually opted to make a return.
As of right now there is no word as to whether or not Corbin will continue to work under his new biker persona, a gimmick that Diaz was originally planned to be a part of.
