Jazmyn Nyx, the athletic and striking former WWE NXT star, recently made headlines after deciding not to renew her WWE contract, leaving fans wondering what lies ahead for the young competitor. While her chapter with WWE has closed, Nyx remains uncertain about leaving wrestling behind entirely, indicating she is still exploring opportunities within the industry as well as beyond it.
Jazmyn Nyx’s WWE Departure: Turning Down a Lucrative Offer
Jazmyn Nyx, real name Jade Gentile, was part of WWE’s Performance Center Fall Class of 2022 and quickly made an impact in NXT. She rose to prominence as a member of the heel stable Fatal Influence alongside Jacy Jayne and Fallon Henley, impressing audiences with her agility, aggressive style, and a signature jumping Pele kick finisher.
Despite being offered a WWE contract extension—rumored to be increased to just under $100,000 to persuade her to stay—Nyx declined the offer. Sources close to WWE revealed that the decision boiled down to creative and financial control; Nyx wanted more autonomy over her brand and career direction than WWE was willing to give. WWE wrote her off TV following this decision, symbolically ending her run in the company[1][3][7].
A WWE insider shared, “Jazmyn showed great promise, but the offer didn’t align with her expectations for growth or earnings. She wanted to build her brand her own way, which WWE’s structure couldn’t fully support at this time.”
Exploring New Directions: Wrestling, Reality TV, and Social Media
In an in-depth interview on The Ariel Helwani Show, Nyx expressed openness to continuing her wrestling career but emphasized that she was currently weighing all her options carefully. She acknowledged that while she hadn’t yet spoken to other wrestling promotions, she remains interested in training, learning, and possibly taking dates on the independent circuit if the right opportunities arise[2][6].
Nyx also revealed a keen interest in reality television, a world she has flirted with before and that suits her outgoing personality. She summarized her mindset: “I think I want to do both. I want to go do these shows if it presents itself… but I want to continue doing wrestling opportunities if they come my way.” She highlighted a desire for creative freedom, balancing her social media influencer work with potential wrestling bookings[2].
Supporting this new venture, Nyx has begun positioning herself as a digital influencer and fitness personality, sharing content like her participation in the “Reality Games combine”—a fitness and gaming crossover event—and promoting sports betting apps to her growing fanbase on Instagram[3].
Athleticism and Drive: From Soccer to the Squared Circle
Before WWE, Nyx had no prior independent wrestling experience, having transitioned from a professional soccer career in Poland directly into WWE’s Performance Center after a tryout in 2022[4]. This unique background shaped her as a powerful, athletic wrestler who quickly earned respect on NXT’s mid-card scene.
Her time in Fatal Influence delivered memorable moments and established her as a reliable heel competitor within NXT’s women’s division. Though written off after a backstage attack storyline and eventual expulsion from the group, Nyx’s in-ring work, including a televised singles victory over Thea Hail, proved her potential[4].
A Fan-Favorite with a Promising Future
Though seemingly at a crossroads, insiders suggest Nyx’s talent and charisma will keep her in demand. “Jazmyn is young, smart, and knows how to engage fans,” said a wrestling industry source. “If she chooses to return to wrestling, especially on the indie scene or with another promotion, she’ll be welcomed. Plus, her reality TV and influencer ventures can only enhance her wrestling brand.”
She plans to keep training and evolving her craft, underscoring a long-term vision to seize diverse opportunities in entertainment, wrestling, and digital media.
