Sat May 03 14:40:00 UTC 2025: ## WWE Releases NXT Star Dani Palmer Amidst Recent Roster Cuts

**Orlando, FL** – WWE announced the release of NXT talent Dani Palmer (real name AJ Amrhein) today. Palmer confirmed the news on Instagram, expressing bittersweet feelings about ending her athletic career with the company after three years. She cited multiple injuries throughout her tenure, which saw her primarily featured on NXT Level Up and EVOLVE. Palmer also expressed excitement about pursuing her business ventures.

Palmer’s departure is one of several recent WWE releases affecting both NXT and main roster talent. Other notable names let go include Dakota Kai, Braun Strowman, Shayna Baszler, and several others.

While with WWE, Palmer generated controversy in October 2024 with a statement suggesting Hurricane Milton was artificially targeted at Republican-leaning states – a claim lacking scientific basis.

Palmer’s release comes at a time of significant roster changes within WWE, highlighting the ongoing reshaping of the company’s talent landscape.
