Why was Sara Lee released from WWE?
It was reported that the winner of the female Tough Enough was released from her developmental contract with the WWE. The contract was a $250,000 contract. While it was initially believed that it was due to the fact that she announced on Facebook that she was pregnant with her boyfriend Wesley Blake, it appears that that was not the case.
PWInsider reports that the true reason she was let go was not due to her pregnancy but simply because of the fact that she was not progressing in the ring. This just further proves the “curse” of Tough Enough.
It appears that the only people who have ever made a successful career from Tough Enough are John Morrison and now-Former Intercontinental Champion The Miz.
