A dozen wrestlers were released last week during SmackDown, which included “The Latina Sensation” Mercedes Martinez from NXT. She has finally broken her silence on the matter after initially keeping a low profile.

She took to Twitter to express her gratitude towards the company and Triple H for giving her the opportunity. Martinez bid farewell to the WWE universe but promised that she isn’t done yet.
