A recent Gigi Dolin social media post sparked concern throughout the wrestling world after the former WWE NXT star, known as Kelly, shared a troubling message and then removed it. The post, which highlighted her ongoing struggles, caused an outpouring of support and alarm from fans and figures connected to wrestling.
Fans React to Deleted Message from Kelly
Earlier this week, Kelly posted a message on her social platform that quickly caught attention for its distressing content, before being taken down. The original message read:
Maybe I should just kms? Don’t worry I’ll be face down ass up in the casket for you guys.
—Kelly, Former WWE NXT Talent
This unsettling statement prompted immediate concern and widespread discussion among wrestling fans, highlighting the mental and emotional challenges faced by public figures in the wrestling industry.
Kelly Explains Intent Behind Her Words
Shortly after deleting the initial post, Kelly addressed her audience again with a follow-up intended to clarify her state of mind and express her intentions. She wrote:
I tweeted out of hurt. I was being dark and sarcastic, not literal—but I understand it landed heavy.
Getting mocked and sexualized when you’re trying to rebuild something you love breaks a piece of you.
I’m not broken. But I’m also not bulletproof.
Like most of you, I’m doing the best I can and my top priority right now is being creative, improving every day and having fun in wrestling again.
—Kelly, Former WWE NXT Talent
Though Kelly attempted to reassure her supporters, the follow-up was also eventually removed. The sequence of posts underscored the pressures that performers like Kelly experience, particularly after challenging career events.

Her recent online statements signal the difficulties of rebuilding in the public eye and the impact of both criticism and support from the broader wrestling community. As Kelly strives to move forward, many have encouraged open discussion around mental health challenges in professional wrestling.
