Sarah Logan is officially done with WWE—and her quiet departure is raising serious questions about how the company handles women who become mothers.
During a June 2 episode of Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer discussed Logan’s release, confirming her contract wasn’t renewed after giving birth to her second child. Meltzer pointed to a troubling pattern forming under WWE’s TKO regime. Meltzer commented on the situation bluntly:
“She hasn’t been on TV since she got pregnant with the second child, and he was born several months ago. They hadn’t called her back, or she hadn’t asked to come back. So I don’t know what to say about that one. It’s kind of a weird one to me—someone coming back from her pregnancy and then getting fired… It’s not the greatest look.”
Meltzer then made a direct comparison to another name fans haven’t seen in a while.
“Carmella sorta had that, didn’t she? She got pregnant and never came back either. It’s… no one’s really talking about it, but it’s not a good look to do that.”
That conversation gained even more weight when Carmella herself spoke out during a recent Barely Famous interview. After 12 years with WWE, she says the company ghosted her following her maternity leave.
“Why would you want to be somewhere that doesn’t want you?” she said. “It’s like you’re in a relationship and someone is trying to break up with you. ‘No, don’t leave me. I promise.’ No, you’re not wanted in that relationship. It’s not for me, and I truly feel that door is closed.”
While Carmella clarified she’s not shutting the door forever, she made it clear that something has to change—especially when it comes to how wrestling treats mothers.
“I’m not sitting here trying to disparage WWE, but I want to be real honest because it’s 2025, and we still have a long way to go for women and moms and pregnancy and health and all of it. I feel like this conversation needs to be had because I had a baby and now I’m not working, and that sucks. That’s just the reality of the situation.”
She didn’t hold back when explaining how it felt personally.
“I feel like I’m being punished because I had a baby. I wouldn’t change a damn thing. I’m obsessed with my son, and this is my life. I would do it a million times over again, but it’s just the reality of the situation.”
Logan, meanwhile, took a more reflective tone in her farewell message. She didn’t slam the company, but her words revealed a quiet hurt.
“To be completely honest my ego can’t help but be damaged. You always assume that when you end a lifelong career there is going to be a grand exit. But here I am, using the notes app on my phone typing up a goodbye letter to an entity that will forget I was even there.”
While Logan says she’s done with wrestling, it’s hard to ignore the pattern forming around WWE’s treatment of returning mothers. Alexa Bliss reportedly also faced challenges negotiating terms after pregnancy, with WWE attempting to add extra dates to compensate for her leave.
Between Meltzer’s criticism, Carmella’s raw honesty, and Logan’s emotional exit, one thing is clear: fans and insiders alike are starting to question how WWE is handling maternity-related absences under TKO’s leadership.
