Sarah Rowe, also known to WWE audiences as Valhalla, disclosed on June 2, 2025, that her association with WWE is coming to an end. Through an Instagram post, Rowe shared that the company informed her the previous day that her current contract would not be renewed.
In a poignant letter addressed to “Dear wrestling,” Rowe conveyed her emotions regarding the unexpected conclusion to her WWE career, acknowledging a damaged ego but expressing trust in a “Divine timeline.” She indicated a shift in focus towards her family life and personal identity beyond being a “superstar.”
Rowe’s complete statement is as follows:
“Dear wrestling,
I come to you with tears in my eyes cause our time has come to a sudden end. WWE informed me yesterday that they are letting my contract expire. 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. I truly take no offense to this, my career as it was is getting usurped by my vocation and it’s all on a Divine timeline that I I trust deeply.
I’ll definitely miss you but know I’ll be taken care of by my wonderful husband, by the land you provided for me and alongside the children I’ve made along the way. I’m going to take off the weight of being a superstar and let myself soar being just Sarah. She’s been growing on me and it’s time I let her fully cultivate. I love all the people you’ve brought into my life but my social media page won’t be about you anymore. It will share only the parts of me that I wish and none of that will be wrestling.
I’m more of a clean break kinda girl and the other calls to me will be taking my full attention.
With all my love,
Sarah.”
Rowe emphasized her intention to make a “clean break,” with her social media presence no longer centered on wrestling as she dedicates her full attention to other aspects of her life.
This announcement of Sarah Rowe’s contract expiring occurs shortly after WWE also did not renew the contracts of veteran performers R-Truth and Carlito on June 1, 2025, indicating a period of ongoing adjustments to the company’s talent roster.
