A former WWE NXT star has withdrawn from a scheduled show in Israel following social media backlash.
Priscilla Kelly, formerly known as Gigi Dolin in NXT, has withdrawn from a wrestling event scheduled to take place in Israel. Kelly was announced for IPWA’s Passover Bash on April 6, but soon after the booking was publicised, she issued a statement saying she would no longer appear. In her message, Kelly said she did not want her involvement to be interpreted as support for ongoing political circumstances.
“I have made the decision to not travel to Israel for the show that was announced earlier,” Kelly wrote. “My intention was never to make a political statement… I do not want to be a part of this any further or give the idea that I condone the actions of the government in any way.”
After issuing this statement on Twitter, Kelly has since deactivated her account.
Kelly was released by WWE as part of the roster cuts on May 2, 2025, after a four-year run that included two NXT Women’s Tag Team Title reigns alongside Jacy Jayne as part of Toxic Attraction. She has since competed for GCW and briefly returned to MLW in late 2025.
