WWE fans haven’t heard much from Aliyah after she was released from her contract in September 2023. Her non-compete clause is up, and now she is free to take her own bookings. Although this new date on her schedule isn’t a match, it is definitely pro wrestling adjacent.
Aliyah’s Upcoming Gig After WWE Release
Although some talent who were on WWE’s September releases have found a new home in pro wrestling, Aliyah hasn’t made that announcement yet. She is excited about an upcoming gig that she has at a pro wrestling nightclub.
Aliyah took to Instagram, and she shared an update on her life. In a video post, the former WWE Superstar, who is now going as Nhooph, informed her followers about an upcoming event at a ‘Wrestling Nightclub’ in Toronto scheduled for January 26th.
Have you been to a wrestling nightclub before? I’m Nhooph, formerly known as WWE star Aliyah and on January 26th in Toronto, I will be special guest DJing at the Wrestling Nightclub. They’re gonna be having special shots, like this Bloodline drink and we will be playing all of your favorite wrestling theme songs.

Aliyah’s WWE Journey
Aliyah dedicated over half a decade of effort in NXT to earn a spot on the WWE main roster. She was even a featured face on the OG WWE Network docuseries Breaking Ground, one that chronicled her start with the company.
She eventually got a main roster call-up, even secured a record-setting pinfall as a singles star. Things were looking up for her during a time, but the company never really got behind her with their booking.
The 29-year-old achieved recognition in the company by winning the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship alongside Raquel Rodriguez in August 2022. Sadly, Aliyah suffered an injury shortly after, resulting in an extended period of inactivity.
In September 2023, she was released from the company without making a single television appearance throughout the year.
