Daffney Confirms TNA Release - Files A Lawsuit

Daffney issued a statement today on her Twitter account concerning her status with TNA Wrestling and she confirms that she has parted ways with the organization. Her contract expires today and company officials opted not to renew it. The "Scream Queen" claims she is unsure if her contract not being renewed is tied to her filing a workers' compensation claim against the organization due to injuries she sustained working for them.

"Yesterday my picture was taken down off of the TNA roster page. My contract expires today and TNA did not renew it," she wrote. "I do not know if it has anything to do with it, but I've made a Worker's Comp claim against them due to injuries I've sustained in the ring and my lawyers said to not go into anymore details."

At the April 20, 2010 iMPACT! taping, Daffney was injured during a dark match against a novice performer, Miss Betsy (a/k/a Rosie Lottalove). She was taken to a hospital, where she was diagnosed with a deeply bruised sternum, a severe stinger and a concussion. Daffney made her return to TNA at the June 14 Xplosion taping, but would not resurface again until the December 9 episode of iMPACT!. This marked her final appearance for TNA.
