Alicia Fox wants to be involved in the wrestling business following the end of her time in WWE.

Fox had a lengthy run in WWE, as she made her main roster debut in 2008 and was featured in a variety of ways until 2019. She has not wrestled since she made a surprise appearance in the 2022 Women’s Royal Rumble. The  former WWE Divas Champion, confirmed the end of her WWE tenure in May, and she stated that she was employable. 

Speaking to Ryback on The Ryback Show, Fox was asked to describe how she’s doing following her release, and she noted that there’s some fear in the process of stepping out on her own. She emphasized that she wants to be part of the industry.

“I’m out of the Easy Bake Oven, WWE that is. I’ve been out for about a month. It was just kind of awkward. It’s this moment to have my name and to put some steam under it has been a dream of mine, but definitely has a lot of fear to it. I’m stepping out and trying to figure out what’s the next right best thing. Just to be a service for the industry. I don’t see myself being back in another oven, but I want to be part of the industry. It’s definitely different out here. Reclaiming my personality is where I’m at. Now that I have my name and I feel I can say my truth, I’m looking forward to seeing what that will look like. I have no idea,” Fox said.

When asked if she’s interested in coaching or working behind the scenes, Fox described how she always had an interest in the production side of wrestling. She stated that she would like to contribute to a company by helping establish an appropriate standard for wrestling. Fox then noted that it can be hard to differentiate between a wrestler’s character on television and their personality on social media or other platforms.

“I always had this interest in being in the TV truck. I always wanted to be like little Kevin Dunn Jr. I think it’d be fun to do producing and directing, the meat and potatoes of the TV aspect. Sometimes, what’s portrayed on TV, I would do my best I could to contribute to a company that wants to help the girls know an appropriate standard; the gear, certain moves where their legs are hard cam, ‘close your legs.’ Little things. That’s with any talent. Just more of the overall development package. There are certain things that I think, social media allows personalities to seep in on our caricature as performers. Sometimes, I think that can be a little misleading for the product. For myself, it was a little difficult to embody my Total Diva character with my wrestling character because one is PG and one is not. In a sense of producing content for a company, I would love to be in some conversations that would help elevate the voices of what real standard TV should be appropriate. Right now, we’re in a very hyper-sexed environment with social media information everywhere. I would love to be able to keep the standards of a company clean and green. High ethical, good quality content,” Fox said.

Fox also stated that she would love to contribute and help others, potentially as a talent or as a coach. She made it clear that she is interested in helping, but she doesn’t see herself wanting to play the politics involved in wrestling.

“When it comes to helping talent in the ring, I would love to contribute as talent, as a coach, I would just love to contribute. I don’t see myself really wanting to play the politics,” Fox said.
