As reported late last night here on the website, Serena has indeed been released from World Wrestling Entertainment.

While specific details surrounding her abrupt departure from the organization have yet to be disclosed, it is said that she was let go in a disciplinary measure. According to one source, she was not "living out" her Straight Edge Society persona in public. Really. It should be noted that paparazzi photos of Serena out in Hollywood walking to a nightclub recently surfaced online.

The decision to cut the six-time Ohio Valley Wrestling Women's Champion was actually made a few days ago, but word had not surfaced until Monday night.

It would appear that an official announcement has not yet been made by WWE as she's due to make an appearance on this week's edition of Friday Night SmackDown!, which was taped last Wednesday. She accompanies Luke Gallows to the ring for a match against Big Show.

Serena's sudden release from World Wrestling Entertainment is being compared to Mickie James' dismissal from the organization earlier this year as both involved matters concerning behavioral problems on the road.

Serena had been warned several times by management to tighten up her road behavior as she was putting her job at risk. It ultimately reached a point where WWE had no choice but to let her go, just as a big push was planned no less.

It is said that the episode of SmackDown in which Serena was caught drinking alcohol at a bar was designed to send a message to her. An irate CM Punk immediately chastised her following the airing of the video, but she was forgiven the following week. Luke Gallows, however, refused to follow suit and walked out on his fellow Straight Edge Society members.

News of her departure from WWE is being kept under wraps internally, but an announcement is expected to be made this weekend
