Kay Lee Ray has shared her candid thoughts on her roles within WWE as Alba Fyre, particularly prior to her departure from the company. While Kay Lee Ray experienced a dominant period in WWE, notably holding the NXT UK Women's Championship for 649 recognized days, her singles success did not translate to the same level on the main WWE roster.
\nThe majority of Kay Lee Ray's main roster run saw her involved in tag team capacities. This included her partnership with Isla Dawn as the Unholy Union, and her involvement with Chelsea Green's faction, the Secret Hervice. Speaking with the Daily Star, Kay Lee Ray stated that she viewed her time in WWE akin to being an actor on a TV show playing a role.
\nPerspective on Singles Opportunities and Character Roles
\nWhen asked if she was frustrated about the lack of singles opportunities on the main roster, Ray responded that she had been a singles competitor for a long time, and it was a positive experience to engage in tag-team work with Isla Dawn.
\n\n\nNo, I’ve been singles for a long time, so it was good to get into some tag-team stuff with Isla. We had a good feud as well, I think we worked really well together.
\n
Ray elaborated on her experience working with Isla Dawn, noting that she enjoyed their feud, which subsequently transitioned into their tag-team endeavors.
\n\n\nI enjoyed the feud we had together, then that came into the tag-team stuff. It’s just another character for me to play, I’m always going to try to do that to my best ability.
\n
Ray indicated that her ability to adapt to different roles, from a hard-hitting competitor to a character involved in more lighthearted segments, stemmed from this mindset. She also commented on her involvement with the Secret Hervice, stating that while it might not have been her first choice, she found enjoyment in the experience.
\n\n\nSame with the Secret Hervice stuff, it wouldn’t have been my go-to, but I had a lot of fun doing that.
\n
Kay Lee Ray's mindset is seen as an explanation for her capacity to step into any role the company required, from a tough brawler to a comedy character. While some stars can be entertaining in less serious roles, the article suggests that WWE could benefit from increased vertical movement for wrestlers who demonstrate comedic talent, allowing them greater opportunities to reach main event spots.
