46-year-old star responds to claim she got fired from AEW for trying to poach talent to WWE

A 46-year-old wrestling personality was recently accused by a social media user of having tried to convince AEW performers to jump ship to WWE. The star in question, Sarah Stock, has now disputed the claim.

The Canadian began her journey inside the squared circle back in 2002. Over the next several years, Stock performed across a variety of promotions, including AAA, Shimmer, CMLL and TNA. She also wrestled for JDStar and World Wonder Ring Stardom in Japan. Sarah was introduced as one of AEW's new coaches and producers back in 2023 - however, she was released by the Tony Khan-led promotion this past April.

Stock recently made headlines when she voiced her criticism of a brutal spot from Jon Moxley's "I Quit" match against Darby Allin' at WrestleDream 2025, in which the former AEW World Champion forcefully dipped the face-painted star's head in an aquarium full of water in a bid to weaken the latter. The 46-year-old personality subsequently found herself embroiled in a series of quarrels with dissenting voices on social media, which somehow led to her at one point defending former WWE chairman Vince McMahon in spite of the numerous allegations against him.

Stock recently took to X/Twitter to clarify her past job title from when she worked in AEW. When a user claimed that she was fired by the company for encouraging its talent to cross over to WWE, Sarah fired back against the accusation, writing:

Did The Rock's "Final Boss" run hurt WWE? Watch Here!

"If you haven't learned that you're replicating the pattern of conformity, you may find yourself stuck in the loop forever."

A WWE legend also reacted to Jon Moxley's spot at AEW WrestleDream

While Sarah Stock had explicitly expressed her disapproval of Jon Moxley dunking Darby Allin's head under water during their "I Quit" match at AEW WrestleDream 2025, WWE legend Matt Hardy was less severe in his assessment of the spot. He addressed it on a recent edition of his Extreme Life podcast, insisting that while the spot was not the best one he had seen on television, it was no more problematic than many other similarly violent spots that have been performed across different promotions.

"I saw the spot and by no means do I think that this is the worst thing that [All Elite Wrestling] has ever done... Sure it’s not the greatest thing I’ve seen on TV but I mean you can say that from TNA, you can say that from WWE. There’s been incidents that have happened across all these places where there’s been controversial things that kids should not try at home," said Matt. [H/T WrestleTalk]

It remains to be seen what lies next in Darby's ongoing blood-feud with Mox on All Elite programming.
