I will be looking to take on work closer to where I live so that I don&#8217;t have to be on the road weekly away from him. He truly needs me, and I need this time with him. I ask that you please continue prayers for my father and my family. It has been a magical 15-year career at WWE, and WWE Universe, I can&#8217;t thank you enough for all your love and support!&#8221; Read her full statement at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/BIlIioShw7g\/\" target=\"_blank\">Instagram.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Powell&#8217;s POV:<\/strong><\/span> I applaud Lilian for making the decision to put family first.
