Layla El has not been seen on television as of late due to the death of her mother. A friend of Layla updated her MySpace page regarding the situation. She wrote, "Her mother passed away unexpectedly and she's been out of the country dealing with everything."

"I wanted you all to be aware of what is going on and send out as much positive energy and prayer to help her get through this difficult time in her life. The WWE has really helpful and understanding with her taking a little time off right now but she will definitely be back in full force before September."
