Former WWE Diva Katie Lea Burchill (Katarina Waters) says she wasn't surprised when WWE released her in April. In her first public interview since being released, Waters told that she had the typical feelings of disappointment and relief when she learned of WWE's decision to cut her.

"I wasn't surprised, really. I was kind of sitting on my hands sort of going nowhere," Waters told Diva-Dirt in the exclusive interview. "When you get released, part of you is obviously disappointed when there are certain things you want to achieve. But, part of me was also relieved because I was starting to feel somewhat redundant. It was definitely time for me to move on."

Waters was also asked whether there's a pattern with the number of Divas released this year, including Maria, Mickie James, and now Serena. "It's something that you can't always point your finger on why that happens. I speculate on my own, but you can't get caught up too much because you don't always know what happened (in each case)."

Waters was back in the news this week after receiving a try-out match for TNA at Monday's Impact TV taping in Orlando. Waters said she felt she had a good match with Madison Rayne, but said she doesn't know what her future will be.

"Well, I don't know," she said when asked if she'll sign with TNA. "At this point, we'll just have to wait and see. I'm up for it, shall we say."

Waters also covered topics on being a manager when she wasn't utilized by WWE, working with Paul Burchill, and the proposed incest angle with Paul that never took off.

Regarding working with Paul, she said, "Paul was great. I really enjoyed working with him. From our time in OVW, it was something I suggested they put us together."

That led into a discussion of the proposed incest angle with Paul and why she believes it may have been a good thing it didn't take off. Also, why she felt WWE management nixed the idea.

"I was up for it, initially. I thought it could have been a really cool thing with an ambiguous relationship. It's very implied and you never see anything happen," she said. "On the other hand, it could have obviously gone horribly, disastrously, grotesquely wrong. On the other hand, it might not have gone the way we wanted it to," she said. "I think they basically scrapped it due to the whole PG scenario. They didn't want to go that route."
