On September 21, Quincy Elliott was part of the releases made by WWE.
Elliott had last wrestled on the July 21 episode of NXT Level Up, teaming with Ikemen Jiro in a loss to Hank Walker & Tank Ledger. During their run, Elliott most notably hosted NXT Halloween Havoc 2022 alongside Shotzi.
Speaking to PWMania, Elliott commented on being released.
"To be honest with you, I sat through so many releases, it wasn’t something that shocked me by any means. It’s not something that necessarily hurts. It hurt because it was a dream of mine, but in the moment I felt like let me make moves and become an even bigger star than I was when I was in the WWE. I took it more as a shot on the chin, and I’m not the one who just dwells on things. I’m appreciative I got to show the world myself, but now I get to show the world myself with no rules, restrictions, or handcuffs. I now get to be the Quincy I always wanted to be," said Elliott.
When asked what was next, Elliott replied, “There’s plenty of things I want to do. I won’t say them all, because I want the world to be shocked. But, I want to do more than just wrestling. I’m a very creative individual, I like to create art, and you’ll get to see me in everything I want to do, whether that’s making films or music. As far as wrestling goes, there’s a lot I’d like to do in the Indies. I feel like the indies are missing that spark that they had prior to WWE and AEW doing their thing. I feel like right now I’m in a position where people can use me, and I can try to get the most buzz that I can. Honestly, I’d love to perform overseas, that’s something I never got to do.”
Elliott signed with WWE in 2021, making their in-ring debut on the March 25 episode of NXT Level Up against Joe Gacy.
It is unknown what is next for Elliott in wrestling.
