Over the last few weeks there have been a number of surprising WWE releases as names like Aleister Black, The Wyatt Sicks and The New Day have all parted ways with the company. Now it seems that another departure has been confirmed.
Francois Prinsloo, who signed with WWE in 2025, announced his departure from the company when he posted the following statement on social media:
“WWE has been nothing but a blessing for me. It has easily been one of the hardest challenges I’ve had to face and yet I wouldn’t have had it any other way. Through this journey I was able to learn a lot about myself, the world and the beautiful people in it.
WWE showed me a world I never knew that I would fall in love with, introduced me to amazing people that I will never forget. It reignited my passion and talent for acting and speaking. WWE also showed me how much further I could push my limits…or rather how much further I want to push them now. It’s opened my eyes to so much more and has inadvertently…made me hungrier.
There’s a long list of people I want to thank, but for now I’ll shorten it. Thank you to the amazing coaches I had the pleasure of working with. Thank you to the medical stuff and their unending diligence to help me through my slew of freakish injuries. Thank you to S&C for getting me in the best shape of my life. Thank you to the great athletes, friends,classmates and opponents I got to meet, wrestle or learn from and finally….Thank YOU, for your support and encouragement ❤️
It’s been fun and hard, but hardest of all is having to accept my journey getting cut short before I could really start 🖤
But I wise man once told me : “the wolf climbing the mountain is always hungrier than the one at the top,” and unfortunately, I’ve been left starving… but we’ll talk more about that later
More life🫡💯🙏🏾
