Xyon Quinn Says The Comeback Will Surpass the Setback After WWE Release, Superstars Respond

ByThomas LowsonProfessional Wrestling Journalist

Xyon Quinn is ready for the next chapter of his wrestling career which he is confident will surpass the setback of being released by WWE. 

Quinn was among those cut by WWE in the first wave of talent releases following the launch of the promotion\’s new era. Jinder Mahal, Veer Mahaan, Sanga, and Xia Li were also let go by the company as part of what\’s been reported as \’budget cuts.\’

Taking to Instagram, Quinn shared a video of himself recalling his first fight. In the caption, the ex-NXT Superstar made clear that what\’s to come will surpass his WWE release. 

Quinn\’s video caught the attention of WWE Superstars. In the comments, WWE staple Natalya said \”LFG\” (Let\’s F***** Go!) while Shotzi encouraged Quinn to \”Take the world!\” WWE NXT\’s Jakaro Jackson shared her support for Quinn\’s post-WWE endeavors through a series of emojis while Damon Kemp gave a salute to the former Superstar. 

On Twitter, Natalya had the following to say about Quinn.

Quinn is eager to show his worth outside of WWE which seems more possible than ever before thanks to the many promotions out there. As Cody Rhodes, Matt Cardona, and others have shown, parting ways with WWE can often be a blessing in disguise and give wrestlers the opportunity to reinvent themselves on their own terms. For Quinn, he will have to wait out a 90-day non-compete clause before he can appear and compete elsewhere. Quinn is the husband of Harley Cameron who makes appearances for AEW and Ring of Honor. 

Who will advance to the King of the Ring final?
