Apollo Crews took to social media today to issue a statement commenting on his departure from WWE. As noted, Crews was among the 20-plus talent who were part of the company’s post-WrestleMania roster cuts on Friday. The veteran posted to Instagram on Sunday morning to comment on his exit, thanking the company for his time there and reflecting on his career.

Crews wrote:

“Thank you, @wwe, for eleven incredible years. Wow. Eleven years. What an incredible journey. I feel blessed to have had a career in WWE that lasted that long. Thanks to everyone who sent me messages or texts. Even if I didn’t reply, just know I’m grateful.

Throughout my career, I was fortunate to suffer only one serious injury that sidelined me for a significant amount of time. I’ve been lucky to experience many amazing moments during my time with WWE. It’s been a fun ride, and I appreciate everyone who supported me along the way.
To everyone I shared the ring with… thank you.

All things come to an end. This is my time.“

The post was commented on by a number of talent including Nattie, Nikki Cross, Lince Dorado and more. Cross, who also exited WWE, wrote:

“dude, you are the best! I will miss our chats about school and life. You always brought such positive vibes.

Can’t wait to see what’s next on your journey. Love to you and your family.”

Crews had been with WWE since 2014 and is a former WWE United States and WWE Intercontinental Champion. He had been working on WWE Main Event as of late.
