Quincy Elliott Says WWE Release Leaves Them “With No Rules, Restrictions, Or Handcuffs”

In a recent interview with PWMania, Quincy Elliott shared their perspective on being part of last month’s WWE releases (per Fightful). Elliott explained that while the release was painful, it frees them to pursue a variety of opportunities both personally and creatively that would not have been available as a part of WWE. You can find a few highlights and watch the complete interview below.

On their reaction to the release: “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.”

On their plans for the next steps in their career: “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.”
