Desmond Troy, also known as Denzel Dejournette, has been released by WWE.
Troy announced the news on August 6, the same day WWE released several other Superstars during a wave of cuts.
“Life is tough, but it’s about time I got some adversity to see what I’m made of,” wrote Troy. “What a way to start the weekend. Thank you @TripleH and @WWENXT for the opportunity. There’s power in the name and with a name like Denzel Dejournette I can’t and won’t lose!”
