As we’ve been reporting here on eWn, WWE released five talents from its roster on Friday – Xyon Quinn, Jinder Mahal, Xia Li, Veer Mahaan, and Sanga.
Quinn has now released a vignette addressing his departure from WWE.
The former WWE NXT Superstar posted a video to his Instagram account, saying,
“I remember my first fight. The way it felt. The way I hurt his heart beat faster and faster, his eyes so wide. I never felt so powerful. So alive. When he begged me to stop, I remember that… I just snapped. That happened sometimes. I try to control it, but I guess I’m a little unpredictable, unhinged, you might say, I’m a ghost. Boo.”
Quinn, who is now just going by Xyon, has a 90-day non-compete clause.
He captioned the post with the following,
“The comeback is always greater than the setback.
90 days.

WWE Releases Xyon Quinn and Four Other Talents from Roster
In a recent development, WWE has released five talents from its roster, including Xyon Quinn, Jinder Mahal, Xia Li, Veer Mahaan, and Sanga. This news has left fans and wrestling enthusiasts surprised and curious about the reasons behind these releases.
Xyon Quinn, formerly known as a WWE NXT Superstar, has now addressed his departure from the company through a vignette posted on his Instagram account. In the video, Quinn reflects on his first fight and the rush of power he felt. He describes himself as unpredictable and unhinged, referring to himself as a ghost. The cryptic message has left fans speculating about his future endeavors in the wrestling industry.
It is worth noting that Xyon Quinn will be subject to a 90-day non-compete clause, which means he cannot compete in any other wrestling promotion during this period. This clause is a standard practice in the industry to prevent released talents from immediately joining rival companies.
Meanwhile, in other wrestling news, WWE NIL athlete Mason Parris has achieved a significant milestone by qualifying for the 2024 Olympics. Parris, who signed with the WWE NIL program in December 2021, has secured a spot in this year’s Summer Olympics in heavyweight wrestling.
The news was announced on Twitter, with Team USA congratulating Parris on his qualification. Parris emerged victorious in the men’s freestyle 125kg category at the Wrestling Trials, earning him a place in the prestigious event. This accomplishment showcases the talent and potential of athletes associated with the WWE NIL program.
The WWE NIL program, which stands for Name, Image, Likeness, was introduced by WWE to provide opportunities for college athletes to pursue professional wrestling careers while still in school. It allows them to train and compete in WWE’s developmental system while maintaining their collegiate eligibility.
Mason Parris’ qualification for the Olympics highlights the success of the WWE NIL program in nurturing and developing talented athletes. It also demonstrates WWE’s commitment to supporting and promoting athletes from various backgrounds and sports.
As wrestling fans eagerly await Xyon Quinn’s next move and cheer for Mason Parris in the upcoming Olympics, these recent developments in the wrestling world continue to keep the industry buzzing with excitement and anticipation.
