Quincy Elliott is going to be the star they always wanted to be.
Former WWE star Quincy Elliott recently participated in an exclusive interview with PWMania.com’s Scott Mitchell. Elliott says they learned a lot in their time with the promotion, including how to always bet on themselves.
“I learned to always bet on yourself. When I first got to the Performance Center, I was just a no-name indie wrestler that WWE saw something in. When I started training at the Performance Center, I realized that not that this journey’s easy, but I made it happen, and if I wanted to become successful, I had to stand out. The Performance Center really taught me to believe in myself and have confidence.”
Elliott was released by WWE in September. They told Mitchell about the reaction to getting future endeavored, as well as their next moves in wrestling.
“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.”
What’s next?
Does Quincy have any future goals or opponents in mind?
“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.”
Quincy Elliott made their in-ring debut for NXT in March 2022 on NXT Level Up. Elliott made a handful of appearances on NXT and Level Up before going on a months-long hiatus.
Elliott said they were medically cleared to wrestle in December 2022, but did not share the reason for the hiatus. Elliott’s last televised match in WWE was a tag team loss with Jiro to Hank Walker and Tank Ledger on the July 21 episode of NXT Level Up.
