Xyon Quinn On WWE Release
Xyon Quinn previously commented on his WWE release. In a post on Instagram, he said that the comeback would be greater than the setback. He also cut a promo and looked forward to the future.
“I remember my first fight,” Xyon Quinn said. “The way it felt, the way I heard his heart beat fast and fast. His eyes so wide. I never felt so powerful, so alive. When he begged me to stop, I don’t remember that. By the way, that’s a lovely dress. I just snapped. That happens sometimes. I try to control it, but I guess I’m a little unpredictable, unhinged. Untamed. A ghost. [Laughs]”
