Francois Prinsloo Announces WWE Departure

WWE developmental talent Francois Prinsloo recently announced on Instagram that he has departed from WWE.

WWE has been nothing but a blessing for me. It has easily been one of the hardest challenges I’ve had to face and yet I wouldn’t have had it any other way. Through this journey I was able to learn a lot about myself, the world and the beautiful people in it.

WWE showed me a world I never knew that I would fall in love with, introduced me to amazing people that I will never forget. It reignited my passion and talent for acting and speaking. WWE also showed me how much further I could push my limits…or rather how much further I want to push them now. It’s opened my eyes to so much more and has inadvertently…made me hungrier.

There’s a long list of people I want to thank, but for now I’ll shorten it. Thank you to the amazing coaches I had the pleasure of working with.Thank you to the medical stuff and their unending diligence to help me through my slew of freakish injuries. Thank you to S&C for getting me in the best shape of my life. Thank you to the great athletes, friends,classmates and opponents I got to meet, wrestle or learn from and finally….Thank YOU, for your support and encouragement ❤️

It’s been fun and hard, but hardest of all is having to accept my journey getting cut short before I could really start 🖤

But I wise man once told me : “the wolf climbing the mountain is always hungrier than the one at the top,” and unfortunately, I’ve been left starving… but we’ll talk more about that later

More life🫡💯🙏🏾
