WWE developmental talent Francois Prinsloo has announced his release from WWE, sharing an emotional statement reflecting on his short time with the company. Prinsloo described WWE as “nothing but a blessing,” thanked the coaches, medical staff and fellow talent who supported him through multiple injuries, and admitted it was difficult seeing his journey end before it truly began.
The 24-year-old South African athlete also hinted at future plans, saying the experience left him “hungrier” moving forward. Before signing with WWE in 2025, Prinsloo represented South Africa in discus throw and competed at the 2024 Paris Olympics.
Kam Hendrix has admitted he fears being released from WWE, saying he constantly feels pressure to evolve and prove himself on the NXT roster. Speaking in a WWE preview clip for the latest season of WWE LFG, Hendrix said he knows “anyone can be cut for any reason” and described WWE as an environment where nothing is guaranteed.
The 29-year-old, who signed with WWE in 2024 after a football career, has become a regular face on WWE NXT in recent months. Hendrix also suggested concerns among developmental talent have increased following Drake Morreaux being sent to AAA rather than receiving an NXT promotion.
Will Ospreay says he takes pride in building his career without ever going through WWE. Speaking with Forbes, Ospreay reflected on his rise from the UK independent scene to become one of AEW’s top stars, saying he hopes his journey inspires other British wrestlers to succeed without compromising their goals.
Ospreay said he is proud he “stuck to his guns” throughout his career and added that he wants the responsibility of being a dependable main event star and world champion. The former IWGP World Heavyweight Champion recently returned from neck surgery and is currently involved in a storyline feud with The Death Riders in AEW.
