Luca Crusifino isn’t heading to another promotion after his WWE release — he’s stepping away from wrestling completely.
After being part of WWE’s recent round of cuts, Crusifino posted a statement on Monday confirming that his wrestling career is officially over. Instead of teasing a comeback somewhere else, he made it clear he’s closing the book on the business after four years. He explained that the decision came after taking time to think about his future.
“After much reflection, I’ve decided it’s time to close this chapter of my life.”
Crusifino also reflected on what his time in WWE meant to him, calling it a lifelong dream that became reality.
“Being a part of the WWE has been a dream ever since I was a child. Getting the chance to live out my dream in front of the world is something I’ll never take for granted. To the fans … thank you for every cheer, every boo, every moment of support. You made this journey unforgettable.”
He made the retirement official by confirming that he is stepping away from the ring for good, even though it wasn’t an easy call to make.
“As of today, I’m officially stepping away and retiring from professional wrestling. It’s not an easy decision, but it’s the right one for me.”
Toward the end of his message, Crusifino also addressed speculation about what he might do next, making it clear there’s at least one path he isn’t taking.
“Again, I can not say this enough … Thank you! What an amazing last 4 years and don’t worry about me … I’ll figure it out. And, no, I’m not joining OnlyFans.”
Crusifino signed with WWE in 2022 and first appeared as a lawyer aligned with the D’Angelo Family before later moving to WWE EVOLVE with a different presentation. His last match came on the April 22 episode of WWE EVOLVE, just days before his release.
