Luca Crusifino, 25, Retires From Pro Wrestling After WWE Release

The former NXT developmental prospect says the WWE cut closed this chapter for him.

Overview

  • Crusifino, who announced the decision Monday on X, said he is “officially” retiring from wrestling after last week’s departures.
  • He was among the names let go in WWE’s latest round of cuts, which came days after his last televised bout on the April 22 episode of WWE EVOLVE.
  • The Pennsylvania native performed a lawyer persona in NXT, later acted as consigliere for The D’Angelo Family, and recently tried a raver reboot on EVOLVE.
  • He thanked fans and colleagues in his post, added “I’ll figure it out,” and joked that he would not join OnlyFans.
  • A former Duquesne football player, he signed with WWE in 2022 and debuted on NXT Level Up in February 2023, a path that shows how roster churn can end short runs for developmental talent.
