Lance Anoaâ€i, part of the legendary Anoaâ€i family that includes Roman Reigns and The Usos, has officially parted ways with WWE — and heâ€s ready to return to the indie scene after never getting the chance to appear on WWE television.
Lance signed with WWE in 2023 and joined the Performance Center as part of the NXT roster. The signing was seen as a continuation of the Bloodline dynastyâ€s influence across all WWE brands. Unfortunately, his WWE career was cut short before it ever really got started. An injury sidelined Lance shortly after signing, and he never made it to TV, leaving many fans wondering when or if heâ€d debut.
Now, heâ€s confirmed that his time with WWE is officially over. Taking to social media, Lance addressed his departure with a message that pointed toward unfinished business.
“I would officially announce my departure from WWE! I didnâ€t have the best of luck since I arrived! I will not let this stop me from achieving to be great! Iâ€ve worked hard on the indies for 15 years! Now letâ€s get back to work! 30days Accepting bookings booklanceanoai@gmail.comâ€
The mention of a “30 day†clause aligns with WWE NXTâ€s standard non-compete window, suggesting he was officially released from his contract.
Before this stint, Lance had previously worked WWE tryout matches and made brief television appearances, including a 2019 episode of SmackDown Live in a match against Shane McMahon. While his latest run in WWE didnâ€t pan out, Lance has been a constant presence on the independent scene for over a decade, and heâ€s determined to pick up where he left off.
Lance Anoaâ€iâ€s exit from WWE is a reminder that even with wrestling royalty in your bloodline, nothing is guaranteed in this business. But if his history on the indies is anything to go by, heâ€s far from done.
