Sapp stated, “Quincy Elliott was a trouble. Quincy Elliott caused all kinds of issues for the staff in WWE. It was somebody who was always going to be up next on the chopping block. No other way to put it. Quincy Elliott was gonna get cut out.”

Elliott made his in-ring debut in March 2021. He initially generated buzz with his ‘Super Diva’ persona. However, he struggled to gain momentum or achieve sustained success on the brand, with his last NXT TV appearance. 

It was being in an NXT North American Title number one contender battle royal in March this year—his only NXT TV match since October. His final WWE match occurred at an NXT house show in Tampa on August 19.
