Apollo Crews is feeling blessed about everything he accomplished in WWE, despite his tenure coming to an end this week.
Crews was part of the latest round of talent cuts on Friday. He posted the following message on social media, thanking WWE for the opportunities he earned over his 11 years in the company:
“Thank you, @wwe, for eleven incredible years. Wow. Eleven years. What an incredible journey. I feel blessed to have had a career in WWE that lasted that long. Thanks to everyone who sent me messages or texts. Even if I didn’t reply, just know I’m grateful.
“Throughout my career, I was fortunate to suffer only one serious injury that sidelined me for a significant amount of time. I’ve been lucky to experience many amazing moments during my time with WWE. It’s been a fun ride, and I appreciate everyone who supported me along the way.
To everyone I shared the ring with… thank you. All things come to an end. This is my time. ?”
