Acey Romero Comments On IMPACT Granting His Release

Acey Romero has shared a statement on social media confirming reports that he had asked for, then was granted his release from IMPACT Wrestling.

Romero took to Twitter to thank everyone at Anthem, especially his XXXL tag team partner Larry D. Opening up about the end of his IMPACT tenure, Romero wrote:

“I had hoped this day and situation would never come, and despite doing everything in my power to prevent it, I find myself here all the same: asking for and being granted my release from IMPACT Wrestling. I want to start by thanking everyone at Anthem. I truly mean everyone from the production crew, to the agents, to the office, to the men and women I was fortunate and lucky enough to share the locker room and ring with.

“I have to give a special huge thank you to Larry D, who became like a brother to me during our run as XXXL. Even though I never considered myself a tag team wrestler, I’m so grateful to get paired up with a great wrestler like Larry. Even before I caught Covid I had felt that our opportunities were few and far between, and became nonexistent after I had recovered from Covid.

“All I’ve ever wanted to do was show the world what I can do. To not let people judge a book by the cover and entertain like only I can. With this chapter of my career coming to end, I am very much so looking forward to starting the next one and getting back to business. Thank you all for your love and support. See you when I see you. -Acey”

Romero reportedly doesn’t have a non-compete clause, and is now free to work with any promotion.
