Lance Anoai, part of the legendary Anoai family that includes Roman Reigns and The Usos, has officially parted ways with WWE and hes ready to return to the indie scene after never getting the chance to appear on NXT 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 dynastys 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 hed debut.
Now, hes 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.
The mention of a 30 day clause aligns with WWE NXTs standard non-compete window, suggesting he was officially released from his contract rather than requesting a mutual parting.
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 didnt pan out, Lance has been a constant presence on the independent scene for over a decade, and hes determined to pick up where he left off.
Lance Anoais 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, hes far from done.
