Andre Chase is officially gone from WWE, and he made the announcement himself with an emotional message to fans.

Andre Chase took to social media to confirm that he has been released from his WWE contract. Along with his post teasing bookings and appearances starting in June, Chase shared a heartfelt video explaining the news directly to fans and reflecting on his journey. Chase confirmed the release and thanked supporters who helped turn his run into something far bigger than originally planned.

“Hey, what's up, everybody? I just wanted to hop on here and let you all know that as of today, I've officially been released from my WWE contract. And I just want to say thank you. Thank you for all the support.”

Chase made it clear that fan support played a huge role in changing his trajectory inside WWE, especially after being told early on that he wasn’t expected to become an on-screen star.

“Because when I signed with WWE on the first day, it was made abundantly clear that I was never going to be on television. I was never meant to be a superstar. I was just here to pass on my knowledge to a younger generation.”

Despite those expectations, Chase said the response from fans completely changed his career path, leading to moments he never thought would happen.

“But then something changed, and it was because of your support. It was because of the connection that we had. Suddenly, I had whole arenas chanting Chase U and spelling Chase U.”

He also reflected on the accomplishments he achieved during his time with the company, including championship success tied directly to fan support.

“I mean, we won championships in WWE, and that was definitely something that you guys did, and I'm so grateful for it.”

While confirming the end of his WWE run, Chase made it clear that his wrestling career itself is far from finished, teasing future appearances and continued work in the industry.

“The chapter is closed on my WWE career, but my chapter is not closed on professional wrestling. So stay tuned, and hopefully I'm gonna be in a town near you very soon.”

Chase’s departure adds to what has quickly become a wave of confirmed exits, as several WWE talents have either been released or hinted at departures within the same timeframe. With multiple names now confirming their status publicly, the roster shakeup appears to be unfolding rapidly.

Andre Chase built a loyal following through the Chase U storyline in NXT, turning what began as a supporting role into one of the brand’s most recognizable acts. Now, with his WWE run officially over, attention shifts to where he could land next and how quickly he returns to the ring.

Do you think Andre Chase will quickly land somewhere like AEW, TNA, or the independent scene, or should WWE have kept him around longer? Drop your thoughts in the comments.
