“I’ve been dealing with some pain in my hip for a very long time, since about July of last year,” Dupont said in a recent post to Instagram. “Pushed through to the best I could to make sure I didn’t miss any opportunities, but God’s timing. When it’s time, it’s time. Today we’re taking care of that. Minor setback for a major comeback.”

Dupont has been on the WWE roster since 2023, beginning to train at the WWE Performance Center after having a background in track and field. He has wrestled over 80 matches since his in-ring debut, almost all of which have come in tag team matchups alongside his High Ryze tag partner, Tyriek Igwe.

Dupont last appeared on TV as part of a TNA program in late 2025, where he worked alongside a group of “NXT Outlaws” and fought Team TNA in a nine-man cage match. His last match was at an NXT house show in February.
