Cutler has spent 7 years with WWE in the developmental, NXT and main roster. He was part of The Forgotten Sons tag team and recently worked in as Corbin’s Knight of the Lone Wolf. Cutler was reportedly released after getting heat from Vince McMahon over his COVID-19 diagnosis.

Cutler’s partner Deonna Purrazzo has also confirmed that she and Cutler had tested positive for COVID-19 last month. Purrazzo is current Impact Knockouts Champion and former NXT Star. Purrazzo also mentioned that they did not have any symptoms of the virus but they took all precautionary measures.

Purrazzo also responded to Cutler’s release as she said “When one door closes, another opens.”

.@SteveCutlerWWE & I had tested positive for COVID, the beginning of January. We had no symptoms but took all precautions necessary.

Thanks for the well wishes but we are healthy and in good spirits. When one door closes, another opens. ❤️
