"One door closes, another opens. Thank you to all who have help me along the way. Much love [heart emoji] [folded hands emoji]," Blake wrote, attaching a GIF of rocker Zakk Wylde giving thanks.

Blake had been with WWE since June 2013. He last competed in a Fatal 4 Way at the Money In the Bank 2020 pay-per-view, but was briefly brought to SmackDown in December of last year for a quick program with King Baron Corbin.

All wrestlers released on Thursday are under a standard 90-day non-compete clause with WWE and are not free to sign with other promotions until Wednesday, July 14.
