Anthony Henry said he was devastated by the news of getting his AEW release and may be done with wrestling altogether.

Henry was part of a small round of cuts by AEW on Monday, ending his run with the company.

The 40-year-old took to X Tuesday in his first public statement since the news, saying he was appreciative of the support and was unsure about his future.

The amount of support I am receiving during this very difficult time is amazing, and I appreciate all of it.

I don't know what is next for me. I don't know if wrestling is something I still want to pursue. I am devastated.

Henry is currently on the shelf after suffering a broken jaw during a March indie match that resulted in himself and JD Drake being pulled from the AEW Tag Team title tournament.

The former Asher Hale in WWE NXT last wrestled for AEW in mid-January and had been appearing more frequently with Drake on Ring of Honor TV. Drake was not part of Monday's cuts that included Henry, ring announcer Dasha Kuret, Stu Grayson, Jose the Assistant, Jora Johl, Gravity, Slim J, Parker Boudreaux, and The Boys (Brandon & Brent Tate).

AEW & ROH head Tony Khan has yet to comment publicly on the reason for the cuts, but will be on a media call this Thursday to promote Friday's ROH Supercard of Honor event.

Henry has been a wrestler since 2003.
