Stevie Turner Leaves WWE: Inside Kit Wilson’s Next Move
Kit Wilson faces a brutal reset: wife Stevie Turner exits unexpectedly and Pretty Deadly stalls after Elton Prince’s injury against Nathan Frazer, leaving his Friday Night SmackDown trajectory in serious doubt.
It has not been a chill week for Kit Wilson. His wife, Stevie Turner, just announced she is done with WWE, and on top of that, Wilson himself is tangled up in a strange on-screen injury angle that has people guessing. Here is where everything actually stands.
Stevie Turner is out of WWE
Turner revealed on October 10, 2025, via her X account that her WWE run is over. That turned heads because she had carved out a real lane for herself over the last few years.
She signed in 2021 for NXT UK and never grabbed a title there, but she made noise with confident singles matches and sharp promos. When NXT UK shut down in early 2023, she jumped to the U.S. and slotted into the main NXT brand. The big move came in March 2025: WWE launched EVOLVE as a fresh developmental show, and Turner was tapped as the on-screen General Manager. The role fit her slick, tech-forward persona, and behind the scenes she earned strong marks for helping define the brand and pushing new talent into the spotlight. She became one of the faces of that rollout.
The loudest public reaction to her exit came from her husband. Wilson posted this on October 11:
Impressed with everything you have achieved so far, adapting and taking on any role and opportunity presented. Proud to call you mine. Excited to see what comes next!
Where this leaves Kit Wilson
Wilson was on a solid trajectory on SmackDown as half of Pretty Deadly with Elton Prince, and he is a former NXT Tag Team Champion. That momentum took a hit when Prince was injured during a match with Nathan Frazer on the May 2, 2025 SmackDown. Wilson pivoted to a singles run, but it has not caught fire the way he probably hoped.
The October 3 SmackDown segment that got everyone talking
Then came a segment on October 3, 2025 that blew up online. Wilson rolled out in a wheelchair to confront Damian Priest and tried to rise for a dramatic moment. Priest responded by hurling him back down and dumping him on the floor. It was jarring, and it immediately triggered the usual debate: real injury or storyline?
As of now, WWE has not offered any official medical update on Wilson, which only adds to the guessing game. Most fans seem to think the wheelchair was kayfabe (as in, an in-story device) either to drum up sympathy for a comeback or to set the table for a sharp left turn in his character. The lack of concrete injury details and the over-the-top nature of the beatdown support that read. Still, until WWE says something, it is all speculation.
The moving pieces, at a glance
- 2021: Stevie Turner signs with WWE, joins NXT UK.
- Early 2023: NXT UK closes; Turner heads to the U.S. and joins NXT.
- March 2025: Turner becomes on-screen GM of WWE EVOLVE, the new developmental brand.
- May 2, 2025: Elton Prince is injured in a SmackDown match vs. Nathan Frazer; Wilson goes solo.
- October 3, 2025: Wilson appears in a wheelchair on SmackDown; Damian Priest sends him crashing in a viral segment.
- October 10, 2025: Turner announces her WWE exit on X.
- October 11, 2025: Wilson publicly praises Turner and teases her next chapter.
What to expect next
Turner seems poised for a clean slate elsewhere, and based on her EVOLVE run, she has options. Wilson is murkier. Pretty Deadly’s future depends on when (or if) Prince returns, and whether WWE turns Wilson’s wheelchair segment into a comeback story, a character reboot, or a fade-out. For now, it is a wait-and-see on both the injury angle and his spot on the SmackDown depth chart.
