Former WWE NXT standout Luca Crusifino, real name Roman Macek, has officially retired from professional wrestling at the age of just 25 following his release from the company. The ex-D’Angelo Family member took to social media to share an emotional farewell, thanking fans, coaches, and colleagues for their support during his four-year run. Crusifino described the decision as necessary, closing one chapter while expressing excitement for future opportunities outside the ring.
Crusifino enjoyed a memorable NXT career from 2022 to 2026, beginning as a sharp-tongued lawyer gimmick, who later joined The D’Angelo Family as Tony D’Angelo’s consigliere. Key highlights included competing for the North American Championship against Oba Femi, high-stakes family drama with Stacks, and a notable Triple Threat Match in July 2025. Though he never won gold, his mic skills and faction storytelling were memorable by midcard standards.
