In 2013, he helped his team win the NCAA team championship and would gain numerous bronze as well as silver medals in several categories.

Quitting NXT and Recent Projects
Stacey made a few appearances in NXT shows early in 2019 before taking some time off wrestling, and many sources believed he was either taking a break or was injured. In early-2019, it was then reported that he had quit the company, and various rumors started circulating – according to several sources, he suffered a concussion scare during a recorded appearance, and after recovering was given time to think things over. He eventually, decided that he would stop wrestling out of concern that another concussion may prove to be worse. The video of him suffering the possible concussion was posted online in a recorded match.
A concussion is a mild traumatic brain injury that temporarily affects brain function. Symptoms include blurry vision, headaches, mood changes, and trouble with memory. Prior to leaving NXT, Stacey was known for doing acrobatic movements such as the 630 Senton bomb and the standing corkscrew shooting star press, which requires a high amount of athleticism to pull off, and are risky wrestling moves if not performed properly. Since the report, he has not posted anything wrestling-related on his personal social media accounts. Instead, he has been promoting a personal project related to physical and mental wellness. The project is yet to be revealed, but it does seem as though it seems he is staying away from wrestling for good.
Personal Life and Social Media
For his personal life, it is known that Stacey is in a relationship with gymnast Simone Biles, and that the two started dating in 2017, three years after they met. She is the 2016 Olympic all around, vault and floor gold medalist, a four-time world champion and five-time US national all-around champion, the most decorated American gymnast, and also the third most decorated female gymnast in history. She has four World all-around titles and a total of 20 World medals so far. Many consider her to be the greatest gymnast of all time.
According to several reports, Stacey also works as the head coach and director of the World Champions Centre where Biles trains. Similar to numerous gymnasts and professional wrestlers, Stacey has on-line social media accounts in websites such as Instagram and Twitter. He mainly posts a lot of personal photos and videos, including of himself alongside his girlfriend Biles, and the couple’s French bulldog.
