In a recent interview on the Tapis Rogue! podcast, WWE NXT Superstar Scrypts – real name Sidney Bateman – explained how he made his way from Cirque du Soleil to WWE.
The former Reggie said,
“It was 2019. We’re in Orlando and the first week the coach comes to us and goes, ‘Hey WWE wants to do an exchange with you. Would you guys be willing to go to their headquarters and train a day as a wrestler, then they would come here and train a day as a Cirque du Soleil artist?’ I said, ‘Heck, yeah. Been a huge fan of wrestling my entire life. Let’s do this.’”
