Reggie reveals how his three year WWE plan changed
WWE Superstar Reggie recently did an interview with Wrestling Inc. managing editor Nick Hausman where he said that he had a three-year plan in place for his WWE career. Due to the pandemic, he got called up early.
“My whole three-year plan when I was in NXT was, hey, I am going to learn the business in this first year, impress a lot of people. Second-year, get a few dark matches and whatnot,” he said. “And hopefully, then I get a few spots on TV. Then the third year, hopefully, I am just a regular guy getting on TV. I guess the pandemic had other plans.
“I continued to work my but off during the pandemic. Then when I got back to the Performance Center, I was in better shape than other people. I was more knowledgeable about the business in many ways than other people in my class, and I got called up.”
Recently his double commitment segment with Dana, Tamina and Akira Tozawa was received quite well by the WWE Universe.
