AR Fox believed he would be signing with WWE in 2019.
The aerial artist in the ring has been all over the world, competing for all types of promotions and getting his act over. In 2019, he also believed he would be taking his talents to WWE.
While appearing on a recent episode of Talk Is Jericho, Fox was asked if he had ever thought about going to WWE.
“You see, I thought I was going to work with them. I don’t know how, but I had got like six or seven people hired there [from my school] at the beginning of AEW, like three or fours years ago. Austin Theory is main one. Then other people that I trained, I trained Alan Angels, Dani J, Lee Johnson.”
“Then EVOLVE was starting to work with WWE, so then they had all these guys from NXT come and they kept having them work with me like Mansoor, the Street Profits, I had maybe three or four tag matches with [them]. [They were] saying, ‘Do your thing, just go crazy. Run a bunch of spots, get this is awesome chants and stuff.’ So I’m like, ‘Oh, shoot. Maybe I could get a hand in working there.’ So that’s what I thought it was gonna be, and that’s like the closest I came.”
“I did a tryout for FCW when I was super new, I think that was the one where they hired Tyler Breeze. Vicious, vicious. I was young, I was like 19 and I was dying.”
