Reggie is now working under the ring name of SCRYPTS in WWE NXT.
Speaking on the latest edition of the “Tapis Rogue! Podcast,” SCRYPTS opened up on his time working in the circus in Cirque du Soleil prior to signing with WWE.
The high-flyer credits his time in the circus as the reason why he landed a job with WWE.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On getting his start doing circus work: “I started circus at the age of 11 in St. Louis, Missouri. It was something that I did after school that kept me out of trouble … It was an outlet to showcase me and what I love to do, but it also, it was just an escape. An escape from all the poverty, the drugs, the gangs, the crazy stuff from my neighborhood.”
On the transition from circuses to WWE: “It’s so crazy how effortlessly the transition was. In my eyes, I’ve been training for this role for 16 years. Everything I learned in circus helped me prepare and get this spot in WWE.”
On which of the two was more challenging: “Everything that I did in circus was way more difficult. Doing it here is actually a lot easier for me because I have 16 years of performing experience and that’s helping me so much in this field.”
