His rise to success within WWE serves as an inspiration to anyone looking to break into the industry and make their dreams a reality. ## “I remember it like it was yesterday. So when I finally got the call from a guy named Johnny Greco, he wears a lot of hats, he’s been everywhere. He’s in there and we’re doing this process and Greg is there, and they had me ring announce something. They gave me the stats ahead of time, you memorize them and you turn around… they give you a couple of seconds. We did a whole thing where I was [acting like] I was backstage, cause at the time in the PC, they’re doing classes in there so you’re doing your auditions when classes are in there and Triple H is working out in the room next door and he walks out and it’s like ‘Don’t mess up!’ It’s a crazy… during that time, it was kind of crazy because the PC was so small and it was whatever. ## So they grabbed… it was Bull Dempsey at the time and he came over and we did a backstage thing and I was supposed to talk to him about his thing with Tyler Breeze and they’re like ‘Hey, hey, you need to stall.’ So I’m like stalling, trying to ask him questions and then I go ‘Thank you for your time, back to you guys.’ It was that kind of stuff. We did an arena thing where I walked out and went ‘What’s up WWE universe, tonight you’re gonna see this, Intercontinental Championship is on the line, WWE Championship is on the line’ and then kind of putting over the audience before throwing to a video package. It’s stuff like that. I don’t know what the process is now, but that’s what it was when I did it.” ## To stay updated with all the latest combat sports news, add Sacnilk.com to your Google News feeds and follow us on Twitter.

The incident occurred when Stratton dove off the top rope onto Hartwell and Roxanne Perez. Hartwell's body weight exerted pressure on her right ankle, leading to an immediate injury. ## A trainer/doctor rushed to check on Hartwell while the match continued, and it was evident that she was in pain.

In what is sure to be a high-octane encounter, Tyler Bate has pledged his support for Lee, agreeing to be in his corner.## The fiery feud between former tag team partners, Gigi Dolin and Jacy Jayne, is set to take center stage once again.
