Elias Recalls First WWE Tryout, NXT Management Putting Him On List To Be Fired, Lessons From William Regal December 17, 2020 | Posted by Blake Lovell
In a recent interview on Chasing Glory with Lillian Garcia, Elias discussed his first WWE tryout, NXT management putting him on the list to be fired, and much more. You can read his comments below.
Elias on his path to WWE and his first tryout with the company: “When I started training and getting into it – I had one goal in mind, and that was to make it to WWE. I saw on a website somewhere that FCW was having tryouts. All you had to do was pay $1,000 and get yourself there and you could have a tryout, which was a lot of money to me. I was working a job and maybe stocking shelves at a clothing store, and I was also going to school at the time. I paid the $1,000, I flew down to Florida, and for three days there, they drill you, grill you, and have you go through the whole ringer.
