Wagner, the son of Wayne Bloom, played college football before he signed with WWE in 2019. He spent the next few years in NXT, and he didn’t become a featured member of the roster until the NXT 2.0 rebrand in September 2021. Wagner briefly teamed with Kyle O’Reilly. He also had a run where Robert Stone was his manager.
