Former WWE Star Reggie Says He Couldn’t Refuse NXT Move Without Getting Fired

TLDR

Former WWE star Reggie (Sidney Akeem) revealed on Between Two Jobs that his return to NXT during WWE's creative shift from Vince McMahon to Triple H was not a real discussion. He had pitched a masked character idea involving Rey Mysterio, but was instead informed by John Cone that he was being sent back to NXT, and he felt refusing wasn't an option. He was later repackaged as Scrypts, using a mask and his acrobatic skills.
