He was at ringside for Zayn’s match against Kevin Owens at WrestleMania 37, celebrating with Owens after the bout before being on the receiving end of a Stunner. That appearance created a buzz around Paul and positioned him as a celebrity crossover talent within WWE programming.
By the summer of 2021, Paul had announced his move to Dorado, Puerto Rico, and signed a multi-event contract with WWE on June 30, 2022. This formal agreement marked the start of a more serious commitment to in-ring training and performance. Working closely with established WWE performers, Paul studied the craft of professional wrestling and physical storytelling inside the squared circle.
