The WWE often calls in extras for all sorts of roles, often using local independent wrestlers for those things. Whether it’s security, something like the former No Way Jose’s conga line, or various things. One of those extras is now with Ring of Honor.
In an interview with Fightful, The Beer City Bruiser talked about some of his work as an extra with the WWE. He wound up working several shows thanks to having connections with a former talent manager in WWE, Simon Dean. He had worked well enough for them that one time he took a role as a stand in for Bray Wyatt.
WWE brought him in during the Roman Reigns vs. Bray Wyatt feud to portray the fake Bray Wyatt because they’re built similarly. Around that time, Ring of Honor offered Bruiser a contract.
Bruiser said they asked him to keep a line of communication open, and he wound up passing on their offer to keep working for ROH. However, in the middle of a big feud for the WWE, he had a chance to be on their program for a few key moments.
