Alex Shelley explains why he didn’t sign a WWE contract when he previously had an opportunity

While speaking to CBSSports.com, Alex Shelley of The Motor City Machine Guns noted that WWE offered him a contract in 2019 but he turned it down. Shelley explained why he made that decision…

“I had tabled a WWE contract offer because of the pandemic. I was too scared to sign a wrestling contract because the entertainment industry was so up and down. I didn’t know what was going on. Nobody in the world did.”

Shelley then commented on himself and Chris Sabin finally signing with WWE in 2024…

“We talked directly to Paul [Levesque], Triple H, and he treated us with the utmost respect. A huge factor in our decision was wanting to be players on his team. We wanted to be a part of the WWE machine, specifically with him leading the charge.”
