While Prince Nana has never been signed to a contract with WWE, he does admit to having interactions with the company in the past.
Speaking on a recent edition of the “Talk Is Jericho” podcast, the AEW manager revealed that he’s had numerous past interactions with WWE but nothing ever came of the talks.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On his interactions with WWE: “Too many. Too many [laughs]. A lot of interactions, I wrestled Crash Holly at Madison Square Garden, rest in peace to him. It was for a TV taping, Metal. I also worked Steve Blackman. I was there during the WWF era, before they became WWE. In between that, I had different tryouts with the company where they brought me in to tryout as a manager. They know me pretty well.”
On why he never signed there: “I don’t know exactly where I never ended up getting a job there, but I’m a believer in everything happens for a reason. I didn’t think that I wouldn’t make it in pro wrestling, but thank God everything fell into the place it did because I wouldn’t want to be anywhere else but AEW. I never went down there. The biggest thing, they know my pockets are deep and I may not want to relocate all the way to Florida for the rest of my life. I love living in New York City, New York City is my second home outside of Ghana. It would be very hard to get me (to move).”
