The roster of All Elite Wrestling is one that has been constantly growing since the company began in 2019, with Tony Khan routinely signing new talent. This has been a mix of established professional wrestlers, and people just starting their careers – and their latest signing is the latter of the two. Zack Clayton, who first rose to some fame as a part of The Jersey Shore – has been working AEW full time, despite fans not seeing a “Zack Clayton is All Elite” graphic yet.
Zack Clayton Is Touring Full Time With AEW Right Now, Working Behind The Scenes
During an interview with WrestleZone, Clayton would have chance to speak about his work in AEW – where he recently made his TV debut on AEW Rampage, losing an FTW Championship match to HOOK. Clayton would confirm he’s on the road full time with AEW, and has a great relationship with Tony Khan & QT Marshall. He’d be quoting saying the following.
“I was at the Dark tapings in Orlando. I don’t know what the date is gonna be for that airing, but it’s gonna be soon. I have several more. I’m booked, I’m on the road full-time with AEW. I am booked until something happens. But the point is to be on the road full-time, and I have a great relationship with Tony Khan, QT Marshall, and we’ve stayed close in conversation. There’s plans ahead, so we’re gonna have to keep watching for that. But working tight with the people backstage and just on different creative directions is really what I’m focusing on.”
Having Done Several Integrations Between AEW & MTV
As for his reality TV past, Clayton has been using that to try and work some magic between AEW & MTV. He’s been responsible for some crossover between the two companies, and Clayton had the following to say about this.
“I do have a crossover because I am on other networks and other TV shows. Obviously MTV is a really big platform. We’ve done several integrations with AEW and MTV in the past. They’ve gone over very well. Tony Khan’s very happy about how those played out on MTV. We’re looking to do more of those in the future. A goal of mine personally is to help AEW become mainstream, and I’ve said that before. Not everybody knows what AEW is yet, as opposed to other companies, people know that they are. So you get a comparison, but AEW should be able to stand on its own, and I wanna help be able to do that.”
