Adam Brooks Opens Up About Guest Coaching At WWE PC, Producing & Helping At NXT House Show

Adam Brooks speaks about his experience at WWE.

In late April, 16-year wrestler Adam Brooks guest-coached at the WWE Performance Center. He reflected on the experience while appearing on The Magic Of Wrestling.

Brooks added that he produced as well. He stated that the guest coaching spot had been in the works for quite a few years. It dates back to February 2024, when WWE was in Perth, Australia, for the Elimination Chamber Premium Live Event and held tryouts while in the country.

WWE P.C. head coach Matt Bloom approached Brooks about a potential coaching opportunity. Brooks added that he was supposed to do his coaching spot in January 2026, but WWE was busy at the time.

“It was an incredible week. Just an incredible week of just learning all these aspects of not being a wrestler. I’m still wrestling, I’m still doing my thing. But yeah, I was brought in to be a guest coach, and just shadow and learn and help produce and get on the headset and listen to how everything’s done and it was awesome. Very, very rewarding… This has sort of been in the making for quite a few years actually. My last tryout with WWE when they came to Australia in February of (2024) when they came to Perth. They did a big tryout, I was part of that, and I was pulled aside by coach (Matt) Bloom, and I’m thinking, oh, here we go. I’ve got it. It’s happening, it’s happening, it’s happening, and then, he mentioned, ‘You look great, your work’s great. Everything’s great,’ all this stuff. ‘Have you ever thought of coaching?’ And I was like, ‘Well, no, not really because I’ve just been so focused on my wrestling,’ and then he mentioned, ‘I’d like to maybe bring you in one day as a guest coach and see how you like it and get a vibe of the place and all that.’ So yeah, we just kept in touch over the years. I update him with everything that I’ve been doing, and yeah, we were able to just make it work. Visas and stuff all sorted, and yeah, I hit him up and it was actually meant to happen the last time I was in the States back in January. But, I think they just had this big tryout and then I think they were doing stuff in Saudi. So that one fell through months ago but then I said to him, ‘Hey, I’m gonna be back between these dates. I’m free between these weeks. What works?’ And he said, ‘Right. Let’s bring you in this week and then, we’ll sort you out’ and yeah, so that’s kind of how that all came about. Just very unexpected but, I’m still wrestling, but it was so cool to go there and just learn a completely different aspect of the business that I’ve never done so, it was awesome.”

Brooks went on to share that he shadowed at NXT TV and helped out at an NXT house show that same week.

“I was lucky enough to be just shadowing at NXT TV. So just seeing how intricate and detailed stuff like that is, you know? Cameras and placements of props and stuff like that. Seeing that environment but then also helping out at the live event on Friday, it’s like television and then it goes back to pro wrestling. A completely different environment and watching the athletes working in a TV environment, then a live event pro wrestling environment, it was very interesting, very different… Structure. I like that there’s a structure there, you know?”

This week has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my career/life.
I want to thank @NXTMattBloom & @WWERecruit for inviting me to spend a week in Orlando guest coaching at the WWE Performance Centre and learning how things are done in @wwenxt
I’m incredibly grateful ❤️ pic.twitter.com/fr3lmMj65w
