Alex Riley has returned to wrestling.
Create A Pro Wrestling held their toy drive event last week, and announced that Alex Riley was going to make his return to pro wrestling. He's been out of action since his WWE release in 2016, and has told people he wants to make another go of wrestling.
When he decided to get back into wrestling, Tyrus sent him to Create a Pro's academy, and he's been actively training there. He's also been in the ring with Jay Lethal, Big Kon and David Mercury. Tyrus has remained instrumental to his return and helping get him back in the public eye.
When Fightful spoke with Riley in 2017, he said that he was going to focus on acting. He eventually got a brief part in GLOW, and other bit parts.
