Terry Yaki has started to make a name for himself on the Independent scene through appearances on ACTION, GCW, and more.
At the age of 21, he's also worked on AEW Dark, which has helped expose him to a larger audience.
As a short-term goal, Terry would like to keep getting his face out there, which includes an appearance on WWE television.
"Short-term goals, I do want to do some stuff with WWE, hopefully. Extra work or something like that. Really, just get my face out there more and wrestle on the west coast," he told Jeremy Lambert & Stephen Jensen on The Spotlight.
When asked if he's contacted WWE in the past, replied, "I haven't hit them up, they haven't contacted me. I haven't hit them up yet. I will soon. I feel I want to get more ready to be presented in that way. I feel I'm ready, but at the end of the day, you still have those self-doubts. We were saying short-term goals, getting my face out there more. I do that now, but getting it out there to a more national or global level, putting my face out there. It's really up to me. I have to hit them up. I have hit up Gabe Sapolsky before. He said he'd try to get me whatever, the whole circumstance. I'll do it again, I'll send another one."
Many wrestlers, including the likes of MJF and Ricky Starks, have done extra work for WWE when they were earlier in their wrestling careers.
As far as long-term goals, Terry said, "I do want to get to Japan. I want to be well-traveled, so maybe that's long-term. I want to be well-traveled and say that I wrestled in Japan, Canada, Mexico, all over the world. I do want to wrestle for a promotion in Korea. I'm black, white, and Korean, so I feel like it'd be cool to wrestle in Korea because of my heritage."
Terry trains at WWA4 under AR Fox.
