Ryan Tran discusses his future in WWE.
Ryan Tran was signed to WWE in 2010, joining the company as a referee after training to be a wrestler and working for other promotions before eventually finding his way to WWE.
Appearing on The Viet Q podcast, Tran was asked what his future looks like in WWE.
"My goal is to go possibly another ten years. After that, I would like to still be with the company. I do enjoy the beyond the scenes work. Sometimes, I feel I don't have to be in front of the camera. If I can be the behind the scenes person, putting things together and making sure that the show goes on right. I like the video side, the audio side, the lighting. All that stuff that goes behind the scenes, I enjoy that stuff. I do enjoy working with my co-workers that way and learning those things. In the entertainment business, it's so much fun, there are so many things to learn. That's another thing my dad told me, 'when you're doing something and learning, you have to learn multiple trades. Never stop learning because you never know what they may need you for.'
"That's also helped me out. I started refereeing, I learned that, I went to wrestling, but I wanted to better myself, so I went to a different school, I learned more, and now that I do this, I learned how to build a ring and tear down a ring, learned how to fix this and that. He's always taught me to make yourself to where they can't just release you, fire you, or lose you. They know you're too important. That's one thing I've taken from him. Him, being an immigrant, coming here with my mom, my two sisters, and myself, with nothing. He made something of himself, he gave me a path, and now it's my job to create a path for my sons and daughter. I need to open a path for them like he did for me."
Tran served as the referee for the WWE United States Title bout between Rey Mysterio and Logan Paul at WWE Crown Jewel.
