Alex Shelley thanks fans for their support following WWE debut

Alex Shelley is thanking fans for their support.

In a social media post on Wednesday, Shelley thanked fans and family for their support throughout the years. He and Chris Sabin made their debut as the Motor City Machine Guns on last Friday’s SmackDown.

“I want to express gratitude to everybody that supported me throughout not just my pro wrestling career but my life and that’s friends, and that’s co-workers, and that’s family. You don’t necessarily have to be a blood relative to be family, but we did it,” he said.

“Now I’m a WWE superstar. To be able to verbalize that has a very, very deep and profound sense of power here,” he continued, pressing on his chest. “And again, I couldn’t have done it without the support of so many people…so many different points of my life. I think whether you believe in the creator or fate or the universe…I have to be one of the most blessed people out there to have come this far and to be able to accomplish that goal and now the hard work begins. But again, thank you so, so much, I truly mean that. And I couldn’t have done it without you. Thanks for pushing me along and picking me up when I was gonna fall and encouraging me and never letting me give up and, gosh. Here we go.”

The Motor City Machine Guns won their three-way match on Friday and will face DIY on this coming Friday’s show to determine the next contenders for the WWE Tag Team titles currently held by The Bloodline (Tama Tonga and Tonga Loa).
