UK talent talks WWE RAW appearance and recent WWE tryout
UK talent Maddy Morgan appeared on The A2theK Wrestling Show to discuss her recent WWE RAW appearance and tryout with the company:
“It was genuinely incredible [appearing on RAW]. I got the extra work opportunity through the tryout and everything like that. Just, being able to be backstage, the atmosphere was incredible. Just seeing everyone that you’ve grown up watching, and [now] being sat across from them, just listening to our conversation. It was amazing. Bayley was lovely to work with. Everyone backstage was lovely, talking me through it. It was perfect. I couldn’t have had a better two days if I’d tried to think of it myself.”

Morgan also revealed when she found out about her WWE tryout, which was during a trip in Japan:
“I got told about the tryout, I was travelling in Japan, and I was on the bus and I got a message, asking ‘Are you free for a chat anytime soon?’ I’m stuck on a bus for the next six hours, and I don’t really want to have this conversation surrounded by people. I got back to the hotel room and got told that I was getting the opportunity to have a tryout. I was pacing up and down my room, I was in tears. You try and keep yourself cool and professional. ‘Thank you so much for this opportunity.’
“Robbie Brookside was so lovely, and I don’t know how he does it, but I feel like when I was speaking to him about my personal dreams and hopes in wrestling it felt like there was no one else near me, even though there was people.
“Matt Bloom was amazing as well. He was so lovely… Every single person, and even the NXT talent that came down like Kendall Grey and Kelani Jordan, they were lovely as well and like so supportive. It was just a genuine amazing experience all around.“
