Shelley, who has been wrestling for over two decades, for promotions like ROH, NJPW, and TNA, signed with WWE recently and debuted on the October 18 edition of "WWE SmackDown." In a recent post on social media, Shelley expressed joy and gratitude following his WWE debut.
"I've kind of shied away from posting for a little bit because it's been a busy week and I knew I wanted to make this video. It's something that I wanted to do, want to express gratitude to everybody that's supported me, throughout not just my pro wrestling career, but my life and that's friends, that's co-workers, and that's family," he began. "What I was able to able to accomplish last Friday night on 'SmackDown' was a dream come true. I can now say that I'm not just a physical therapy clinician, I'm not just a strength and therapy coach, I'm not just a friend or a brother, or a punk rocker or an artist, but now I'm a WWE Superstar. To be able to verbalize that has a very, very deep and profound power here [points to the heart] and, again, I couldn't have done it without the support of so many people, [at] so many different points in my life."
