After injuries ended Ewen’s dreams of being a professional footballer, Ewen was introduced to professional wrestling by someone who knew Jim Ross. At the suggestion of said person, Ewen was given a tryout in Florida Championship Wrestling (FCW), a developmental territory of World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE). He became convinced that he could be good at it and do wrestling for a living, and WWE signed a developmental contract with him in 2009. According to Ewen, although he had been a wrestling fan as a child, he had “never thought this [was] something you could do for a living, and I would never have. … Thankfully I was in the right place and the right time, and it’s something that I have developed a passion for.”
