“The Reality” Zack Clayton is All Elite.
Clayton announced his official signing with AEW in a vignette on Tuesday’s AEW Dark episode. Clayton stated that his signing had permanently changed the AEW environment.
Clayton went on to say that people will now respect him and worship the ground he walks on and that he will do whatever he wants around here, no matter who likes it or not. Clayton stated that everyone is suddenly wanting to be a tough guy, but if everyone is so tough, why not come up and challenge The Reality to a match?
Clayton then stated that he doubts anyone would challenge him, so until then, he will remind everyone of AEW’s newest and largest signing – The Reality.
“It’s official. @AEW Now send me competition,” Clayton tweeted after the promo aired.
Clayton has been on MTV’s Jersey Shore series and is engaged to J-Woww, who has sat ringside to support on her partner.
Clayton made his AEW debut on May 28, 2020, when he lost against QT Marshall. He worked a number of Dark and Elevation matches before making his TV debut on Rampage on August 19, 2022, losing to FTW Champion Hook. Clayton recently defeated Conan Lycan, Serpentico, and Vary Morales in Dark and Elevation matches.
