UK Star Maddie Morgan Shares How WWE RAW Role Came About, Recent Tryout

UK pro-wrestler Maddy Morgan has shared how her recent WWE RAW appearance came about, as well as what she experienced at her WWE tryout. 

Morgan appeared as an extra during a recent episode of WWE Monday Night RAW and was part of a segment that included Bayley. 

Speaking to “The A2theK Wrestling Show”, Morgan discussed the appearance and how it came about. She said, 

“It was genuinely incredible. 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.”

Though she worked as an extra on RAW, Morgan hopes to one day be a fully-fledged Superstar, and was part of recent tryouts in the UK. 

In the interview, Morgan recalled her tryout, including being on the opposite end of the planet when she was first approached about the UK tryouts. She said, 

“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.’”

Morgan’s role in the tryout allowed her to work with veterans of the ring including Robbie Brookside and Matt ‘Albert’ Bloom. She added, 

“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.

Morgan has competed in several promotions, including Marigold Wrestling in Japan, PROGRESS in the UK, and as part of wXw in Germany.
