10 AEW Talents You Didn't Know Wrestled For WWE
10 Wrestlers for AEW you didn't know performed in WWE
5. Prince Nana
All Elite Wrestling finally provided the tremendous Prince Nana with a global stage on which to display his talents.
And those talents – mainly the charismatic promos and, of course, that infectious dance – have greatly benefitted Swerve Strickland, with Nana helping take the former AEW World Champion to the next level.
Before AEW, Prince Nana was best known for his time in Ring of Honor, where he managed The Embassy.
It was his work with ROH that brought him to the attention of WWE, who offered him a tryout in 2013. You may not know that prior to trying out as a manager, Prince Nana had actually wrestled for WWE.
In the early 2000s, Nana was trying to make it as a wrestler, not a manager, and secured a couple of enhancement gigs, first putting over Steve Blackman on an episode of Jakked in July of 2001, before being brought back to stare at the ceiling for Crash Holly in January of 2002.
They were routine matches, apart from the fact the loss to Crash took place inside Madison Square Garden, at a taping that also had bouts featuring Nana’s future Ring of Honor cohorts Low Ki and Xavier.
