32-year-old AEW star recalls being introduced to Triple H at WWE RAW

A 32-year-old AEW star recalled being introduced to Paul "Triple H" Levesque at WWE RAW after his performance at Tryouts. The star in question is Anthony Bowens.

In his open letter to All Elite Wrestling Fans on The Players' Tribune, AEW World Trios Champion Anthony Bowens shared memories from when WWE came to New York in 2014 to scout new talent.

Bowens said he was booked for the show and, after getting rave feedback for his performance, got introduced to Triple H at RAW the following night. The 32-year-old was ecstatic and thought he might have made it to WWE.

"I got booked when they came to New York, and I won’t lie: I killed it. I got feedback like, “You did some things in there we’ll train guys 10 years before they know how to do.” I got introduced to Triple H at Raw the next night. I was texting people after, like, Damn. They’re introducing me to Hunter? This is really happening. I might have actually done it," Anthony Bowens said.

Bowens continued that he received a call for the WWE Tryouts a few months later in Ohio and was then invited to WWE Performance Centre for a few days, where he "killed it again."

"I impressed them enough to get invited to a tryout a few months later in Ohio, then impressed them enough at that tryout to get invited to the Performance Center for a few days. At the Performance Center, I killed it again. I’m not even bragging — I’ve just always been a good athlete, and the in-ring stuff always felt natural to me," added Bowens.
