"Work somewhere awesome" - Former WWE producer Pat Buck comments on working for AEW

Former WWE producer Pat Buck has commented on working for AEW following his move to Tony Khan's promotion earlier this month.

The former OVW wrestler previously worked as a producer for WWE since August 2019. Buck left days after he had helped produce the main event of WrestleMania 38, Roman Reigns vs Brock Lesnar.

Reports emerged that he had signed as a producer with AEW just over a week later. Buck recently confirmed the move in a post on his Twitter page. He also described AEW as working somewhere awesome, so it seems like he's happy with the company so far.

Among his wrestling and production exploits, Buck has also founded the Create A Pro wrestling academy, best known for producing AEW star MJF. Fans may recognize the producer from an angle with Nia Jax, who laid her hands on the official to earn a storyline suspension in 2020.

What did Pat Buck do before WWE?

Pat Buck was an in-ring competitor before he was a producer, and occasionally Buck wrestled as an enhancement talent on WWE programming. He spent the majority of his time as a wrestler within OVW, a former developmental territory for Vince McMahon's promotion.

Buck reigned as the Southern Tag Team Champion in the promotion twice. His work in the ring also included refereeing when he worked for yet another former developmental territory in FCW.

He founded the previously mentioned Create A Pro academy alongside Brian Myers (FKA Curt Hawkins) in 2012, where he himself has held the promotion's top title. Fellow AEW employees Max Caster, Mark Sterling, and Bear Bronson have also held the strap. Buck is also the owner of the WrestlePro promotion.

Buck started out his career as a producer with IMPACT Wrestling in 2018. He was responsible for producing and competing in the Ultimate X match at the United We Stand event in 2019.
