The name Nathan Jones may be familiar to many fans since the star went on to make a career for himself outside of WWE.
Jones originally signed a contract with WWE in late 2002 but was unable to perform for the company due to visa issues. The Australian was finally able to debut for WWE in April 2003 on SmackDown,
Jones was reportedly scheduled to be part of a match alongside The Big Show against The Undertaker and A-Train at WrestleMania, but the match was scrapped. Jones was instead attacked ahead of the match and went on to cost Big Show his victory when he returned to interfere.
In the months that followed, Jones was sent back to OVW to improve his in-ring skills before returning to align himself with Brock Lesnar and Paul Heyman. In December 2003, Jones quit the company, blaming a hectic travel schedule. He has since moved on to a mildly successful acting career.
