On October 9, 2022, fans were treated to a new episode of The Walking Dead. This episode featured a professional wrestling match during Founder's Day that featured a former WWE star.
In 2010, Percy Watson participated in the second season of NXT with MVP as his mentor and finished fifth overall. He returned to programming for WWE Superstars in September 2011 and teamed up with Titus O'Neil. Despite spending three years with the company, he never appeared on RAW or SmackDown and was released in May 2013.
After spending some time on the independent circuit, he returned to the company in 2016 and joined Tom Phillips and Corey Graves in the broadcast booth at NXT. In 2018, he became a color commentator for 205 Live and Main Event. However, the following year, Percy Jackson quit the company to pursue a career in acting.

What has Percy Watson been up to between leaving WWE and appearing on The Walking Dead?
Besides The Walking Dead, McNeil has been busy with other ventures ever since his exit from the company. However, it wasn't just movies or series.
In 2021, he appeared as The Unknown Hand for EC3's first Free the Narrative event. During the show, he successfully defeated Jake Logan.
