John Skyler is a seasoned 33-year-old performer who has previously appeared as an enhancement talent on WWE TV on various occasions. Skyler, however, is more famous for his appearances on AEW Dark, where he has wrestled 14 times throughout the year.

In addition to John Skyler, other AEW Dark regulars such as David Ali, Will Allday, Ray Jaz, and Tyson Maddux also participated in the tryouts.

EJ Risk, aka Eric James, was also present, and most WWE fans would remember the 33-year-old as Lana's 'first husband' from the Ravishing Russian's wedding to Bobby Lashley on an episode of RAW.
