Zack Clayton has officially signed with AEW.
The Jersey Shore star has regularly been featured on AEW's YouTube programming but perhaps his most high-profile appearance in AEW was a loss to Hook on AEW Rampage in August 2022. Not one to be defined by his setbacks, Zach Clayton is pushing forward in AEW and announced on the October 11 episode of AEW Dark that he has officially signed a contract with the promotion. AEW has tiered contracts and it was not stated what kind of a contract Zack Clayton had signed.
“The landscape of AEW has changed indefinitely, and that’s because I’ve officially signed a contract with All Elite Wrestling. Let me tell you what that means for you: number one, you’re gonna respect me, and you’re gonna worship the ground that I stand on. Number two, I’m gonna do whatever I wanna do around here, and I don’t care who likes it or not. All of a sudden, everyone wants to play 'tough guy' around here. Everybody’s a tough guy. So if everyone’s so tough, then how about someone steps up and challenges ‘The Reality?’ But I’m not so sure that’s gonna happen. So until then, how about I remind everybody of the newest and biggest new sign-on to AEW, ‘The Reality’ Zack Clayton,” said Clayton
#TheReality @zackclayton has a very important message here on #AEWDark!

Outside the ring, Zack Clayton is engaged to JWoww. JWoww appeared once in a wrestling ring, beating up current NXT manager Robert Stone when he was portraying a Jersey Shore rip-off character, Robbie E in TNA Wrestling.
