Kona Reeves spent 7 years in NXT after signing with WWE in 2014. He has now traded life on the road for a job at Walt Disney World, but still wrestles at local shows in Florida sometimes.
While speaking to Muscle Man Malcolm, Reeves talked about what his time in NXT meant to him before explaining why he’s happy with life at Disney World.
“Not many people get to experience that. It was amazing. Being on the road, traveling, going to different cities and stuff like that. Was a blast.”
He also named the people he enjoyed working with during his NXT run.
“There was so many people I liked to work while I was in NXT. I mean, Adam Cole was awesome to work. Johnny Gargano was a pro. Just so many people were amazing to work, you know what I mean. Kenta was awesome to work. He was someone that I wanted to work.”
He then talked about his time working under WWE Chief Content Officer Triple H.
“I had some relationship with Triple H. He pulled me over to the side. Whenever I have a match on TV, he let me know, gave me some advice, told me what I could work on. And I go out there and I, you know, work on that.”
Regarding his new job at Walt Disney World, Reeves said:
“I’m enjoying having fun right now. I work full time over at Disney World. I’m a stunt performer at the Indiana Jones Show. I beat up Indiana Jones for a living.”
He went on to confirm that he hasn’t left pro wrestling entirely and still appears for local shows in Florida.
“I come out here and fulfill wrestling. You know, every once in a while, Boca Raton Championship Wrestling. I also wrestle down there. I was just champion over there.”
