Alex Shelley Comments on Wanting to Work for Triple H Being Huge Factor in Motor City Machine Guns’ Decision to Sign with WWE

SHAK Wrestling held a recent interview with the Motor City Machine Guns’ Alex Shelley & Chris Sabin. One of the topics discussed included Shelley’s thoughts about how wanting to work for WWE CCO Paul “Triple H” Levesque was a huge factor in their decision to sign with WWE.

“We have no idea whose idea it was to bring us in. What I can say though, we talked directly to Paul, Triple H, and he treated us with the utmost respect. A huge factor in our decision was that we wanted to be players on his team. We wanted to be a part of the WWE machine, specifically with him leading the charge. That to me was something that was always at the front of our minds.”
