It is not an easy task to make a name for oneself in WWE and be recognizable years after retirement. While there are many stars who accomplished a lot and became popular, others gained notoriety due to their appearance or a particular feud. One such former superstar is A-Train, who once had a feud in WWE with Brock Lesnar. Recently, Matt Bloom aka A-Train was seen during a heated confrontation on WWE NXT.
Matt Bloom, who we famously know from his various in-ring names in WWE, was a seasoned performer for the company. During his 17 years as an active pro wrestler, he battled against several huge names like ‘The Beast Incarnate’ and The Undertaker.
Whatever the case in the past, many of the fans didn’t know he was still with the promotion till they saw him in the NXT segment.
