Create-A-Pro Wrestling has recently announced the first post-WWE booking for Tye Dillinger, who is bringing back the name he first used on the indies years ago – Shawn Spears. Dillinger also used this name when he worked WWE’s developmental territories at Ohio Valley Wrestling & Florida Championship Wrestling from 2006-2008. He would use The Gavin Spears Name when he debuted for WWE’s ECW brand in 2008, where he worked until being released in January 2009.
Dillinger will be in action at The Create-A-Pro Event in Lynbrook, NY on Friday, May 31st. Create-A-Pro is a school and promotion run by WWE’s Curt Hawkins & WrestlePro’s Pat Buck.
As previously reported, Dillinger recently took to Twitter, which is about one week after his WWE release and announced that he is now accepting bookings for wrestling events after May 31st, which is six days after AEW Double Or Nothing. He is taking bookings for signings and other appearances now. Promoters can e-mail him at [email protected] for more information.
