Professional wrestling career


In March 2019, it was announced Bloom was one of three recruits recently signed with WWE, and would report to the WWE Performance Center. He made his in-ring debut at a live event on May 3, 2019, teaming with fellow recruit Denzel Dejournette against Dan Matha and Riddick Moss in a losing effort. He continued wrestling at live events until March 2020, making his main roster debut on the April 10, 2020 episode of SmackDown, losing to Sheamus.
On September 14, 2021, he made his debut as a face on NXT with the new ring name Von Wagner, replacing Kyle O'Reilly, in a fatal four-way match for the vacant NXT Championship against LA Knight, Dunne and Tommaso Ciampa, which he lost. He then formed a tag team with O'Reilly, wrestling for the NXT Tag Team Championship at WarGames, being defeated by Imperium (Marcel Barthel and Fabian Aichner). After the match, Wagner attempted to attack O'Reilly from behind, but failed and got himself attacked instead, turning heel in the process. Two days later on NXT, Wagner defeated O'Reilly in a steel cage match.
Wagner acquired Mr. Stone as a manager in February 2022. On July 5, at NXT: The Great American Bash, Wagner began a feud with Solo Sikoa, culminating in a falls count anywhere match on the August 2 episode of NXT, which Wagner lost. On the October 4 episode of NXT, Wagner defeated Andre Chase to qualify for a ladder match for the NXT North American Championship at NXT Halloween Havoc on October 22, which was won by Wes Lee. The following month, Wagner faced the NXT Champion Bron Breakker, and failed to win the title from Breakker on the November 15 episode of NXT.
In June, after opening up about his childhood struggles to Mr. Stone and reigniting his feud with Breakker, Wagner and Stone both turned face, shortly after Breakker himself turned heel. At NXT: Heatwave on August 22, Breakker attacked Wagner before his scheduled match against Baron Corbin and bludgeoned Wagner with a set of steel steps on the September 5 episode of NXT. Wagner returned from injury at Halloween Havoc on October 31, attacking Breakker after his match against Stone. On April 22, 2024, it was reported that Wagner had been released from WWE.
