One of AEW's latest recruits Colt Cabana has managed to become a key figure in most wrestling promotions that he has been a part of, besides WWE. Cabana was tearing it up in ROH, especially with his then close friend CM Punk before he made the jump in 2007.

Cabana had to work his way through OVW, where he had a rather decent run, winning multiple Championships in the process. He had to bide almost a year before making his main roster debut through SmackDown in August 2008 under the name of Scotty Goldman where he lost to Brian Kendrick.

He had a rather uninspiring few weeks on the product before going on a five-month hiatus soon after. Upon his return in February 2009, he was catapulted into a Battle Royal for Elimination Chamber qualification but would be the first to be eliminated. Two weeks later, we would be released by WWE to bring his misery in the company to a rather unceremonious end.
