Sidney Akeem

Best known for his WWE stint where he worked under the ring names Reggie and Scrypts, Sidney Iking Bateman built his career on exceptional athleticism rooted in his circus background. A former Cirque du Soleil performer with seven years at Circus Harmony and three years in Montreal, his signature style seamlessly blends technical wrestling with high-flying acrobatics. He captured the WWE 24/7 Championship four times, with his first reign lasting 112 days as the longest for the now-defunct title, cementing his legacy in WWE’s lower card despite limited creative direction.

He currently performs on the independent circuit under the ring name Sidney Akeem, carving out a more substantial role than his WWE stint afforded. Akeem has been working on deals with AEW and Ring of Honor, with notable performances including a victory over El Hijo Del Vikingo at GCW vs The People. Operating primarily through Game Changer Wrestling and the independent scene, he has rebuilt momentum and credibility among hardcore fans seeking deeper storytelling than his previous gimmick-heavy roles provided.
