In late 2019, Atlas signed with WWE, and reported to NXT in January 2020. He became the third wrestler to win both of those awards in the same year. He was named the 2019 Southern California Wrestler of the Year and Most Outstanding Wrestler in Southern California. Jake Atlas debuted in 2016 and won the 2017 Southern California Rookie of the Year Award, becoming the first openly gay wrestler to do so. Atlas also expressed to us that he wanted to thank all of the fans who have supported him on his journey so far and that while he won’t be wrestling, he isn’t going anywhere and will still be regularly updating his social media with whatever he is doing on his next adventure. When we spoke to Atlas, he said he was not doing any interviews about stepping away from wrestling but wanted to thank Santino Bros, Joey, and Sylvia Munoz for all they’ve done for him. I hope that friends & fans I’ve made alike continue to support me no matter what.

I just learned how to hide it really well. Unfortunately, it was unhealthy for me the entire time. At 26 years old, I’ve got my entire life ahead of me & I’m choosing to explore completely different industries to find my passion again. I’m stepping away from wrestling completely right now so please don’t ask me to do interviews/appearances.
I didn’t do much, but what I did was fun. Thank you to anyone who did support me for 5 years. Take your mental health seriously, both for yourselves & for each other, because we only have one life to live. I’m not concussed or “banged up.” I simply just can’t keep going anymore.
