====WWE Tough Enough IV (2015)====
Saraceno joined Season 6 of WWE Tough Enough. Described as a hard worker and the "pack leader" in group of contestants, Saraceno was the ninth elimination during the competition. Officials were impressed by his athleticism and conditioning, but noted his lack of promotion skills as a weak point. The WWE stated their willingness to still work with Saraceno if he was still interested in improving his work as a wrestler. There is no official word suggesting (yet) whether or not he will pursue professional wrestling.
