After taking a hiatus in mid-2022, he returned in November under a mysterious gimmick of Scrypts in WWE's developmental brand NXT.

Sidney Iking Bateman[2] was born one of eight siblings in Memphis, Tennessee, on March 13, 1993, but was raised in St. Louis, Missouri.

[3] He played football and basketball with circus as a side hobby, but gave those up when, at the age of 16, he joined a gang called the Crips from the 50 Hundred GST (Geraldine Street Thugs).

[5][6] On the January 22, 2021, episode, Reginald made his in-ring debut in an intergender match, facing Banks in a losing effort.

A week later, Reggie lost the title back to Brooke after he laid down in the ring despite kicking out of a two-count twice, as well as playing mind games.

On the April 18 episode of Raw, during their wedding, Reggie pinned his partner to win his fourth 24/7 title, losing to Tamina shortly after.

[19] More vignettes aired over the next few weeks and on the November 22 episode of NXT, Reggie debuted for the brand as the mysterious Scrypts, defeating Guru Raaj, changing his ring name and gimmick in the process.

[26] On May 21, 2024, it was announced that Bateman, now going by Sidney Akeem, would make his debut for Game Changer Wrestling (GCW) on June 15.
