Summary

Kit Wilson said one of his creative ideas during his singles run on WWE SmackDown was a James Bond-style character.

Wilson found himself working on his own after Elton Prince suffered an injury, and he eventually settled into the "toxic" persona he brought to television. But while reflecting on that stretch, Wilson said that was not the only direction he had in mind.

Speaking with Cody Rhodes, Wilson said Pierce Brosnan was his Bond and that he believed there was something in that 007-inspired presentation he could have tapped into on screen.

Quote from Kit Wilson

"Pierce Brosnan is my Bond. One of my pitches was one a 007-esque (character). I really felt like there was something I could channel."

What The Pitch Says About Kit Wilson's SmackDown Run

Wilson's comment gives a small glimpse into how he was thinking about his solo TV role once Pretty Deadly was temporarily sidelined. Instead of treating that stretch as filler, he was clearly looking for a character hook strong enough to stand on its own.

For WWE fans, that also helps explain why Wilson leaned so hard into larger personality traits during that run. The Bond-style idea never made it to air, but the quote shows he was actively trying to find a version of himself that could break through while Elton Prince was out.
