The connection between Austin Aries and WWE is a shallow one. In case you didn’t know, there used to be a connection between Aries and WWE that many don’t know about.

Back in 2012, WWE in association with THQ released their WWE ’12 video game. Road to WrestleMania was a notable mode in the game and it had a character named Jacob Cass in it.
