Sidney Iking Bateman (born March 13, 1993) is an American professional wrestler and former acrobat. He is currently performing on the independent circuit – predominantly for Game Changer Wrestling (GCW) under the ring name Sidney Akeem. He is known for his time in WWE, where he worked with the ring name Reginald Thomas (which later shortened to Reginald and Reggie) on their main roster, and Scrypts (stylized as SCRYPTS) on their NXT brand.

Bateman signed with WWE in 2020 and began appearing on the SmackDown brand under the ring name Reginald Thomas, which was soon shortened to Reginald, a French sommelier. He later dropped the sommelier gimmick and his name was changed to Reggie. While on WWE's main roster, he became a four-time WWE 24/7 Champion—his 112-day first reign was the longest reign for the now-defunct title. After taking a hiatus in mid-2022, he returned in November under a mysterious gimmick of Scrypts in WWE's developmental brand NXT.
