Professional wrestling career

International promotions (2012–2019)

In June 2016, it was announced A-Kid would participate with Rod Zayas and Adam Chase in Chikara's King of Trios, as House White Wolf.[9] However, they would be defeated by House British Strong Style (Pete Dunne, Trent Seven and Tyler Bate) in the first round.[10] Next year, he participated in the Chikaras Rey de Voladores tournament,[11] but was defeated in the finals by Air Wolf.[10] The following years, A-Kid and Adam Chase (later, Carlos Romo) wrestled in the British circuit as Team White Wolf, winning the Attack! Tag Team Championships.[12] They also faced each other in RevPro 7th Anniversary Show.[13]

WWE (2019–present)

A-Kid made his WWE debut alongside fellow wrestler Carlos Romo on April 20, 2019, where they were defeated by Gallus (Mark Coffey and Wolfgang) during a set of NXT UK tapings.[14] On October 17, 2019, A-Kid was announced as having signed for the NXT UK brand.[15] He made his singles debut on October 31, 2019, defeating Kassius Ohno.[16] On November 26, 2020, A-Kid became the first ever NXT UK Heritage Cup Champion by defeating Trent Seven at the finals.[17] On the May 20, 2021 edition of NXT UK, A-Kid dropped the NXT UK Heritage Cup to Tyler Bate. On the October 14 episode of NXT UK, A-Kid faced Ilja Dragunov for the NXT UK Championship but was defeated. In July 2022, Ruiz was repackaged as a superhero masked wrestler named Axiom.[18][19]
