Riptide's Girl

Born in Honolulu, Hawaii. Daniel was a natural athlete. Anything with a ball or a board he mastered. He became Honolulu's multi-time amateur champion. However, when he was competing in his sixth professional competition. His board struck a reef and caused him to fly into the water. They got to him in time but his right leg was broken in two places and his left calf muscle needed immediate surgery to repair some of the damage. Even though he made a somewhat full recovery. Dan was unable to go into competition surfing. But he didn't let his inability to professionally surf stop him from finding another way to make a living. He went into professional wrestling. He studied with Rikishi, Afa, and the late Sika Anoai and learned rather fast. Pretty soon in mid-2021, after a little time in NWA and Impact (now TNA) he signed with WWE NXT. And met Cora Jade backstage after he took apart Grayson Waller. He won the NXT North American Championship 4 times and won the NXT Heavyweight Championship 5. He and Cora started dating in December of 2022. They've been together ever since. Now it's June 23, 2024. And Cora and Riptide are going to take over the Smackdown roster. One way or the other.
