Being from the streets of Detroit. Dan fought all his life. An orphan since the age of 12. Dan scratched and clawed and bled for everything he got. He was a real deadly man when you crossed him. Everyone in his city and his high school knew how tenacious he was. When he graduated high school, he went directly into MMA. Getting a reputation as being a merciless beast. Trained by UFC Legends Randy Couture, Tito Ortiz, Ken Shamrock, and Dan 'The Beast' Severn. From 2014 to 2019, he went from underground MMA fights to Bellator MMA fights. That's where he met Valerie Loureda. (Now known as Lola Vice). When Valerie signed with WWE. Dan was happy for her. But soon joined her as early as February 2023. He debuted in NXT Vengeance Day. He like Valerie worked his ass off, on night 2 of NXT Summer Breakin' 2024 on April 30. He beat the hell out of Oba Femi and Ivar within an inch of their lives. Oba got steamed when he was given a shot at the NXT North American Championship at NXT Heatwave. They went at it like wild dogs. Not giving each other an inch. Pretty soon Dan had Oba in the Kimura Lock. He tried to fight out but eventually, Oba tapped out. Making Dan the new North American Champion. He was handed the championship and as a rare show of respect. Dan helped Oba up and raised his hand.
A week before Summerslam, Dan and Lola were brought up together to the main roster, to the Smackdown roster where Dan went through a small repackaging of his character. (More details in stats). If I were the Bloodline. I'd start looking for a new company real fast. Cause Dan will erase them. Brutally, violently, and extremely bloody.
