The duo consisting of Zack Gibson and James Drake have shown why they are one of the best in the world, by having great stints in both NXT and its counterpart in the UK. In 2022, they were revealed to be members of Joe Gacy's faction, The Schism. They ended up leaving the company in 2023.
At AEW All In last weekend, Gibson and Drake emerged following the conclusion of the tag team title three-way match. They came out to attack FTR, sending a message that they were also after the Young Bucks' title.

He is currently pursuing a Bachelor's degree in Multimedia Studies, which influenced his decision of taking up sports writing professionally, and has been an avid fan of the athletic theater since childhood. He believes readers deserve authentic and unique content and aims to report in a manner which pro wrestling fans can easily relate to.
Growing up, Enzo admired former world champions like AJ Styles, Will Ospreay, Bryan Danielson, Triple H, and Randy Orton for their finishing moves. As an adult, he started to appreciate their character work, as they juggled between heel and babyface gimmicks.
If allowed to produce one final storyline involving his idols, he would have Orton lock horns with John Cena, would be their one last big feud as both of them seem to be approaching the tail end of their careers.
Other than pro wrestling, Enzo enjoys keeping up with Basketball, Football, and Formula One. He also loves watching films, playing video games, and listening to music.
