Exemplary Bio

From birth, Kairo James Peralta was destined to become a warrior. Born in September 1, 2001, into an disadvantaged situation, the product of an extramarital one night stand between his mother, Noemi Peralta-Davis, and a Spanish father he never had the opportunity to get to know. The fourth of five siblings, KJ could always feel a difference between him and his siblings. His skin, never as fair as his siblings. He was the only child to carry his mother’s Peralta maiden name. By the time he was five, the pressure of the decisions his mother made in the past caused the natural ending of the relationship between his mother and Peter Davis. The divorce led to many challenges for the family. His mother struggled to feed the family, keeping the electricity of the quaint two bedroom home she could barely afford to take out a mortgage to buy. He watched as the stress of her situation destroyed his mother.While his older siblings would eventually get the opportunity to help, Kairo always felt helpless not being able to help the family stay afloat. As he grew older, the differences between him and his siblings were not the only thing that would cause him emotional strife. The older that Kairo got the more cruel kids became about the differences between him and the people he called brother and sister. He was constantly the victim of ridicule, it was a difficult thing for a young child to process. While his siblings never directly defended him, they did teach him ways in which he could defend himself if things were to ever get physical. This would happen on multiple occasions from Kairo from the ages of nine to thirteen. His fighting had gotten so bad, he was nearly sent to reform school.By thirteen, his mother felt that he was on the wrong path in life. For his own good, Noemie sent him away from Oakland, to live with her sister, his Aunt Teresa in Alamo Heights, Texas near the city of San Antonio, Texas. There, KJ was given more opportunities than he was ever afforded in his life in Oakland. With his Aunt Teresa, KJ was exposed to more than just bullying and gang violence. He was able to learn an appreciation for the arts, and sports… two things in which he took a liking to both.Once he reached High School, Kairo was a prominent school athlete, who also participated in multiple other extra curricular activities. He took to wrestling like a glove, it became his favorite activity to participate in. For the first time, he found something that he excelled in, and had the support behind him to make him secure in doing it. Not only was he secure in wrestling, he became secure in everything.While he was not perfect, fighting was still something that he leaned into as a way to settle scores, he would never do it in the confines of a judgemental structure. Instead, he would find himself spending large swaths of free-time in the local MMA gym, picking up some extra skills to up his level from just someone who happened to fight well on the streets. Upon graduation from High School, he was awarded a scholarship to wrestle for the University of Texas. While he did have other offers, he enjoyed the life that he grew into, and gladly accepted. In college, he majored in Sports Medicine as he competed for the university’s wrestling program. Through his experiences in college, he would meet both Paxton Prince and his then girlfriend Selena Sharpe, becoming close friends with both individuals.Unfortunately, KJ would give it all up, dropping out of college, and returning home to Oakland. There, he would aid his mother and step-father in taking care of his youngest sister, Marina, who was now paralyzed from a tragic car accident she experienced on her seventeenth birthday. Using his knowledge of sports medicine, he would work with her between her sessions with licensed therapists. During this period, Kairo would gain a further understanding of where he came from, and why his mother kept his paternity at bay from him for so long. The old habits of his early life unfortunately would come back into the fray. Fighting continued to become an art for him, using it as a form of expression now that wrestling had fallen to the wayside.While still in California, KJ would get discovered in something he never considered, modelling. He knew that he was an attractive guy, but he never thought about leaning into such a dynamic art. While doing this, he also would return back to Texas, taking time to transition his amateur experience into training for the professional wrestling world. While he trained with Paxton Prince for a few months, he eventually returned back to California to continue modeling and eventually becoming a personal trainer. Now, he’s looking to continue his journey to becoming one of the best professional wrestlers that this world has ever seen.
