Early Life

Carlos Ruiz was born in the state of Madrid, Spain on May 9, 1997. He had been interested in pro wrestling since a very young age and decided to pursue a career here during his teenage years.

A-Kid Pro Wrestling Career

Early Career and the Indies (2016-2019)

In June 2016, A-Kid, alongside fellow wrestlers Rod Zayas and Adam Chase (Carlos Romo) joined Chikara's King of Trios tournament as Team White Wolf. However, their journey was cut short in the first round by the House Strong Style, composed of Pete Dunne, Trent Seven, and Tyler Bate. A-Kid participated in Chikara's Rey de Voladores tournament the following year. While he defeated a lot of names, he ultimately fell short of Air Wolf in the final match. The subsequent years saw A-Kid and Carlos Romo join forces as Team White Wolf on the British circuit, capturing the Attack! Tag Team Championship. Their partnership extended to a singles encounter against each other at the RevPro 7th Anniversary Show.

WWE Career

A-Kid and his fellow wrestler, Carlos Romo, stepped onto WWE's NXT UK brand on April 20, 2019, facing Gallus (Mark Coffey and Wolfgang) in their debut match. While they fell short in that encounter, on October 17, 2019, A-Kid was officially signed with the company. His singles debut on October 31st saw him triumph over Kassius Ohno. A-Kid then emerged victorious in the NXT UK Heritage Cup Tournament, defeating Trent Seven in the final match on November 26, 2020, to become the first-ever champion.

However, his reign as champion came to an end on May 20, 2021 against Tyler Bate. A-Kid's pursuit of championship glory continued on October 14th when he challenged Ilja Dragunov for the NXT United Kingdom Championship. Despite a valiant effort, he was unable to secure the title. In July 2022, A-Kid transformed, embracing a new identity as the superhero masked wrestler Axiom within the NXT brand. His debut on NXT 2.0 saw him defeat Dante Chen, showcasing his new persona and in-ring prowess. Axiom then entered a best-of-three series against the formidable Nathan Frazer. While he claimed victory in the first match, Frazer proved his worth in the subsequent matches, ultimately winning the series. A brief rivalry with Carmelo Hayes saw him fall short in their encounter, but he found redemption by defeating Hayes' friend Trick Williams.

At NXT Stand & Deliver, Axiom set his sights on the prestigious NXT North American Championship but was ultimately unsuccessful. He faced another defeat in the following episode against Wes Lee. He then defeated Scrypts in a singles match. This victory marked the beginning of an alliance, as Scrypts underwent a character shift, joining forces with Axiom. This partnership proved short-lived, as Scrypts shockingly betrayed Axiom on July 18th, aligning himself with the debuting Bronco Nima & Lucien Price during a scheduled match.

Axiom made his SmackDown debut on the November 17 episode, where he lost to Dragon Lee. At Deadline, he defeated Nathan Frazer in the kickoff show.
