Early Life

Zachary Wentz, originally named Zachary Green, was born on April 29, 1994, in Lima, Ohio, United States. Alongside his best friend Clayton Jackson, he joined the Cincinnati-based promotion Rockstar Pro-Wrestling to pursue their shared dream of becoming professional wrestlers. There, they received initial training and mentorship from professional wrestler Dave Crist, which greatly influenced Wentz's career development.

Professional Wrestling Career

Independent Promotions

Zachary Wentz made his professional wrestling debut in 2014, quickly rising through the independent circuit alongside Dezmond Xavier. The duo initially formed the faction "Scarlet & Graves," which also included Dave Crist, JT Davidson, and Brittany Blake. They found early success, capturing the CZW World Tag Team Championship twice and the All-American Wrestling Tag Team Championship once.

Following the disbandment of Scarlet & Graves in 2017, Wentz and Xavier forged a new alliance by establishing the formidable faction, The Rascalz. They later expanded the group by adding Trey Miguel and Myron Reed. Together, they secured multiple championships, including the PWR Tag Team Championship, the WC Big Top Tag Team Championship, and the SWE Tag Team Championship.

Wentz's most notable achievements came in Pro Wrestling Guerrilla (PWG), where The Rascalz captured the PWG World Tag Team Championship by defeating The Young Bucks and The Chosen Bros in a three-way match. They retained the titles for a record-breaking 1,255 days, successfully defending them against top teams like Lucha Brothers, Violence Unlimited, and LAX. They relinquished their titles upon Xavier and Wentz signing with WWE in 2021, marking the end of a remarkable reign.

TNA / Impact Wrestling (2017–2020)

On August 17, 2017, Wentz debuted in Impact Wrestling, first losing a tag match with Jason Cade to oVe and then teaming with Jon Bolen in a defeat against the Latin American Exchange (LAX). In 2018, as part of The Rascalz with Desmond Xavier and Matt Sydal, he lost several matches, including a tornado match at Impact Wrestling Revolver. He later participated in the Doug Chevalier Memorial Gauntlet and concluded the year with a win over Jeremiah at Rockstar Pro's Ohio Versus Everything event.

In early 2019, The Rascalz, comprising Wentz, Xavier, and Trey Miguel, along with Willie Mack and Rich Swann, emerged victorious in a ten-man tag match against Ethan Page, Matt Sydal, and oVe. The following week, they faced a defeat against The Lucha Brothers and Eddie Edwards & Eli Drake but managed to secure a victory against The Desi Hit Squad. At Slammiversary 2020, The Rascalz (Dez and Wentz) lost an open challenge to the Motor City Machine Guns. They departed from Impact Wrestling in November 2020, and their trio disbanded after Trey Miguel’s solo return.

World Wrestling Entertainment - WWE (2020 - 2022)

On December 2, 2020, Wentz signed with WWE and joined the Performance Center. He emerged in NXT on January 13, 2021, under the moniker Nash Carter, forging the formidable tag team MSK alongside Wes Lee. The duo swiftly captured the 2021 Men's Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic and seized the NXT Tag Team Championship at NXT TakeOver: Stand & Deliver in a fiercely contested triple threat match. After successfully defending the title for 201 days, their reign was brought to an end by Imperium at NXT TakeOver: Halloween Havoc.

MSK regained the NXT Tag Team Championship for the second time at NXT Stand & Deliver 2022 by defeating Imperium and the Creed Brothers in a triple-threat tag team match. However, their reign was cut short when the titles were vacated following severe allegations made by Wentz's ex-wife, Kimber Lee, and the circulation of a controversial photo depicting Wentz mimicking Adolf Hitler

Return to TNA / Impact Wrestling (2023–present)

On June 29, 2023, Wentz reemerged in Impact Wrestling with a surprise attack on Chris Sabin, marking the return of The Rascalz as a heel faction. On August 27, Wentz and Trey Miguel captured the Impact World Tag Team Championship, but their 55-day reign ended when they were defeated by ABC at the 2023 Bound For Glory. Shortly thereafter, Impact Wrestling announced its rebranding as Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA), and in December, both Wentz and Miguel renewed their contracts.

On July 4, 2024, TNA Impact! featured a no-contest match between Trey Miguel and Leon Slater, which was interrupted by an attack from Charlie Dempsey of NXT’s No Quarter Catch Crew (NQCC). Dempsey defeated Wentz on July 11 with interference from NQCC stablemate Myles Borne, leading to a six-man tag match on July 18, where Wentz, Miguel, and Kushida lost. Wentz later reunited with Wes Lee on NXT, and at the 2024 Slammiversary, The Rascalz secured a victory over NQCC.

On the August 8 edition of TNA Impact!, Wentz secured his place in the Ultimate X match at Emergence with a victory over Dante Chen and KC Navarro. Then, on August 30, he captured the TNA X Division Championship for the first time by triumphing in the Ultimate X match against Mike Bailey, Hammerstone, Jason Hotch, Laredo Kid, and NXT's Riley Osborne.

Return to WWE (2024 – present)

On July 9, 2024, Wentz and Trey Miguel made a surprise return to NXT alongside Wes Lee, and The Rascalz went on to defeat Gallus. During the 2024 NXT: The Great American Bash, Lee and Wentz were unsuccessful in their bid for the NXT Tag Team Championships held by Nathan Frazer and Axiom. Following this, Lee betrayed both Miguel and Wentz, culminating in a match between Wentz and Lee at the 2024 NXT No Mercy, where Wentz emerged victorious and became the first TNA wrestler to win a match at a WWE Premium Live Event.
