**Zedekiah Diamant** (born December 27, 1994) is an American professional wrestler. He is currently signed to Black Label Wrestling, where he is one half of the Drama Alarmers with El Gran Diamant.

## Early life

Diamant was born in Santa Monica, California on December 27, 1994. He is the youngest child of Heather Lieberman and John Kenzie. He later took his then stepfather André Diamant's name. Diamant grew up with a half brother named Ezekiel, who is known professionally as El Gran Diamant.

Diamant attended Santa Monica High School, where he was an amateur wrestler. There, he would meet Jack Haze and the two began training their professional wrestling training together.

## Professional wrestling career

### **Early career (2015)**

Before graduating high school, Diamant and Haze took part in and passed a tryout camp for West Coast Championship Alliance (WCCA). On June 14 at WCCA's Hollywood is Burning event, Diamant and Haze made their debut. The two defeated the team of Zach Jordan and Liam Thomas. Afterward, Diamant and Haze wrestled various times for the promotion, and began working together as a tag team.

### **West Coast Championship Alliance (2015–2016)**

Once signing contracts with WCCA, Diamant and Haze also began breaking out in singles action. In September, Diamant and Haze took part in the 2015 Faces of the New Americana, a tournament showcasing the promotion's newest signees. Diamant made it to the semi-finals of the tournament, where he picked up a win over Matthew Silveri, one half of the WCCA Tag Team Champions. Haze would advance to the finals, only to be defeated by SOBRE2SIS.

#### **Tag Team Championship pursuit (2016)**

Diamant and Haze would continue to make sporadic singles appearances throughout the month of November. At WCCA's For Honor and Glory event on December 20 2015, Diamant and Haze took part in a triple threat tag team match, where they were defeated by the Navarro Brothers. Frustrated by their shortcomings thus far in the company, Haze issued a challenge to the current Tag Team Champions, Matthew Silveri and Dana Arlin. Diamant claimed they were owed the opportunity since he beat Silveri at the FotNA tournament. A week later on social media, general manager Morgan Pryce would grant the match to Diamant and Haze, only if they beat the Navarro Brothers in a number one contenders match. On January 10 2016, Diamant and Haze defeated the Navarro Brothers. After the match, they were attacked by the Tag Team Champions, their reason being that Diamant and Haze were "nothing but glorified jobbers" and "can't compete on [their] level".

The following week on January 17, both teams competed in singles action. Diamant defeated Arlin, and later on, Silveri defeated Haze. At WCCA's California Love event on February 14, Diamant and Haze defeated Silveri and Arlin to become the WCCA Tag Team Champions. Diamant and Haze would continue wrestling for various promotions in the West Coast, building their popularity and honing their wrestling skills in the process. The team would return to WCCA for the Spring Awakening event on March 22, where they would lose the Tag Team Championships.

### **Black Label Wrestling (2016–present)**

#### **Various feuds and the Black Label Collective tournament** **(2016–2017)**

In early May, Diamant was announced as part of BLK LBL's line-up for the event Volume 44, taking place on July 16. At the event, Diamant defeated Avalon.
