## History

### **Indies (2016)**

Monk started off his career in the independent scene in England starting a local promotion in his hometown called the WWE Prediction Federation (WPF). He set up the WPF at Wrestlemania 32 and ran the promotion until before Hell in a Cell, where he left the WPF to be signed to an exclusive deal to appear in LLR. During his time at WPF LMonkA7X won there only championship, The WPF Championship, at Backlash of 2016 and held it until his debut in LLR, at this point in time, the WPF Championship was vacated.

### **LLR (2016-2019)**

#### **Debut**

Monk debuted at Hell in a Cell (2016) in the Loser Leaves Reddit Free For All as a heel where he predicted all but one correct result, placing second in the match. With such an impressive debut and no clear contender to TheMockingDead1's Intercontinental Championship, YourBuddyChurch granted Monk a 1 on 1 match at Survivor Series (2016) for the title.

#### **The GSC**

Shortly after Hell in a Cell Monk was a founding member of LLR's first ever faction, The Gifts of the Squared Circle. Monk, the\_gift\_of\_g2j and TheFalconArrow formed the faction in an effort to win all the championships at the time in LLR at the next PPV, Survivor Series, and try a hostile take over the promotion from YourBuddyChurch.

At Survivor Series Monk drew with TheMockingDead1 and therefore failed in his attempt to win the Intercontinental Championship. As a result Monk was exiled from the GSC and replaced by im\_a\_one\_man\_banned. Monk took this hit extremely hard and in the process turned babyface.

#### **Singles Pursuits**

Monk competed against YourBuddyChurch, TheDezoo and im\_a\_one\_man\_banned in a fatal four way at TLC (2016) to decide a new No1 contender for championship of the winners choosing. Monk and Church both won the match by pinning opponents at the same time, therefore both men were awarded title shots. Monk used his shot to once again try to win the Intercontinental Championship.

At Roadblock Monk faced TheMockingDead1 and railrockrasslin in a triple threat for the title. The match ended in a draw when Monk tapped out TheMockingDead1 whilst railrockrasslin pinned him. Church ordered a match between Monk and railrockrasslin on the following Raw to determine the new champ and in this match railrock won narrowly beating Monk.

This defeat affected Monk as a competitor and he slowly fell down the card, failing to win the Royal Rumble match, an Elimination Chamber Qualifier and a number one contenders match at Elimination Chamber (2017) to CTU\_Ranger\_Tranquilo. Monk then failed to win the LLR match at Wrestlemania 33.

#### **Comback as The Veteran**

After the\_gift\_of\_g2j was instated as the General Manager of Smackdown, he wanted to give a chance to some loyal predictors who hadn't had a chance to show their full potential, G2J singled Monk out as one of these competitors and put him in a number one contenders match at Payback (2017) for a championship match at Backlash (2017). Monk took on King-of-Zing at this event and defeated her, earning a shot at the Intercontinental Championship. The current champion at the time, SlowbroJJ had declared his intentions to vacate the Intercontentinental Championship at Backlash to contend for the Undisputed Heavyweight Championship, and that his Advantage member Immathrodis would represent The Advantage in this match.

Monk took on the persona of a grizzled veteran who was getting a second chance in the promotion on was not going to let it go to waste.

In the build up to the match on an episode of Smackdown, Monk managed to defeat SlowbroJJ, earning his respect in the meantime and ending his impressive streak.

At Backlash, Monk faced Immathrodis for the vacant Intercontinental Championship. After a grueling match Monk finally accomplished a feat that had eluded him on several occasions and won the title. On this night Monk also won a MitB qualifying match against King-of-Zing and CTU\_Ranger\_Tranquilo.

As tensions boiled between SlowbroJJ and VacantForHOF, Monk decided to align with Vacant in the newly formed Contingency, as super group of faces who waged war on The Advantage in an effort to eliminate the stable from LLR.

At the next PPV, Extreme Rules (2017), Monk faced off against the number one contender, LemonStain inside of a steel cage. This was the first steel cage match in LLR and Monk defeated LemonStains via pinfall to retain the championship. However in the process Monk fell off the cage landing on his head causing him to lose conciousness and suffer a head injury.

#### **Joining The Advantage**

In the build up to Extreme Rules, weird promos was deliver to the LLR community by a person named Atra\_Mors, this person claimed that he would shock the world and plague LLR. This person also claimed to be a well known member of the community and in fact was LMonkA7X the whole time.

Later that night at Extreme Rules, Monk shocked everyone by turning on The Contingency and aligning with SlowbroJJ and The Advantage, causing SlowbroJJ to win the match for The Advantage. Monk also debuted a change in gimmick, he wore a Plague Doctors outfit and also became known as 'The Black Death'.

#### **Injury**

On the Smackdown after Extreme Rules, Monk and TheDezoo tagged against Vicious and Delicious, during the match Monk took a stiff clothesline from LemonStains and aggrevated the head injury he suffered at Extreme Rules.

On the following Smackdown, Monk called out Shriramrishi and LemonStains. Monk called out Rishi on an episode of Raw, Rishi responded with supernatural forces along with SenorMeekmahan which spooked Monk slightly and had SlowbroJJ run away. On Smackdown Rishi tried to call out Monk by beating up people dressed in his attire. Monk secretly blended in and delivered a Plague-Bomb to Rishi. At Battleground Monk defeated Rishi and ended the feud for the meantime.
