**Billed from** |  **Aberdeen, Washington**
 **Debut** | 2012

**Christopher Velez Jr.** (born February 11, 1995), better known by his ring name **Christopher Sabertooth**, is an American professional wrestler, actor, businessman, and television producer. He is currently signed to Omega Wrestling Alliance, Wrestleworld, Strong Style Wrestling, Pro Wrestling Nova, Project: Honor, Nexus Wrestling, Death Graps, and VICTORY Pro as an active competitor. He also serves as the showrunner for Olympus brand in OWA. He is the current OWA Spartan's Champion, Wrestleworld Shogun Champion, and Victory PRO Tag Team Champion with RD3 in his first reign.

## Early Life

Velez was born in Aberdeen, Washington where he would complete his primary education. He would go on to attend Grays Harbor College, being a part of their NCWA Wrestling team in 2010. His father served as the Head Coach for their Wrestling Athletics Team until his retirement in 2014. Sabertooth had a public fallout with his father over disagreements with his career choice. His father wanted him to pursue Amateur Wrestling and represent the country in the Olympics, but Sabertooth was adamant on becoming a Professional Wrestler.

He credits his childhood best friend, O'Shea for his passion in professional wrestling. O'Shea's passing would become a turning point in Sabertooth's life that would lead him down a treacherous road.

## Professional Wrestling Career

### **Early Career (2012-2013)**

Under his real name Christopher Velez, Sabertooth made his professional wrestling debut as part of the local circuit in Aberdeen. He would wrestle for small time promotions with little to no fanfare until an accident that would change his life.

#### **October 2012**

Before a wrestling show at a local high school gymnasium, Velez would have a physical altercation with a fellow wrestler Duncan Gracie over a disagreement. Moments later, Duncan would end up losing his life in a robbery gone wrong with the blame mistakenly put on Sabertooth for which he would be imprisoned. There were circumstantial evidence in the parking lot, where the incident took place, that pointed fingers towards Sabertooth which would later be used as evidence in the trial that proceeded. Sabertooth would wrongfully be charged of second degree manslaughter that would have him imprisoned in Washington State Penitentiary until his proof of innocence in May 2013. His best friend turned Police Office, O'Shea, would be an integral part of his acquittal of the crime, finding the actual culprit. Tragically, O'Shea would lose his life pursuing the assailant that had killed Duncan. Sabertooth would be released from Prison in May 2013 but the loss of his best friend and the traumatic experience inside the prison would have him stay away from wrestling for the rest of 2013.

### **Return to Wrestling - Total Carnage Wrestling (2014)**

Velez would make his return to wrestling under the ring name **Christopher Sabertooth**, as part of Total Carnage Wrestling. TCW was his first major wrestling promotion that would see him become an early fan favorite competing against the likes of The Special One, Sports Critic, Rocky to critical acclaim. He would go on to become TCW Champion until the closure of the company in late 2014.

### **North Atlantic Wrestling (2015-2016)**

Velez would sign with North Atlantic Wrestling in early 2015, crediting it as the place where he found his voice. He would go on to form a major rivalry against Noah Hanson that would later be revisited in a different promotion years down the line. As part of NAW, Sabertooth would start a partnership with a fellow wrestler, Rocky Hollywood. Together they'd be known as the Hollywood Cabinet, having a short stint in other promotions such as Next Gen Wrestling where they would reign as Tag Team Champions. Towards the tail end of his run in NAW, Sabertooth would introduce the moniker **Havoc,** donning the face paint for the first time after a televised mental breakdown in his feud with Noah Hanson. As Havoc, he would go on to be unbeaten for the rest of 2015 leading to his first championship success in NAW as the Horizon Champion. Havoc's unbeaten run would come to an end in a winner takes all ladder match against NAW Legacy Champion Noah Hanson, falling short to the world champion. That would be Havoc's last appearance as part of NAW leading to his 2 year hiatus from wrestling.

### **Hiatus from wrestling (2016-2018)**

Velez would take a two year long hiatus from wrestling after his last stint as Havoc in NAW causing him issues in his personal life. Havoc's influence was leaking out to his personal relationships causing him mental distress. Velez credits these two years as a necessary path of self-discovery to finally come to terms with the loss of his best friend, O'Shea, which he indirectly blamed himself for. In an interview with Chris Van Vliet in 2019, Velez would recount these years as the *hardest* *period in his life.*

### **Second return to wrestling - Omega Wrestling Alliance (2018-present)**

#### **Debut on Kingdom (2018)**

Velez would make his second return to pro wrestling after signing with Omega Wrestling Alliance as part of Kingdom as Christopher Sabertooth. He would make his successful debut in a triple threat match that included Isaac Thornton, who would go on to become an early rival in his OWA career. Sabertooth would take part in the first PPV event in OWA, Hardcore Havoc competing to be crowned the inaugural Spartan Champion in an Ultimate X match, which was eventually won by Scotty Adams. Sabertooth would continue to unsuccessfully challenge Scotty Adams for the title on the following PPV in a Fatal Fourway match that included the likes of Isaac Thornton and Jon McAdams.

#### **Olympus - OWA Television Championship (2018-2019)**

Sabertooth would be drafted to Olympus and immediately enter the OWA Television Championship title picture competing against the likes of Tarah Nova, Gareth Cason, and Bull Connors. At Boiling Point, he would be unsuccessful in winning contender ship for the Television Championship. He would go on to defeat Andre Virgo at Burning Sky, earning himself a chance at the then Television Champion, Gareth Cason. At Civil War, Sabertooth would defeat Gareth Cason to become the second OWA Television Champion. During this time, Phantom Troupe would make their debut on Friday Nights engaging in a battle against the rest of the Olympus roster culminating at Revelations where Sabertooth would successfully defend his title against PT's Saul Omen.

At the beginning of 2019, Sabertooth would end up dropping the title to Miltiades, losing on his second defense. At Clash of the Titans, Sabertooth would unsuccessfully challenge for the Omega Heavyweight Championship against Jacob Senn.

#### **Return to Kingdom (2019)**

After failing to capture the Omega Heavyweight Championship, Sabertooth would participate in qualifying matches for the Ascension to the Heaven's Briefcase match defeating Bull Connors at Scorched Earth. At Final Destination, Sabertooth would be unsuccessful at winning the ATTH Briefcase. Following FD, the second draft would take place where Sabertooth would be drafted to Kingdom.

Sabertooth would assist Jeff X in his feud against Nate Cage and Ground Zero following his Kingdom return. Jeff would in turn promise him a title shot, which would lead to Sabertooth contending for Jeff's Spartan Championship in a Fatal Fourway match at Boiling Point in an unsuccessful effort. During this time, Sabertooth would pursue the OWA 24/7 Championship winning the title 5 times in the process. After failing to capture the Spartan Championship, Sabertooth would set his eyes on the OWA World Championship, facing Aria Jaxon at Game Over once again in an unsuccessful attempt. These successive failure attempt in becoming world champion would drive Sabertooth to bring out the darkness that he tried to suppress over during his hiatus from the sport, culminating at Civil War where he would sabotage Team Kingdom attacking CM Nas. Sabertooth would go on to make his full turn into **Havoc** after defeating Finnegan Wakefield on the following Kingdom, using his opponent's blood as a crimson mask. Havoc would face Nas at Hardcore Havoc in a losing attempt, brutalizing Nas after the match.

#### **Ascension to the Heavens (2020)**

Havoc would take part in Clash of the Titans entering at Number 1 and breaking the previous Ironman record for the Clash at 72 minutes alongside entry number 2, Nate Cage; that would later be broken by Finnegan Wakefield in 2021. He would then enter Final Destination two years in a row as part of the Ascension to the Heaven's Briefcase match that he would end up winning. Havoc would tease cashing in the briefcase after the main event of Final Destination on the Omega Heavyweight Champion, Bull Connors. His plans would be thwarted by Bull's opponent of the night, Jeff X, a move that would set the tone for the next season to come.

#### **Ashes of the Wake (2020-2021)**

Havoc would compete on Atlantis Bar Brawl Invitational during Hardcore Havoc weekend continuing his rivalry against Jeff X. Here, Havoc would try to sway Jacob Knight into joining his cause as part of the Ashes of the Wake, offering him a baseball bat to hit Jeff across the face. Jacob Knight would end up joining Havoc alongside Maverick to form the Ashes. Havoc would continue to pursue the OWA World Championship, taking part in the Steel Asylum match at Boiling Point where Moongoose McQueen would successfully retain his championship.

#### **OWA World Championship (2020-2021)**

At Game Over, Havoc would face Reginald Dampshaw III for the right to become Kingdom's General Manager in a losing effort after an interference from Udy. On the same night, Jeff X would successfully defeat Moongoose McQueen to become the new OWA World Champion. During the post match celebration, Havoc would use Abholos's aid for cashing in the ATTH Briefcase and successfully becoming the new OWA World Champion.

Ashes of the Wake would wage war against Kingdom, wreaking havoc in their path that would lead to the formation of The Frontline. Together alongside Wolvesden, they'd partake in The Great War at Civil War where despite their winning efforts, Team Protectors of Kingdom would suffer a major loss after the sacrifice of Kenny Drake. Havoc would continue to successfully defend his championship against the likes of Miltiades at Clash of the Titans, Theodor Pavel and Moongoose McQueen on Kingdom.

In the main event of Final Destination 3, Havoc would face Jeff X and Arata Asakura in a triple threat match for his title. A match known for having the entire OWA locker room pour out in support and aid of Jeff en route of his victory to become the new OWA World Champion. The tyranny of Ashes would finally come to an end, in part of the betrayal of Maverick and Jacob Knight.

#### **Return of Christopher Sabertooth (2021-present)**

After losing the OWA World Championship, Havoc would engage in a storyline with Father Fiora who had promised to exorcise the demon inside of him. At Game Over, Fiora would defeat Havoc in a Baptism in Blood match after throwing Holy water at the demon. Despite his detractors, Fiora was successful in extracting Havoc out of Sabertooth's body. Christopher Sabertooth would go on to make his return as a loyal devotee of Fiora and his teachings, preaching change to the world through forgiveness.

Sabertooth and Fiora would collectively challenge Jeff X and Theodor Pavel for the OWA World and Outlaw championship at Boiling Point in a VisionQuest match. This match would play a vital role in changing Sabertooth's perspective over his peers that had chosen to alienate him after his run as Havoc, terrorizing the company. Sabertooth, now willing to forgive the people who he felt had wronged him, would approach Jason Long and challenge him to a non-title *"Respect is earned"* Strap Match at Hardcore Havoc, defeating him and earning the respect from his former friend. He would later resurface to help Jeff X after the ambush from Black Sun in the main event.

#### **Triple Crown and Grand Slam**

Sabertooth would try to rally the forces against the Black Sun, organizing The Festival. At this event, Jeff X would begrudgingly team up with Sabertooth to challenge for the OWA Tag Team Championships which they'd go on to win. This led to Sabertooth becoming the third Triple Crown in company's history alongside Tarah Nova, Aria Jaxon and Jeff X; who won the Triple Crown himself on the same night with the tag championship victory. Later on, the Elder Gods would make their presence known on Kingdom, diving the brand into four groups heading into Dimensional Warfare. Sabertooth would represent Jiyuu-SEKAI alongside Jodan Jonuchi, Finnegan Wakefield, and Jeff X at Civil War where they would fail to stop Arata Asakura and the Golden Dawn from winning the wishes from the Elder Gods.

In this match, Sabertooth would pin Azumi Goto to capture the OWA Outlaw Championship completing the Grand Slam. Sabertooth would put his body and soul on the line against the all-powerful Arata Asakura. Arata would end up killing Sabertooth with a lighting strike after a brave effort from Sabertooth where he would use the power of Havoc while retaining the consciousness of himself. Sabertooth alongside Jeff X would be banished to Hell after a wish from Jack Daito only to be brought back to life after Emmanuelle made her wish, disgusted by the acts of the Golden Dawn.

Heading into Clash, Sabertooth and Jeff would defend their Tag Team titles against JD Damon and Jason Long which would end in a Disqualification after Long attacked his opponents with a steel chair. In the Clash of the Titans, Sabertooth would make it down to the Final 3 along with Michael Bishop and Jacob Senn.

After finish second in Clash 2023, Sabertooth went on a mission to redeem himself as a singles star. This would come to fruition at Final Destination V where Chris would defeat Noah Krieger to become the Spartan's Champion.

### **Wrestleworld (2019-present)**

#### **Debut (2019)**

Sabertooth would be one of the first people to sign with the newly formed Wrestleworld, competing in its first PPV Violent Delights for the number one contendership of the American Dream Championship. Failing to win the contendership, Sabertooth would catch the attention of the European Architect, Babayka, who would ask him to bring his true self. Sabertooth would end up turning to **Havoc** challenging Babayka and Tristan Killebrew to be crowned the inaugural Wrestleworld European Champion, which he'd go on to win.

#### **Return as Sabertooth (2020)**

Havoc would defend his title successfully against the likes of Tristan Killebrew, and Babayka before dropping the belt at Dreamworld to Ozymandias. This would lead to Havoc being out of picture for the next couple of weeks before returning as Christopher Sabertooth. His return would be spoilt by Layne Driver who he'd lose to at By The Sword. Sabertooth would partake in the War of the Worlds match at the namesake PPV, getting eliminated by Animus. He'd engage in a storyline against Animus who continued to have his number, which would culminate in him teaming with Arata Asakura and Stephanie Matsuda against Layne Driver, Allesandro Devione, and Animus at Cero Miedo - defeating the group.

#### **Shogun Champion (2021-present)**

Sabertooth would challenge Emmanuelle at Chapter 30 for the Wrestleworld Shogun Championship in an unsuccessful effort after an interference from the champion's posse. He'd get a rematch at Arcadia where he would successfully defeat Emmanuelle and become the new Shogun Champion.

### **World Wrestling Headquarters (2019-2021)**

Sabertooth would sign with WWH, quickly becoming the WWH Affliction Champion in his first PPV with the company. He'd continue to defend his title against former champion Vincent Lyons Jr. heading into the WWH Shogun Tournament. Representing USA, Sabertooth would go on to become the WWH Shogun earning himself a shot at the WWH World Champion, his former rival from NAW, Noah Hanson. In this feud, Havoc would make his presence known wanting revenge from Noah Hanson for what he did three years ago in NAW. Havoc would defeat Noah Hanson to become the WWH World Champion, continuing to reign for 383 days, becoming the longest reigning champion in company's history. During this historic reign, Havoc would get a chance to regain his WWH Affliction Championship at DreamState which he'd successfully do, becoming the first double champion in company's history. After a long reign as double champion, Havoc would fall victim to the Revolutionaries, created for the sole purpose of defeating the Ashes of the Wake led by Havoc. He'd end up losing the Affliction Championship to Vincent Lyons Jr. and the World Championship to Zolton ending his historic reign. He would eventually make his exit from the company in 2021.

At Bloodbath, Havoc would defeat Jason Long and Julius Fairweather in a Triple Threat Parking Lot Brawl for the Long's Prime Championship. He'd successfully defend his title against Druscilla White and Julius Fairweather.

He would go on to win the Casino Battle Royale at The Crowning II which would earn him the title of The Tyrant along with a crown to go with it. He would face PH Ascension Champion, the undefeated Billy Bennett, in a title unification match at Fallout: New Era. Havoc would defeat Bennett to become the Ascended Prime Champion.

### **Strong Style Wrestling (2018; 2019-2020; 2021-present)**

#### **Debut in 2018**

Sabertooth would have a short stint in 2018 version of SSW as part of Tres Comas Club. He'd earn a title shot as part of the TCC, that would be cut short due to the closure of the company.

#### **Return in 2019**

Havoc would make his return with the reopening of Strong Style Wrestling, tagging with his valet Jada Blaire where they'd win the SSW Tag Team Championships. He'd form his own faction, Akatsuki, adding the likes of Nico Borg to his group. The Akatsuki would later disband in favor of TRIGUN as Havoc, alongside Nico and Stark would terrorize the company leading into what was supposed to be the final SSW show ever, The Hight Path of Heaven, where the combined efforts of Darkane, Stark and Jacob Senn alongside other SSW members, he'd be sealed. After the end of the event where Nobi would wish for balance to be restored in the universe, Havoc would be freed from the seal that Jacob Senn placed on him.

#### **Second return in 2021-present day**

After a hiatus, SSW would make its return with Havoc also joining the fray against Arata Asakura and the Black Sun. The war would culminate in the main event of Wrestle Spirit 2 where Havoc alongside Ozymandias, Jason Long, Hana Nakajima, MYOJIN, and others under the banner of Freedom From God, would seemingly kill Arata Asakura. Havoc would sacrifice his powers in the process, returning back to being Christopher Sabertooth. Sabertooth continues to wrestle for SSW sporadically.

### **Sporadic Appearances (2020-present)**

Havoc has also appeared in Pro Wrestling Nova, ALPHA Wrestling during this period. He recently signed a contract with VICTORY Pro and is yet to make a debut.
