## Early life

Reynalt was born in Antwerp, Belgium and raised by his single mother, Louise after his father died seven days before his sister Annette was born. Though Reynalt insists he was raised with an easy life, the true story shows he was raised in poverty and was often picked on due to his shabby looks and being unable to keep up with the rest of his classmates. In his secondary school, he heard one particular bully was spreading rumors about his mother and discovered that the bully was a part of the school's wrestling team. So Reynalt tried out for the team and found himself a spot where he aimed to prove himself the strongest and beat up the school bully. Though the bully seemed to be one step ahead of him. That was when Reynalt overheard him confessing to some friends that he covered his clothes with grease to prevent Reynalt from grabbing him. Angered, Reynalt decided the only way to beat the cheater was to be a better cheat. He won't tell what happened but whatever he did gave the bully a broken nose and two black eyes. Reynalt would continue his cheating ways to improve his school performance, that was until he reached his third cycle when he was caught and suspended from school.

## Previous Wrestling Promotion (2020 - 2022)

Undeterred, Reynalt entered the Indie Wrestling scene with the aim to reach the high life, no matter what tactics he had to use to get noticed. He was first signed on to the Brussels Indie Wrestling Federation where he quickly developed a reputation as a childish troublemaker, trying to sabotage his competitors even during training with such methods including tickling his competitors when they were doing chin-ups or lifting weights and adding floor wax to the treadmills. His behavior didn't improve in the ring as he smuggled different illegal tools to give himself an edge such as poisonous spit, body armor under his clothes, brass knuckles in his gloves and even bags of flour to blind his opponents. Despite being universally hated by the Federation, the audience found an ironic love for his unrelenting energy and the audacity he had to pull off his stunts. However, his antics would go too far when it was discovered in one match he had horseshoes stuffed in his gloves and dislocated his opponent's jaw as a result. After this discovery, Reynalt was blacklisted from the company.

## CPW (2023 - present)

However, luck was on Reynalt's side as he drew the attention of the heads of Covenant Pro Wrestling and was given a contract. He was enthusiastic for the chance to spread more chaos in the wrestling world despite never having been outside of Europe before. Though his contract did come with a few stipulations, he couldn't be allowed in a room on CPW property without cameras filming him, he had to have his clothes inspected by the ref before entering the ring and he wasn't allowed to wear a shirt or gloves in the ring. This wouldn't deter Reynalt though, it just inspired him to be more sneaky with his cheating ways.

He made his suprise debut in the Uproar X Origins show, forcing his way into a match against Kenny Mitch and Caeser Stone. While he quickly showed the crowd why he was dubbed 'Mr. Cheater', gouging out eyes and slamming heads with chairs, Reynalt would pay for his hubris by being tapped out by Kenny Mitch. He wouldn't make a return until Origins 14, facing the returning Bob Caldwell. While Reynalt managed to slip Mama's Milk past the referee, once again the cheater didn't prosper as he was tapped out by Caldwell. On Origins 15, he accepted Hell's challenge, only to be quickly felled by a low blow from Hell. On the final Origins episode, Reynalt face Nova Matthews, feeling confident due to Nova last just over a minute in his last showing. However, this confidence was severely misplace as Nova made quick work of Reynalt, launching Mr. Cheater into the table to secure the win.

His Uproar debut didn't fare him much better. Though his debut meant a new and more easy to listen to theme, Reynalt entered the Last Survivor Pre-Show Men's Battle Royale with a lot of undeserved confidence and much to the chagrin of the announcer. He swung around and kicked like a mad man, only to be the first of the men to be eliminated.

Still, Mr. Cheater refused to give up and issued an open challenge for episode 33 after a bout of petty poster graffiti. Dr. Wrestling Jr. accepted the challenge and joined Reynalt in the ring. During the match, Reynalt tried and failed multiple times to take off the luchador’s mask. After pulling out every dirty trick he knew, Reynalt took the good doctor down with a Totally Legit Strike, securing his first win in CPW. He later teamed up with Pinkish on CPW Live to take on Harvey Reynolds and John Mac. Though it was a tough bout, the pair ultimately lost. Though Reynalt did find Pinkish to be a solid partner. On the next CPW Live show, Reynalt faced Dr. Wrestling Jr's partner Johnny Gemini in a steel cage match as chosen by the audience. Gemini managed to successfully avenge his tag team partner by being the first to escape the steel cage.
