Seth Dracul

Art Depiction of Seth

**Seth Dracul** is an original wrestling character made by me for use within wrestling games as part of my own wrestling universe with friends. He is mainly used within the WWE 2k games where he is called a CAW, after the Create A Wrestler mode.

He was made and created for fun and has been a secondary in the universe. In the universe, we follow Seth as he rises up in Japan and then struggles in WWE before putting himself together with help from his friend and eventually teammate. Seth has my determination, stubbornness and most of all my aggression. Allowing him to be this Face character that will do heel things if required of him.

## Inspiration

Seth Dracul was made to go with my friend’s character Johnny Kid and be the secret second person that was trained by Finn Balor. I wanted to lean more into the demon side of the character but combine this jokey nature. This combination however proved to not be working well for him and it resulted in me giving him a heavy makeover. In this makeover, I based him around a dragon, changed his main colour from yellow to red with white and made him FAR more serious than he was before.

Other than Reece, Seth was one of my favourites to create and change, becoming my first proof to myself that I could create more than Next Gen Undertaker/Kane and a Next Gen Finn Balor. Seth has certainly had better times but now I can be proud to call him one of my creations.

## Personality

Unlike Reece, Seth is all about respect and doing things the right way. He will hold himself back to keep others in the same ring safe. Being one of the most experienced wrestlers out of my CAWs he understands his responsibility to make sure moves are done right and without injury. Seth is not very judgemental but will judge heavily if you take advantage of his respect or loyalty.

Seth when disrespected will disregard any holding back and give you the full force of his wrestling career experience. Seth is always up for a laugh, messing around and playing some games but he can be deadly serious too. Overall Seth Dracul is one of my CAWs where you can learn a lot from them and you want them on your side in fear of being their enemy. Seth though has certainly made mistakes and therefore is depending on circumstance, willing to forgive.

## History

### NJPW Dojo

Seth would join the NJPW dojo on March 2009 when he became 18. Unlike Reece, Seth had no previous experience in the ring or in another company so would do the whole program with no skips. Seth spent years training at the dojo, long hard days, looking after those who were already wrestling at NJPW, and even doing his protection duties at ringside. Seth’s experience as a Young Lion was in many ways much harder and more difficult than Reece’s but Seth never had problems with that fact. Seth would through his young lion duties meet, greet and discuss with various Japanese members of the NJPW roster, from Shinsuke Nakamura, Tomohiro Ishii to Toru Yano.

Seth by chance and luck would often find himself there while Nakamura, Ishii, Yano and more discussed the idea of a large team, a faction. Despite Seth being a simple young lion, Seth was a promising one who when allowed provided interesting and thought-provoking ideas and opinions. Through this, the NJPW members would ask Seth for his thoughts and opinions on this new faction. Seth gave his honest opinions and thoughts throughout the whole progress. These opinions could have been ignored and forgotten but instead, they were taken on board and used to improve the faction before it was even released.

As such despite being only a Young Lion, Seth was deemed a tenth and final founder of the created Faction, CHAOS. Seth’s status as a tenth’s founder, however, would be hidden. A tenth founder would be mentioned by the other nine founders, most of all Yano but never who it was. By the time Seth progressed enough to go to another company to complete his young lion training, this tenth founder hint had long since been deemed a rumour or a joke.

### AAA

Seth would be sent off to AAA in Mexico in March 2012, 3 years after joining the dojo. Here Seth  would win the AAA Mega Championship in June from El Mesías, holding it all the way until the November. Seth shocked many with this quick but fairly long first reign, with many even praising his last match of the reign where he lost the title to El Texano Jr. Losing the title did not stop Seth who would then begin to focus on the AAA Latin American Championship. Seth would earn his shot for the title, winning it in January 2013. Seth would like his first title hold it for a number of months, losing it to Blue Demon Jr in June. With two fairly good title reigns in only a year and showing great promise, Seth was called to NJPW to join the main roster, graduating from being a young lion.

### NJPW

Later that month Seth would debut on NJPW and quickly have Yano following him, copying him and more until Yano would offer him a spot within Chaos in front of the whole public. Seth would agree to Yano’s offer to become a simple normal member. Seth with support from his new teammates would take part in that year’s G1 Climax, however, would only get midway through. Despite this in July 2013 Seth would win the IWGP Interconential Championship from La Sombra. He would prove to be a great champion for the title, never losing it and still having time to aid his fellow Chaos members. However, in May 2o14 Seth would become enraged when Chaos Founder Yujiro Takahashi would betray the team, helping Bullet Club enemy AJ Styles. Seth in his time as a young lion and in NJPW had become very close to Takahashi, the two calling one another brothers. The betrayal though was not taken very well by him, who had to be held back by the rest of the founders numerous times to avoid Takahashi being injured for life. Heat would rise between the two before they would have a match for Seth’s title on his 1 year anniversary. The battle would be a long one but Seth would defeat Takahashi, demanding to NEVER be called brother again.

A few months later in September Seth would be challenged by fellow founder Nakamura for his title. This title match would be called a ‘test’ by the other 8 remaining founders where if Seth lost, Nakamura would reveal his secret. Seth and Nakamura would have a long but respectful match, Seth finally losing the title. With his loss Seth’s true status as the tenth founder was revealed, shocking the world. Only a month later, Seth would take part in a triple threat match for AJ Style’s IWGP Heavyweight Championship, with Hiroshi Tanahashi. Seth would get a cheeky win by pinning Hiroshi, AJ failing to break the pin by mere inches. Now with an unhappy AJ Styles, Seth started his first reign as a Chaos Founder and his first NJPW main title. He would hold onto this title until April 2015, when he would ironically lose it to Hiroshi himself.

The following month Seth would decide to form a tag team with Yano called CHAOS Mejiri. The two would have multiple tag matches together, with Seth even taking part in that year’s G1 Climax. This year for the tournament Seth would reach the Semi-Finals in August before failing. At the start of 2016 in January he and Yano would win the IWGP World Tag Team Championships before the following month also winning the ROH World Championship from Jay Lethal. At the same time, Seth would decide on a new name for himself, Seth Dracul. This would be the first time in Seth’s career that he would hold two titles at the same time.  Seth would hold the ROH title until August when he would lose it to Adam Cole. In October he and Yano would lose the tag titles to the Guerrillas of Destiny.

Despite losing both titles Seth kept at it with support from his CHAOS peers, going for another title in November. This title would be the Interconential title again, this time winning it from Naito. Seth would have his second reign of this title until June 2017 when he would for the second time lose his title to Hiroshi. With this new loss, Seth would decide to focus on tag matches with Yano, winning the tag titles with him again in September.  The two would hold the titles together until January 2018, when Seth would later that night win the Interconential title for the third time.

In this reign it would be where Seth and Reece Hancock would come face to face in the ring for the first time, Seth successfully defending his title in April. Unfortunately for Reece, Seth would lose the title only 2 months later to Jericho. Okada would the same night lose his title making what would be known as the longest reign of that title. Sethwould do his best to support Okada after his loss and keep CHAOS strong. With that year’s G1 Climax Seth would be inches from winning, but lose in the finals, marking his final appearance in NJPW.

### WWE

Following his departure from NJPW Seth would train for his WWE debut under Finn Balor. This training is where he would meet his future oversea brother, Johnny Kid. In this training, Seth learned about demon egos and with Johnny would learn to bring out his own. In September 2018 Seth would debut as The Golden Demon, Seth Dracul as a third member of the team Kingdom of Demons. Despite his talent and achievements, Seth would not win any titles, with not many noteworthy events. He would have a match against legend Shawn Micheals in the same month before being betrayed by Johnny in October. Seth would fall into a blind rage by the end of the month, not wanting Johnny near him or wanting to listen to a word he had to say. Early November Seth would have a small conflict with AJ, due to their NJPW past but would forgive him and fall into a blind trust.

This trust would prove to be miss placed when Bullet Club would debut on WWE in January 2019, Seth being kicked out and beaten up by his own mentor. Seth would basically disappear, taking time to think things over and realising what Johnny had tried to tell him. By February, Seth would approach Johnny apologising for his actions and asking for help, and aid to reinvent himself. Johnny would forgive him and train Seth as his new mentor before suggesting Seth return home to NJPW for a while away from WWE Bullet Club’s eyes. In March of that year, Seth would return to NJPW after being fired from WWE due to budget cuts.

### Return to NJPW

Seth would be first seen in NJPW in late March in a backstage segment with Okada and Yano. He would not be seen again until G1 Supercard where he would come out with Okada, protecting him from Gedo’s attempts to help Jay White. After Okada’s win, Seth would make it clear to Jay that things were only JUST beginning between the two of them.  From then up until late August Seth would have a rivalry with Jay White, making Jay suffer along with his Bullet Club pals. This rivalry would show the destructive side of Seth and his mental changes to prevent future mistakes. Jay White would dare ask Seth to join Bullet Club, only earning him another Burning Hammer, named Death Hammer.

From September Seth would enter the good old G1 Climax, eventually winning it for the first time in his career at long last. In January 2020 Wrestle Kingdom 14 would come along, with the first night having Naito win both the Interconential Championship and the Heavyweight Championships the same night. The following night, on night 2 Naito would face Seth where he would win, giving Naito one of the shortest reigns ever, 1 day. With this win, Seth would be attacked after the match by Kenta.

Being Bullet Club’s first attempt at ruining Seth’s chances at a great return, the attack was not taken lightly. This would lead to Kenta and Seth fighting in February for both titles, with Seth successfully defending. This would not be the end of Bullet Club’s attempts however as they would send old Chaos founder and brother, Takahashi to fight and defeat Seth. In July the two would fight once more, however, unlike their previous match it was a brutal burial loss for Takahashi. Seth would continue his reign, growing suspicious of Will Osprey. Seth’s suspicions would prove correct when Will would leave Chaos for his own group and then challenge Seth for the title. Will was not prepared for Seth’s superior skills and experience so like those before him, quickly lost.

Seth would continue his reign all the way up to Wrestle Kingdom 15 on January 2021. By this time G1 Climax winner Kota Ibushi lost his right to Jay White after a match they had. Seth though decided that Ibushi still deserved a shot and announced he would fight both White and Ibushi. Fighting Ibushi on Night one and White on night two. Seth and Ibushi would have a long and respectful match on night one with Ibushi getting lucky and getting himself a win. The two would shake hands, Ibushi going on to defeat White on night two in place of Seth.  For the rest of January Seth would have final matches with his Chaos peers before the team gave him a final send-off.

### WWE Rise

Seth would next be seen in February when he would run out to rescue Johnny Kid from an all-out attack by the Bullet Club his old mentor has started. He would have a number of matches, getting in the groove of things once more and aiding Johnny where needed. In March Seth would get the confidence to challenge Seth Rollins for the United States Championship, where he would win. Proud of his achievement Seth would carry on strong defending his title from both Rollins and Terry Mason in the same match in May 2021. A month later he would begin a full rivalry with Finn Balor seeking to fully destroy the Bullet Club in WWE. The rivalry would be full of fighting and Bullet Club trying to get under Seth’s skin.

It would end on Summerslam 2021 when Seth would defeat Finn in a Hell In A Cell match, forcing the rest of Bullet Club to be disbanded. A month later Seth would officially form the team “Double Dragons” with best friend Johnny Kid.  Unfortunately, despite his best attempts, Seth would lose his United States Championship in October to Damian Priest. He would take this chance to try other things, going after the Tag Titles with Johnny in January but would just fall short. A month later AJ Styles would start getting under Seth’s skin, going on about their history and how easily Seth trusted him and believed he had turned a new leaf.  Seth did his best to ignore Style but would start to break when Style would win the WWE Championship of Johnny in March.

Furious that Styles took the title away from his friend, Seth would end up in a match with Styles at Wrestlemania 38 in Dallas. AJ Styles though would prove to be the man with better expertise and keep the title due to a Disqualification. Despite having the win in the History books, it wasn't enough for Seth who would fight Styles again in July. This time things would be different, with Styles close to losing. That is until his good friend Karl Anderson came out and distracted both Seth and the referee. With the distraction Styles was able to hit Seth with the belt and get the three count.

This loss thanks to the distraction from Karl a fellow founder of Chaos would enrage Seth, being the final straw on holding back. September 2022 Seth would have one more match against Styles, where he would finally win fair and square, marking the end of the Rivalry and Styles’ title reign. Seth would take some time to cool off and destress, while also celebrating with Johnny, before facing his first title defence. The first defence would be against another Chaos Founder, Shinsuke Nakamura with Seth being successful. The two would share a heartfelt moment after the match reminiscent of their match back in NJPW.  In the following year, Seth would defend his title three more times to date.

The first was against Casey Winters in February where he showed the young Wrestler, it will take far more than Low Blows, Chokes, Rakes and other underhanded tactics to take him down. The next defence would be against Casey’s mentor Two Twisted Merk at Wrestlemania where Merk’s ego would get the better of him, making him heavily disrespect Seth. Merk would lose after getting not one but two Dead Hammers in a row. The last and most recent defence by Seth was in July 2023 where he would once again fight AJ Styles. In this fight, Seth would prove to have learned his lesson and show his equal experience and knowledge to AJ. This match is where Styles would truly see and understand Seth, resulting in a temporary truce.
