The Destroyer

## Aiden Winslow

### Ring Names

The Destroyer (Main name)"The Protostar of Sports Entertainment" (Current nickname 1) "The Galactic Eliminator" (Current nickname 2)

# Aiden Winslow, better known by his ring name The Destroyer, is a professional wrestler currently signed to CWL.

## Early Career

Aiden's first introduction to wrestling was attending WrestleMania XX, when he saw all the exciting action, he knew this was what he wanted to do. From that point on he would start training for the future, whether it was in his house, or at a gym. Then, August 17, 2014, he got the opportunity to perform for a small indie show. After that, he continued on the independent circuit for 2 more years.

# WWE (2016 - 2020)

On March 18, 2016 he was approached by some talent recruiters for WWE, who were impressed by his performance on the indie scene and wanted to put a good word in for him. Just a month later, he was able to make a professional debut on the NXT brand.

## NXT (2016 - 2018)

The Destroyer's NXT career had a slow start, he was a generic face mid-carder for most of his NXT career, until he was able to get multiple title opportunities at the TakeOvers. Most of them were sadly unsuccessful, but that didn't stop him from trying again, and again, until San Antonio, where his determination was rewarded.

### NXT TakeOver: San Antonio (2017)

In the main event of TakeOver: San Antonio, it was The Destroyer against Shinsuke Nakamura for the NXT Championship. It was an amazing match, high flying spots, false finishes, you name it, it happened in that match. At the end, it looked like Nakamura was going to retain the title, but The Destroyer kicked out at 2.99. The Destroyer managed to capture the title after a corner rebound School Boy roll-up. After the match, he had a 30 minute long celebration where he would talk to fans, sign merch, and even take selfies with the members of the crowd. It was all fun and games, until Bobby Roode attacked him from behind.

#### The Destroyer vs. Bobby Roode (2017-2018)

After the attack in San Antonio, The Destroyer and Bobby Roode would have multiple matches, backstage fights, match interruptions, and entrance attacks. They would go back and forth the entire time, except for the title matches, which the Destroyer would always barely win. The "final" match of the rivalry was at WarGames 2017 for the NXT Championship. This match was better than the one The Destroyer had at San Antonio against Nakamura, both competitors put everything on the line in order to win the title. The finish of the match had a ref bump and while The Destroyer was checking on the referee, Roode hit him with a low blow before going for the cover, but the official was still down. Roode angerly "helped" the ref back up before The Destroyer did a Crucifix roll-up for the win. After the match The Destroyer went for a handshake, and Roode hesitantly accepted. The end of the rivalry, right?

#### NXT TakeOver: Philadelphia (2018)

The main event of TakeOver Philly was Johnny Gargano challenging The Destroyer for the NXT Championship. It was a very close match, anyone could win... until Bobby Roode walked onto the ramp to distract The Destroyer, and Johnny rolled him up for the win, and the title. After the match, The Destroyer ran up the ramp and started a brawl with Roode after Gargano snuck out of the ring and fled through the crowd.

#### The true end of Roode vs. Destroyer (2018)

Now, the rivalry was no longer for the title, they were out to hurt each other. Everything got more intense, almost every fight, whether it was a match or a brawl, had a weapon used at some point. Yet, the more dangerous the fights were, the more exciting they were at the same time. It all came to an end in what could be called the best No Holds Barred match in NXT history.

#### NXT TakeOver: Chicago II: No Holds Barred (2018)

This No Holds Barred match was the bloodiest, most brutal, and most destructive match in all of the years that NXT has been active. Chair shots, ladder bumps, kendo sticks, flaming tables, baseball bats, shovels, stop signs, announce table breaking, you name it, it most definably happened. Near the end, both of the competitors' faces were covered in blood, neither of them could hold their balance for more than 10 seconds, and by some miracle, there were no injuries... yet. The end was signified by The Destroyer and Roode going through 2 tables stacked on top of each other and covered with chairs and shovels. Both were down, and after an entire 5 minutes, The Destroyer barely covered Roode for the pin, and got the 3 count. But that wasn't all, The Destroyer weakly and exhaustedly unleashed a post-match attack with a chair until Triple H himself had to announce that both superstars would be restricted from getting anywhere near each other for the rest of their time in NXT.

## The Call-Up (2018 - 2019)

The Destroyer's time in NXT P.R. (Post Roode) was pretty standard (except for a not so memorable NA Championship run), until he won a Fatal Four-Way Number One Contender's match for a shot at Tommaso Ciampa's NXT Championship against Adam Cole, Ricochet, and Johnny Gargano. He managed to win a very close match at NXT TakeOver: Brooklyn 4 to win the title for the second time, and retained it in the rematch at War Games 2018. But the celebration after Wars Games was cut short when Triple H walked onto the stage with some unexpected news... The Destroyer was getting called up to Smackdown! At the same time, this would mean that he would have to vacate the title he currently had.

### Royal Rumble, WrestleMania 35, Extreme Rules, Smackville and WWE Championship (2019)

The Destroyer's Smackdown debut was entering the Royal Rumble match as entrant #15 and barely winning by eliminating Seth Rollins after helping against Brawn Strowman, earning an opportunity to challenge Daniel Bryan for the WWE Championship at WrestleMania 35. The match at WrestleMania was a classic, quickly joining the ranks of some of the best matches in WrestleMania history. But in the end, The Destroyer won his first WWE Championship belt. He held the belt for some time, before losing it to Kofi Kingston at Extreme Rules, and failing the rematch at WWE Smackville.

### Survivor Series, Super ShowDown, and the Universal Championship (2019 - 2020)

For the rest of the time after losing the WWE title, The Destroyer would have failed multiple attempts at the WWE, Universal, and Intercontinental Championships. But, the perseverance wasn't without a reward. At Survivor Series, The Destroyer was able to barely survive and beat The Fiend for the Universal Championship. With this title, he held it for more than 2 months until Super ShowDown, where he lost to Goldberg in a surprisingly good match (A good Goldberg match, in 2019-2020? The Destroyer really was a good wrestler.)

## Rest of WWE career (2020)

The rest of The Destroyer's WWE career wasn't very eventful, except for a backstage segment where The Destroyer and Bobby Roode (Known as Robert Roode by this time) met again after everything that happened in NXT and had one final staredown for old time's sake, and one Intercontinental Championship run which lasted 5 months. 2 months after losing the title, The Destroyer would be released due to "Budget cuts", and he has never been seen in WWE since then. . .

# MVCW (Multiversal Champion Wrestling) (2021 - present)

After he got released, The Destroyer would look to make a wrestling brand where anyone in the multiverse could compete. Didn't matter if you were from a movie, game, or another company, if you were in the multiverse, you could join. The Destroyer also competed in this show, but he did not have a positive win record. At the end of season 1, he had the Multiversal Championship in his hands after winning it at MVCW: Master Duel, but lost it at MVCW: Rebirth at the very start of season 2. He has yet to appear there since, but people are suspecting that he has been training for something.

# CWL (2022)

After getting signed to CWL, he would debut on CWL Genesis: Breakthrough 3.1 in a tag team match. Afterwards, he would split from his tag team partner and make a promo to try to be a part of the Number One Contender Triple Threat for the PoG title, but didn't get the chance he wanted. After the company unfortunately shut down, Destroyer realized that he was undefeated in CWL. Good job, TD, you made us proud.

# Back to WWE (2022 - 2023)

On the week that CWL announced its unfortunate shutdown (we will miss you, CWL), Triple H contacted Destroyer to see if he could return to WWE on Raw, he happily accepted and made his big return on the next episode of Raw.

## Raw return, Clash at the Castle, Extreme Rules, and the US Title (2022)

On his return, Destroyer made a call-out promo towards Bobby Lashley to challenge for the US Title at Clash at the Castle. Lashley originally declined, but the perseverance of The Destroyer annoyed him enough to accept the challenge. The lead-up to the match was mild with only one match before CatC.

### Clash at the Castle (2022)

The Match at Clash at the Castle was a banger, only being a close, close third to Drew vs Roman and Gunther vs Sheamus. How could a match this good end? Well, the match ended with TD doing a jawbreaker escape from the Hurt Lock that makes Lashley get stuck on the ropes before locking him in a DDT hold from the ropes, walking to the middle of the ring, and doing True Hero to him and getting the pin in an epic moment.

### Extreme Rules (2022)

The Raw after CatC opened with The Destroyer celebrating his title win on his first PPV match since returning and bringing back the old US Title design, but Bobby Lashley interrupted the celebration saying that it isn't over between the two, and it will end at Extreme Rules. The lead-up following this was more... "Extreme" starting with a No DQ title match the next week, which TD won, the rest of it was just match interruptions and backstage fights. The match at Extreme Rules was not just as good as the match at Clash at the Castle, but better. The ending was a fake-out where it was exactly like the CatC one, except for when The Destroyer tried to do the True Hero, Lashley turned the momentum into a modified Spinebuster before doing a Yokosuka Cutter which he didn't use as a finisher since 2018 until this match and getting the pin. After this match, The Destroyer surprisingly didn't go for the US Title again.

## Crown Jewel, Survivor Series: War Games, Tribute to The Troops, Royal Rumble 2023, and Elimination Chamber 2023 (2022 - 2023)

### Problems with Blood (2022 - 2023)

After winning the US Title and then losing it a month later, The Destroyer made a promo saying that the only thing he needs to become a Grand Slam Champion is the Tag Team Championship, but the problem is he doesn't have someone to fight The Usos... or does he? Before he could reveal his secret tag team partner, Sami Zayn attacked him from behind followed by the rest of The Bloodline and The Usos accept a match at Crown Jewel for the Undisputed Tag Team Championship. The rest of the lead-up would be just The Bloodline attacking The Destroyer and random Raw Superstars who could potentially be his teammate.

#### Crown Jewel (2022)

After The Usos make their entrance, The Destroyer starts to walk out by himself before moving to the side and signaling someone to come out. The crowd absolutely exploded when they heard one word... "**GLORIOUS**" **ROBERT ROODE WAS TD'S TAG TEAM PARTNER AFTER ALL THEIR HISTORY OF BEING ENEMIES!!!** The match at Crown Jewel was indescribable, somehow Roode and TD were amazing teammates after everything in NXT, both teams threw everything they got at each other, even a run-in by Roman Reigns couldn't end it. It only ended after a ref bump and The Usos used chairs against Roode and Destroyer to get the win. And they definitely weren't happy with how they lost...

#### Beginning of War (2022)

After the lost at Crown Jewel, TD and Roode challenged The Bloodline to a War Games match at Survivor Series. The Bloodline accepted assuming that the rest of the team would be some of the worst on the roster. The build to the match could be described as obvious, because The Bloodline attacked everyone in the Raw and Smackdown locker rooms that they assumed could be in the match, but none of the choices were right. On the Smackdown episode before Survivor Series, The Bloodline was making a promo about how they "smashed" all of the "potential teammates" of TD and RR before the previously mentioned two walked out onto the stage and Destroyer started with how much he missed the feeling of Smackdown before going into the main topic of revealing the other three teammates. The other three teammates were: Drew Mcintyre, Sheamus, and Kevin Owens, the Bloodline were not expecting this at all, especially Sami Zayn not expecting Kevin Owens to be on the opposing team. That reveal just made The Bloodline angrier, attacking all of them backstage later in the night.

#### Survivor Series: War Games (2022)

The match at Survivor Series was almost the exact same as it was IRL, except more brutal, more chaotic, and with more false finishes. The finish, however, was definitely different. Of course, Sami Zayn still hit KO with a low blow and Helluva Kick, but before Jey Uso could hit the Uso Splash, Robert Roode, being Robert Roode, hit him with a low blow from in-between the two rings. Jey fell off the top rope and Sami had to get the pin himself, after the match, Jey and Roode started a brawl before Jimmy Uso joined in, then Destroyer joined in... and then Solo Sikoa and Sami Zayn... and then... you get the picture. After the brawl, everyone was on the ground as Survivor Series: War Games faded out.

#### Tributes Payed (2022)

The Smackdown after Survivor Series, The Bloodline were not happy with how the War Games match ended even though they won, so they made a promo. TD and RR interrupted and challenged them to one last match for the Tag Team Championships at Tribute to The Troops in a Hell in A Cell match. Sami Zayn, being irrational, accepted the match for The Usos, which didn't make them happy, but Zayn explained that if Destroyer and Roode lost, they wouldn't be a problem anymore, which made it a bit better. After that was mentioned, Roman Reigns himself accepted the match, which made Jey Uso angrier because neither of The Usos were getting a word in this. Eventually, everything was figured out and the match was made official for TtTT. On the lead-up to the awaited match, The Bloodline doubled the intensity of the attacks to the point where Robert Roode was almost injured on the Smackdown before the event, but nothing could stop TD & RR from showing up to the match.

#### Tribute to The Troops (2022)

There are only three words to describe the Tag Team Championship match at TtTT: **"This. Is. Awesome!"** The crowd was explosive the entire match and there was never a dull moment the entire time, but after the dust settled, the winners... AND NEW WWE UNDISPUTED TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS: THE DESTROYER AND ROBERT ROODE!!!

#### No one escapes Elimination (2022 - 2023)

After winning the Undisputed Tag Team Title and becoming a Grand Slam Champion, it was mostly smooth sailing for TD. he and Roode beat The Usos in a rematch for the titles at the Royal Rumble and kept them until Elimination Chamber where they lost a very close match to The Usos. After this, Roode and Destroyer went their separate ways peacefully and it seemed like it was going to be pretty uneventful for him...
