As comfortable in the VIP section as he is in the ring, Darren Young’s life revolves around three things — money, women and wrestling. Blessed with natural talent and a physique only seen in comic books, this fixture on the South Beach club scene is so gifted he can party all night and still be the first man in the gym the next morning.
Young may be flashy, but when the season one NXT Rookie came to Raw as part of The Nexus, he began to show a darker and more ruthless side. Like the other members of the group, he was angry about his treatment on WWE NXT season one and was out to establish his career with or without the consent of WWE management.
After Team WWE defeated The Nexus at SummerSlam, The Nexus was put to the test on Raw. Young lost to John Cena and was exiled from The Nexus and attacked by his former associates.
No longer under the thumb of Nexus leader Wade Barrett, Young remains as determined as ever to make a name for himself in WWE.
