A Northern Irish professional wrestler known for his intense matches and rugged in-ring style, competing in WWE's NXT brand.
Killian Dain, born Damian Mackle on February 20, 1985, is a Northern Irish professional wrestler who has made a name for himself in the world of wrestling. Known for his intense matches and rugged in-ring style, Dain has carved out a successful career in various promotions, including WWE, ICW, and AEW.
Before venturing into professional wrestling, Mackle played various sports, including football, rugby union, basketball, and judo. His fascination with professional wrestling began at a young age, drawn to larger-than-life personas and face paint of wrestlers like Sting and The Ultimate Warrior. However, it was his fellow countryman Fit Finlay who served as a huge influence on his wrestling style and inspiration for his success.
Mackle began his training with Scottish Championship Wrestling before moving on to train with the SWANWA Scotland under Robbie Brookside, now a trainer at WWE NXT. He made his mark in the independent circuit, winning the ICW World Heavyweight Championship while wrestling for Insane Championship Wrestling.
In 2016, WWE announced that Mackle had signed a developmental contract with the company, and he began working on the NXT brand as part of the stable Sanity, alongside Nikki Cross, Eric Young, and Alexander Wolfe. As Killian Dain, he became a formidable force in the WWE, competing in various matches and feuds.
FOLLOWING HIS DEPARTURE FROM WWE IN 2021, Dain reverted to his ring name on the independent circuit, Big Damo. He has since continued to compete in various promotions, including All Elite Wrestling, Progress Wrestling, and Revolution Pro Wrestling.
Dain's wrestling style and approach are deeply rooted in his Irish heritage. He has stated that he is driven by a strong work ethic and a passion for continually improving his craft. His no-nonsense, rugged in-ring style has earned him a reputation as a formidable opponent.
