Professional wrestling career

New Japan Pro-Wrestling (2021–present)

On the January 22, 2022 episode of NJPW Strong, Tito made his NJPW debut where he lost to Juice Robinson.[1][2] On the February 12 episode of NJPW Strong, he teamed up with Jonah where they lost to FinJuice (David Finlay and Juice Robinson).[3][4] On the March 6, episode of NJPW Strong, Shane Haste interfered in the tag team match between FinJuice and the pairing of Jonah and Tito. He attacked Robinson while the referee was distracted, allowing Tito to hit a frog splash on Robinson for the win.[5], reforming TMDK in the process. At Windy City Riot, TMDK and Tito were defeated by FinJuice and their partner, revealed to be Brody King.[6] On May 14, at Capital Collision, TMDK and Tito defeated the United Empire, with Mikey Nicholls pinning Kyle Fletcher for the win. After the match, Tito, who had been tagging with Jonah since the start of the year, officially joined TMDK.[7]

On June 20, Jonah was announced as being part of G1 Climax 32.[8] Tito accompanied Jonah, with both wrestlers being used in undercard tag team matches throughout the tournament.[9]

On March 7, 2023, Haste and Tito won the UWN Tag Team Championship.[10]

Impact Wrestling (2023)

At Sacrifice, as part of a partnership between Impact Wrestling and NJPW, Haste and Tito faced Impact World Tag Team Champions Bullet Club (Ace Austin and Chris Bey) in a losing effort. [11] They lost to Bullet Club again at Multiverse United in a four-way tag team match which also involved Aussie Open (Kyle Fletcher and Mark Davis) and The Motor City Machine Guns (Alex Shelley and Chris Sabin).[12][13]
