Keith Lee: The Limitless Powerhouse
Born on November 8, 1984, Keith Gerald Lee II is known for combining size, agility, and charisma in a way few big men ever have.
Currently signed to All Elite Wrestling (AEW), Keith Lee is a former AEW World Tag Team Champion and remains one of the most imposing figures in the promotion, despite being on hiatus due to an undisclosed injury.
Before his AEW success, Lee made waves in WWE, where he etched his name into the history books by becoming the first man to simultaneously hold both the NXT Championship and NXT North American Championship.
His NXT run was widely celebrated, especially for matches against Dominik Dijakovic and his championship victory over Adam Cole.
Lee later transitioned to the Raw brand, competing in WWE Championship matches against stars like AJ Styles and Drew McIntyre.
Before WWE, Lee was already a standout on the independent circuit, having wrestled in PWG (Pro Wrestling Guerrilla), Evolve, and AAW.
Mia Yim: From The Indies To WWE Stardom
Born Stephanie Hym Lee (née Bell) on April 16, 1989, Mia Yim is a wrestling veteran with over a decade of experience worldwide.
Currently signed to WWE, she performs on SmackDown under the ring name Michin (Korean for “crazy”), showcasing her relentless style and dynamic charisma.
Yim’s wrestling career began on the indie scene in 2009 and saw her compete in top promotions such as Shine Wrestling, Shimmer Women Athletes, and Combat Zone Wrestling (CZW).
Her early travels even took her to Japan, where she trained in lucha libre, puroresu, and Mexico through partnerships between promotions.
She first caught WWE’s attention in the Mae Young Classic, where she impressed fans and executives alike.
Signing officially with NXT in 2018, Yim rose through the ranks and later joined the main roster, eventually becoming part of the faction Retribution under the name Reckoning.
Though her first WWE stint ended in 2021, she triumphantly returned in November 2022 and joined The O.C. before its disbandment in 2024.
Yim is also remembered for her impactful run in Impact Wrestling (TNA), where she performed as Jade and captured the Knockouts Championship.
She played a key role in the Dollhouse faction alongside Marti Bell and Taryn Terrell.
