Brief Character Overview: Formerly part of renowned Stable that originated in Australia and travelled the world. Disillusioned by the way the American Industry overshadows the rest of the world, considering they feel the industry is stale and uninspired in the States.
The team has reunited (albeit without the third member) to prove the Americans that there is a better alternative.
Of the two, Sam is more impulsive, quick to anger and isn't as interested as his partner in a fair fight or the honour of the match. Will do anything to win.
Theme Music: The Butterfly Effect - A Slow Descent
Entrance: The music hits and Sam Braxton slides onto the stage. He looks around the arena quickly before jumping to his feet and running down to ringside, swiftly climbing onto the apron and leaping over the ring ropes into the ring. He ascends a nearby turnbuckle, raising his hands in front of his face, fingers interlocked, before back flipping back down to the ring.

In-Ring Strengths: Sam has a strong martial arts background, able to hit very hard and very fast with various strikes. He is also agile and quick, often able to overcome opponents with attacks that come from any angle.
Sam is also a dare-devil, unafraid of big risk/high-reward moves and will improvise to his surroundings. Often acts on impulse and instinct.
Sam won’t back down from a challenge.
Close to the entirety of Sam’s career has been as part of a team, thus he is well versed and experienced in working in conjunction with Dean. They work in perfect harmony together and never miss a beat or a cue. It is near impossible for an outsider to turn the two against each other.
In-Ring Flaws: What Sam boasts in speed, athleticism and agility he lacks in size, strength and raw power. If his strikes and high-flying prove ineffective or disadvantageous he has little else to call upon.
Sam’s impulsiveness and stubborn streak can put him into difficult and dangerous situations. Even in matches. This also makes him somewhat susceptible to mind-games and psychology.
Sam is not as experienced or as well versed in single matches, more accustomed to a partner taking some of the offense and sharing the burden of the match. He tires somewhat quicker in singles matches, more so than his partner Dean.
