Rivals:
J.C. Keeton
His intentions and actions towards J.C. Keeton were apparent from day one and he never shied away from that moment. Though he had repeatedly acknowledged his contempt for the youngest Keeton outside of that first night he never crossed that line of physicality again. He lived on the outskirts physically and had even began to silently sky away from mention J.C. or his family. Until that infamous night at WCF – The Final One.
Soldado Fortuna
‘The LuchaVillain’ and Soldado found themselves on the opposite of the ring III times so far within the ropes and turnbuckles of Action Wrestling. The first encounter saw Raijin defeat Soldado at XIII – Live at the Fillmore. Their second meeting happening at Turmoil found Soldado victories evening their contest at 1-1. The third meeting happening at CruiserClash 01/04. It’s only a matter of time before these two find themselves one on one between the ropes.
Max Daemon
Maxi, as Raijin refers to him, and The Man of Mask found themselves in a battle of wit on the social media app Twitter. It was Raijin who took fire at the unsuspecting Pure Champion but the cocky and Brash Daemon responded in fire. The two men had been quiet after those initial days but the war words turned into physicality as ‘The LuchaVillain’ found opportune to remove Daemon from CruiserHavoc 3 when given the opportunity.
Max Daemon continued the war of words again on Twitter and the masked villain responded in kind. It was chance… or calculated planning that both men found themselves within the Roth Invitational Tournament outside of Action Wrestling. It will be seen where this leaves the two men.
In-Ring Style: Cross between Lucha and Strong Style
Recent encounters have shown ‘The Man of Mask’ has a tendency of become more of a brawler looking for every opportunity for illegal bending/breaking of the rules. Since WCF – The Final One he has been carrying around Jake Keeton’s cane that he had kicked out from under him. Given the chance it’s his weapon of choice.
Biography:
His true name and identify are clouded within a cloak of shadows just as he hides his true face behind a mask of concealment. He exploded onto the scene of Action Wrestling as the man of mystery with a self proclaimed blood feud with the family Keeton. It seemed as though he was content in simply stalking the youngest Keeton on a weekly basis.
The youngster Jonathan Cade Keeton continued to ignored his presence. As the weeks slowly passed Raijin became more intent on inflicting pain and suffering upon the Keeton kid as his frustrations grew outwardly.
Raijin had been vocal of being labeled a fan favorite yet his demeanor turned more volatile as he continued bending the gentleman’s agreement between the turnbuckles. He bent, at times undeniably broke, the common rules of the business.
As time behind the mask grows so does his contempt and love for the cloth armor as it both shields his identify and culpability. His temperament for the mask seems to change day to day and at times hour by hour.
The truth of his origination has been disguised and at times the story changes. What’s stayed the most consistent is that he was born and raised in Japan. He has an undeniable hate for the Keeton family and he defeated him at Revolution in January 2021. JC Keeton left Action Wrestling after being fired by Donald Deruty. The departure of Keeton also saw the departure of Raijin but now he's return. The question. Does he,again, have ulterior motives? Does he have his sights set upon someone else?

Entrance:
An unknown gravely voice speaks as the arena lights begin fading to a dark shade of gray.
Akutō Akutō Akutō Akutō Akutō
The Japanese word for villain flashes onto the screen as the lights explode into a burst of brilliant white lights and pyrotechnics. The explosions sound as though they are coming from the ring and then another set of explosions that come from the entrance ramp.
My Demons by Starset begins playing loudly throughout the arena.
The cameras shakes and pan quickly throughout the entire arena before suddenly stopping within the stands of the audience. Reo Raijin walks out within the crowd and stands as he holds his hands and arms outward before quickly bringing them in as he grasp his hands into a fist.
He begins makes his way between the fans who are grabbing and patting him on the shoulders as a few attempt at taking a selfie as he passes by them. As he gets to the barricade separating crowd from audience he jumps onto the top of the barricade and turns towards the crowd.
The words are called out with what sounds like thousands of children screaming in unison.
Something wicked this way comes.
Raijin opens his arms out wide again as he drops off the barricade as he looks towards the crowd. Instantly he turns and walks up the steel steps and grabs the top rope pulling himself upwards and using his momentum to jump over the top rope.
He stands center ring and turns in a circle and he looks out over the crowd before backing into a corner and sitting on the canvas before the match begins. As the bell rings he grabs the top rope pulling himself to his feet facing his opponent.
