Aaron Haddad

Aron Steven Haddad is a renowned American professional wrestler and actor, celebrated for his tenure with WWE under the persona of Damien Sandow. Currently, he competes for the National Wrestling Alliance (NWA) and on the independent wrestling circuit, where he performs as Aron Stevens. Haddad gained fame during his time in Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA), where he made history as the inaugural Impact Grand Champion in 2016, wrestling under the name Aron Rex.

Haddad began his wrestling career in 2001, making his WWE debut in 2002 as Aaron Stevens on the show Heat. He spent a significant period from 2003 to 2006 in WWE's developmental territory, Ohio Valley Wrestling (OVW). In 2006, he returned to the main roster as Idol Stevens, teaming up with KC James and forming an alliance with Michelle McCool. Following his release from WWE in 2007, he wrestled in OVW and later in Puerto Rico for World Wrestling Council (WWC).

After re-signing with WWE in 2010, he adopted the Damien Sandow character, emerging on the main roster in April 2012 as a self-proclaimed intellectual. A career highlight came in July 2013 when he won the Money in the Bank ladder match, earning a shot at the World Heavyweight Championship, although he famously became the first individual to lose a cash-in match. In 2014, he showcased his comedic talent as a stunt double for The Miz, leading the duo to capture the WWE Tag Team Championship before their split in 2015. After a brief stint with Curtis Axel, Haddad transitioned to acting and took a hiatus from wrestling in 2017, returning to the ring in 2019 and making his NWA debut in September of that year.
