CHARACTER INFORMATION
Disposition/Alignment: Tweener
Gimmick:
After almost twenty years in this sport, a near career ending injury forced Devon to stop and take stock in his career which made him realize that he needed to start giving back to an industry that he felt was “entitled” to simply take from and started to consider his own legacy, both in and out of the ring, rather than focus on the eclipsing shadow of his own father’s.

Having worked hard to burn away the “self-entitled Black Savior” persona that he had allow go to his head prior to his arrival in the Omega Wrestling Alliance, Devon has become a much more focused and grounded person as well as finally coming to terms that he is his father’s son which has helped to shed some of the mental stress that had hampered his career for quite some time, even though it does tend to flare up from time to time. But he is still a Slayton-a family recognized for being incredibly tough and serious about their craft, infamously gleeful for their sadistic skill with submissions...but he doesn’t view himself as a god or anything like that. No, Devon views himself as the man who sold the world and everyone else is on his time.
