Alex Sean is an American professional wrestler. He has most recently returned to the WFWF after a near-eleven year absence from the promotion and almost nine years away from professional wrestling entirely.

XWA[]

Alex Sean is arguably the most controversial figure in the history of the XWA. Debuting at the XWA's very first show "Genesis" in November of 2001 under the name Alex Showtime, Sean initially carried himself as a comedic, arrogant heel with inconsistent in-ring success. However after forming the original Rated X stable alongside J-Pain and J.B. Buttkicker, Alex Sean began to come into his own becoming both the first XWA Cruiserweight Champion as well as one half of the very first XWA Tag Team Champions with J.B. Buttkicker. After a short while, J.B. Buttkicker and Alex Sean parted ways creating the opportunity for a young DGX to defeat J.B. Buttkicker and claim his half of the XWA Tag Team Championship. While Sean and DGX would go on to establish themselves as the greatest tag team in XWA history, this initially teaming was short-lived when DGX's mentor; The MadDog, convinced the young superstar to betray Alex Sean. This alongside with the fact that MadDog had maneuvered Mike Vengeance, then XWA Commissioner and personal mentor to Alex Sean out of this position of power for himself created not just the feud between Sean and DGX, but set the stage for the longstanding mistrust between Alex Sean and XWA management. After failing to defeat DGX for the XWA World Championship, issues between Sean and the XWA escalated to the point where Sean was fired from the XWA and considered to be forever banned from competing between it's ropes.

This separation continued until, in late 2004, Sean shockingly returned to the XWA forming a new version of his traditional WFWF stable known as The Anointed with Frost and EBR. After several months, Sean had managed to, in the eyes of those in power, right the wrongs of his past and was given the position of Commissioner of the XWA, eventually rising to the position of figurehead CEO of the company. However some were unhappy with this and with the general direction the XWA was taking, and mid-way through 2005 the XWA's doors closed seemingly never to open again. A small handful of upstarts emerged, attempting to reignite the spark of the XWA's flame, but it wasn't until Alex Sean, alongside King Kraig, decided to reopen the promotion in late 2009. Facing internal pressure being considered someone who was not best suited for a position of authority, Sean elected to bow out of his CEO position and sought to enter the XWA's tournament to crown a new World Heavyweight Champion. However, almost reflective of before, The MadDog had been granted the position of Comissioner of the company and placed Sean in the first round against DGX and Calvin Lee, two men who Sean had formed strong alliances with in the years prior. Feeling he was disrespected once again, Sean walked out of the company further enhancing the image many had of him as someone who will only play by his own terms and will opt to take the ball and go home otherwise.

This proved to be a move that XWA may have come to regret, as several months later Sean returned but this time alongside DGX and newfound ally Hutton Brown to reform Rated X. Enlisting the help of superstars such as Dan Bennett and Satine X, this new Rated X tore through the XWA engaging in what has come to be known as the Faction Wars between Rated X, The Legion, and the XWA Loyalists. By early 2011, the war had seemingly been decided; Rated X had maneuvered their way into having booking control over the shows, DGX and Alex Sean had claimed the XWA Tag Team Championship, and DGX himself was the reigning XWA World Heavyweight Champion. It was during this time that Alex Sean's longstanding rivalry with Angelus was rekindled and the two men engaged in a series of barbaric fights, none serving to prove the better man but only to create more controversy and more chaos. Finally, in the Summer of 2011, Sean had one last match with Angelus, losing to the hulking monster, and effectively disappeared from the XWA landscape; The result of the all-familiar story of Alex Sean's issues with authority. For two years, Sean was unseen and unheard, seemingly finished with in-ring competition, until at Legends 2013 he, alongside DGX and EBR, returned following the main event of Rose and Trace Demon. The three men proceed to brutally assault them, leaving the two men in a heap and sending a message to the XWA as a whole. With none of them under contract and CEO at the time, Hector Alonzo Perez, electing not to resign them, Rated X went on to create an environment of chaos in the XWA assaulting anyone and everyone seemingly at random, buying valuable commercial time during the broadcast, and causing the sort of commotion that only three men of their calibur can make.
