JD McDonagh
In a world where strength and power are often revered as the hallmarks of a great wrestler, JD McDonagh stands out as a testament to the enduring allure of technical grappling. This 5'10" powerhouse from Bray, Wicklow, Ireland has been making waves in the WWE's RAW brand with his lightning-quick moveset and unyielding work ethic.
Born in 1990, Jordan Devlin (his real name) was destined for greatness. As a teenager, he honed his craft on the European independent circuit under the ring names Frank David and Aguila Artois. But it was as Aguila II that he first gained notoriety, his aerial assaults earning him the nickname "The Import Killer."
When he arrived in WWE's developmental system, McDonagh's natural ability shone through. His Moonsault – a move so precise it's almost unfair to those who dare face it – has become a crowd-pleaser, and his Devlin Side (a side suplex that leaves opponents reeling) is a staple of his offense.
The Technician's RiseAs JD McDonagh, he's carved out a niche for himself on RAW as a singles wrestler with a penchant for taking down larger foes. His technical prowess allows him to outmaneuver bigger opponents, making him a formidable force in the ring. And when paired with his tag team experience, it's clear that this Irish Ace has the range to succeed in whatever capacity WWE sees fit.
With McDonagh's current momentum and raw talent, it's only a matter of time before he becomes a mainstay on RAW. And when that day comes, you can bet your bottom dollar that The Import Killer will be raining down Moonsaults and Devlin Sides with reckless abandon, leaving the competition in his wake.
The question on everyone's mind: what's next for this rising star? Will he continue to fly under the radar as a mid-card darling or ascend to the upper echelons of WWE fame? One thing is certain – JD McDonagh will be a force to be reckoned with, and his Irish charm will only add to his allure.
