Frequently caught on camera across Dynamite, Rampage, Dark, and Dark: Elevation, Sabian's presence has raised eyebrows amongst the fanbase, though the angle has never led to anything beyond more unmentioned appearances in the audience.

Sabian hasn't been an acknowledged part of AEW programming since April 2021, when he split from Miro, his former 'Best Man.' This was the product of a growing rift between the duo exacerbated by their Arcade Anarchy loss to Best Friends the following month.

In May of last year, it was announced that the Englishman would be taking time away from AEW to undergo shoulder surgery.

A year-one AEW signing, Sabian competed in the company's first ever singles match when he defeated Sammy Guevara at the original Double Or Nothing in May 2019. As well as facilitating Miro's debut in September 2020, he and his then-fiancee Penelope Ford were married on Dynamite's 3 February 2021 episode.
