Taylor Michael Rotunda (born May 25, 1990) is an American professional wrestler who is signed to WWE where he performs under the ring name Bo Dallas. While in WWE's developmental territories, he was a three-time FCW Florida Heavyweight Championship, a two-time FCW Florida Tag Team Champion with his older brother Bray Wyatt, and the youngest NXT Champion in WWE history.

Background

Rotunda is a third generation professional wrestler; his grandfather Blackjack Mulligan, father Mike Rotunda and uncles Barry and Kendall Windham were all professional wrestlers.[6] His brother Windham Rotunda is also a professional wrestler, better known as Bray Wyatt.[5]

Rotunda attended Hernando High School, and graduated in 2008.[5] During his final two years of high school, he qualified for the state wrestling championships.[5] He also played football as a linebacker.[6] Originally, he was offered a football scholarship at Webber International University in Babson Park, Florida, but when the offer fell through, he decided to become a wrestler instead.[5][7]

Professional wrestling career

World Wrestling Entertainment / WWE

Florida Championship Wrestling (2008–2012)

In 2008, Rotunda signed a developmental contract with World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) and was assigned to Florida Championship Wrestling (FCW), where he debuted in December by defeating Caleb O'Neal.[5] On December 16, 2008, Rotunda, wrestling under his real name teamed with Kris Logan to defeat Ryback and Jon Cutler in a tag team match.[3] Throughout early 2009, Rotunda continued wrestling in tag team matches, and changed his name to 'Tank Rotunda' in February.[8] In June, he began wrestling as 'Bo Rotunda' and later 'Bo Rotundo', and the following month he began teaming with his brother, Duke Rotundo.[8] At the FCW television tapings on June 23, The Rotundo Brothers defeated The Dude Busters (Caylen Croft and Trent Barretta) to become the number one contenders to the FCW Florida Tag Team Championship.[8] That same night, they defeated Justin Angel and Kris Logan for the FCW Florida Tag Team Championship.[5][8] They went on to successfully defend the championship against Dylan Klein and Vance Archer and the team of Curt Hawkins and Heath Slater.[8] At the FCW television tapings on November 19, the Rotundos lost the championship to The Dude Busters (Hawkins and Croft).[8] In early 2010, the Rotundos began feuding with The Usos (Jimmy and Jules), and their manager, Sarona Snuka.[9] In April, they moved into a feud with Jackson Andrews and Curt Hawkins, which began when Rotundo faced Andrews in a singles match and won by disqualification when Hawkins interfered.[9]

Rotunda was then absent from FCW due to injury, making his return in June.[9] He moved into singles competition, defeating wrestlers including Derrick Bateman, Hawkins, Tyler Reks, and Brodus Clay.[9] In August, FCW Florida Heavyweight Champion Mason Ryan issued an open challenge, which Rotundo accepted. He lost the subsequent championship match by submission.[9] On February 3, 2011, Rotundo defeated Ryan to win the FCW Florida Heavyweight Championship for the first time, but lost the championship to Lucky Cannon immediately afterward.[10][11] He regained the championship from Cannon three months later, on May 19.[10] In July and August, Rotundo appeared in multiple untelevised matches before WWE Raw and WWE SmackDown.[12][13][14] On September 1, Rotundo vacated the FCW Florida Heavyweight Championship due to injury.[15] Later that month, it was reported that Rotundo had suffered a lacerated kidney, and was expected to be absent for several months to recuperate.[16]

Rotundo returned at the tapings of the January 29, 2012, episode of FCW television, declaring his intentions to reclaim the FCW Florida Heavyweight Championship.[17] On February 2, Rotundo and his brother, renamed Husky Harris, defeated Brad Maddox and Eli Cottonwood to win the FCW Florida Tag Team Championship for the second time.[10][18] The brothers held the championship until March 15, when they lost it to Corey Graves and Jake Carter.[10] In May 2012, Rotundo made several appearances at WWE house shows, defeating Drew McIntyre.[19][20] At an FCW live event on June 16 Rotundo defeated Rick Victor to win the FCW Florida Heavyweight Championship for the third time, right after Victor had just defeated Seth Rollins for the title.[21] He lost the title back to Victor at another FCW live event on July 13, 2012.[22]

NXT (2012–2014)

In 2012, WWE rebranded FCW as WWE NXT, Rotunda made his NXT television debut in June 20 episode of NXT, portraying a happy-go-lucky and resilient character under the ring name Bo Dallas, where he defeated Rick Victor.[2][23][24] In August, Dallas competed in a tournament to crown the first NXT Champion; he was eliminated by Jinder Mahal in the quarter-finals.[25] On the November 7 episode of NXT, Dallas competed in a number one contenders fatal four-way elimination match against Mahal, Drew McIntyre, and Justin Gabriel; despite eliminating McIntyre and Gabriel, Dallas succumbed to Mahal.[26]

On January 26, 2013, at WWE's Royal Rumble Fanfest, Dallas participated in an eight-man NXT tournament for a place in the 2013 Royal Rumble match; he defeated Luke Harper, Conor O'Brian, and Leo Kruger to win the tournament.[27] The next day, Dallas entered the Rumble match at number 16, where he lasted over 20 minutes and eliminated the WWE Intercontinental Champion, Wade Barrett, who returned to the ring and eliminated Dallas.[28] This provoked a brief feud, with Barrett challenging Dallas to a non-title match the next night on Raw, in which Dallas earned an upset victory in his first singles match on Raw.[29] On the February 11 episode of Raw Dallas appeared, attacking Barrett before Barrett's match against Kofi Kingston. Dallas later challenged Barrett for the Intercontinental Championship, but was defeated.[30]

Simultaneously with his feud with Barrett, Dallas entered the NXT Tag Team Championship tournament alongside Michael McGillicutty. The pair defeated Primo and Epico to advance to the semi-finals, but lost to the Wyatt Family (Luke Harper and Erick Rowan) due to Bray Wyatt's interference.[31][32] In an NXT Championship number one contender's three-way match against Conor O'Brian and Corey Graves, Dallas was prevented from winning by Wyatt, due to Dallas' earlier refusal to join The Wyatt Family.[33] This resulted in a match between Dallas and Wyatt, which Dallas won.[34] Starting in late April 2013, the NXT audience began to turn against Dallas (despite Dallas not changing his character) and started booing him.[35][36] NXT Tag Team Champion Adrian Neville chose Dallas to replace his injured partner, Oliver Grey, but on May 8, they lost the title to The Wyatt Family.[37][38] Soon after, Dallas' character began showing subtle villainous traits of being disingenuous.[39][40][41]

On the May 29 episode of NXT, Dallas won a battle royal to become the number one contender to the NXT Championship.[40] On NXT on June 12 (taped on May 23), Dallas defeated Big E Langston to become the new NXT Champion.[42][43] He successfully defended the championship against Antonio Cesaro and Leo Kruger during mid-2013.[44][45] By then, the NXT audience's dislike of Dallas had grown to the point of the crowd literally turning their backs on him while cheering all his opponents, regardless of who he faced.[44][46][47] In September, Dallas held an open challenge to determine his next title contender but banned Sami Zayn from competing,[48] so Zayn masqueraded as the masked El Local and defeated Dallas to earn his title shot.[49] The match occurred on the October 16 episode of NXT, and Dallas retained his title by sending Zayn into an exposed turnbuckle.[50] Dallas then faced Adrian Neville in December and lost by countout to retain his title.[51] In a rematch at NXT Arrival in February 2014, Dallas lost the title to Neville, and failed to regain it in a rematch on NXT on March 27. The following month, Dallas attempted to "Occupy NXT", but the crowd turned their backs on him, and he was forced into a match against Justin Gabriel, which he won.[52] Beginning to throw tantrums after failing to get his own way, he was put in a match against Big E on May 22. Dallas subsequently lost the match and was forced to leave NXT as a result. In June, he attempted to return to NXT by appearing as the masked character "Mr. NXT", but was exposed by Zayn and forced to leave.

Bo-lieve (2014–2016)

Bo Dallas in September 2014

Starting on the April 7 episode of Raw, WWE started airing motivational-style introductory vignettes for Dallas.[53] Dallas' return to the main roster was in a winning effort, as he defeated Sin Cara on the May 23 episode of SmackDown as well as the May 26 episode of Raw. This was the start of a winning streak, which reached a third victory with the defeat of Xavier Woods on the May 30 episode of SmackDown. Dallas made his first pay-per-view appearance at Payback, where he was scheduled to face Kofi Kingston. However, the match never happened due to interference from Kane. Dallas would face Kingston the following night on Raw in a winning effort. This was declared his 4th victory.[54]

To some, the counting of his wins pertained to those on the main roster, as 14 victories in house shows (10 over Zack Ryder,[55] 1 over Damien Sandow,[56] 1 over Tyson Kidd[57] and 2 over Xavier Woods[58]) were not counted by announcers.

The streak continued with Santino Marella,[59] a second win over Xavier Woods,[60] reached 7 with the defeat of R-Truth[61] and 8 with the defeat of Fandango[62] When it reached 9 with the defeat of Titus O'Neil[63] it was declared "The Greatest Streak in Sports Entertainment". The tenth victory in the streak was a second victory over Fandango.[64]

Dallas established himself as a heel when he attacked El Torito after his eleventh victory (beating Diego) on the July 4 episode of SmackDown. He would go on to defeat El Torito as his 12th victory[65] and then defeated both Diego and Torito in a handicap match as his 13th and 14th victories.[66] WWE released a video of Bo highlighting the "14-Bo" streak he acknowledged.[67] His 15th win came against The Great Khali,[68] his 16th in the streak against Damien Sandow,[69] his 17th against Dolph Ziggler,[70] At Battleground, Dallas participated in the 19-man battle royal for the vacant WWE Intercontinental Championship; he managed to eliminate Sin Cara and Titus O'Neil before being the 16th person eliminated after being thrown out by Dolph Ziggler. Dallas' undefeated streak was ended (17-1) by R-Truth[71] on the July 28 episode of Raw, prompting a small feud between the two.

In late August, Dallas began tormenting Jack Swagger about his loss to Rusev at SummerSlam after Swagger's matches.[72][73] Dallas began feuding with Mark Henry after defeating him on the September 29 episode of Raw, tormenting him like he did Swagger following Henry's losses to Rusev at Night of Champions. On the October 7 episode of Main Event, Dallas unsuccessfully challenged Dolph Ziggler for the Intercontinental Championship. Dallas then went on to pick up three more wins over Henry in both singles and tag team matches, before being quickly defeated by Henry in a match on the Hell in a Cell pre-show, ending their feud.[74]

After a four-month absence due to a foot injury, Dallas made his televised return on the WrestleMania 31 pre-show in March 2015, competing in the André the Giant Memorial Battle Royal where he was eliminated by Hideo Itami.[75] The next night on Raw Dallas came out and interrupted Sting telling him to Bo-lieve before receiving a Scorpian Death drop. On the May 18 episode of Raw, Dallas reignited his rivalry with Neville, attacking him before and after his match with King Barrett.[76] At Elimination Chamber, Dallas faced Neville in a losing effort.[77] On the August 24 episode of Raw, Dallas interrupted Brock Lesnar and brought up Lesnar's loss to The Undertaker at SummerSlam, before Lesnar delivered a number of German suplexes to him, and ending the beatdown with an F5 [78]

Afterwards, Dallas faced R-Truth on SmackDown! in a winning effort, where he showed a more brutal side and debuted a new finisher.[79] On WWE's YouTube channel, Dallas cut a promo stating that he would be more aggressive in the future.[80] at Survivor Series (2015), Dallas competed in a Five-on-five traditional Survivor Series elimination tag team match where Dallas, The Cosmic Wasteland (Stardust, Konnor and Viktor) and The Miz lost to Goldust, The Dudley Boyz (Bubba Ray Dudley and D-Von Dudley), Neville and Titus O'Neil. On December 23 Bo Dallas lost to Mark Henry for the Tributes to Troops match.

The Social Outcasts (2016–present)

Dallas with Heath Slater and Adam Rose in January 2016

On the January 4 Raw, Dallas, along with Adam Rose, Curtis Axel and Heath Slater, debuted as a new stable and went on to assist Slater in defeating Dolph Ziggler, calling themselves "social outcasts".[81]

Other media

Dallas is a playable character in WWE 2K15 and WWE 2K16 video games.

Personal life

On February 19, 2012, Rotunda was arrested for driving under the influence in Tampa, Florida, with blood-alcohol levels of 0.1166 and 0.1178 according to two breathalyser tests, slightly above the legal limit.[1][82] He was released later that day on a $500 bond.[83] In June 2014, Rotunda married former NXT Diva Sarah Bäckman.[84]
