Scorpio Sky's Wrestling Journey
Starting Out (2002–2003)
Schuyler Andrews loved wrestling from a young age. He looked up to famous wrestlers like Bret Hart and Ric Flair. In high school, he joined the wrestling team to learn more. After high school, he trained at the Revolution Pro Rudos Dojo.
He started wrestling in June 2002 as a masked wrestler named Gallinero Tres. Later that year, he changed his name to Scorpio Sky. He won a tournament to earn a contract with Revolution Pro.
Scorpio Sky and Quicksilver formed a tag team called the Aerial Xpress (AXP). They became very successful, winning the Southern California Tag Team of the Year award in 2003. Sky also won the Revolution Pro Wrestling Rookie of the Year award in 2003. He won the Revolution Pro Wrestling Junior Heavyweight Title by defeating Super Dragon.
Pro Wrestling Guerrilla (2003–2012)
Sky joined Pro Wrestling Guerrilla (PWG), a new wrestling company. There, he teamed up with Quicksilver again as the Aerial Xpress. They tried to win the PWG World Tag Team Championship.
In July 2005, AXP had a big match where if they lost, they would have to take off their masks. Quicksilver got hurt during the match, leaving Sky to fight alone. Sky still managed to win! But after the match, his opponents attacked him and took off his mask.
After this, the Aerial Xpress team broke up. Sky later returned to PWG without his mask. He formed a group called The Dynasty with other wrestlers. He also had a big rivalry with Frankie Kazarian. In January 2007, Sky lost a match to Kazarian, which meant he had to leave PWG.
He later found a way to return to PWG. In 2010, he came back for a special match against Scott Lost, who was retiring. Sky won the match, and they shook hands. Sky continued to wrestle in PWG until December 2012.
Other Wrestling Companies (2006–2019)
Sky also wrestled in other promotions. He was part of MTV's Wrestling Society X (WSX) show in 2006-2007. He wrestled against many talented people there.
In 2007, Sky started wrestling for the Empire Wrestling Federation (EWF). He won the EWF Heavyweight Championship in May 2008. He also won the AWS Heavyweight Title, becoming a "double champion." He defended his EWF title many times before getting a back injury.
He also competed in the Urban Wrestling Federation and Pacific Coast Wrestling (PCW). In 2016, he won the Sideshow Championship at WrestleCircus.
Championship Wrestling From Hollywood (2010–2017)
In 2010, Sky started appearing on "NWA Championship Wrestling From Hollywood." He had a big match against Adam Pearce for the NWA World Heavyweight title but lost.
He then had a series of five matches against Austin Aries. Sky won the final match, but the decision was reversed because he wouldn't let go of a submission hold.
In 2011, Sky won a tournament to become NWA Hollywood's first Television Champion. He held the title for a year before losing it. He later won the CWFH Heritage Heavyweight Championship in 2013. Sky won the Television title two more times, holding it for a record three reigns. His final reign ended in 2017.
Time in WWE (2012–2013)

Sky and Kazarian made history by becoming the first-ever AEW World Tag Team Champions in October 2019. This also made Sky the first African-American champion in AEW.
They successfully defended their titles at Full Gear. Sky even became the first wrestler in AEW to pin Chris Jericho. This earned him a shot at Jericho's AEW World Championship, but he lost. Sky and Kazarian lost the Tag Team Championship in January 2020. After that, Sky started focusing on wrestling by himself.
Men of the Year and TNT Champion (2021–2022)
