Nick Wayne is an AEW wrestler. He is the only child of wrestler Buddy Wayne and his wife Shayna Wayne. Wyane is a third generation wrestler from a wrestling family (father and maternal grandparents). From the beginning, his father and mother encouraged his interest in the court.
The tall man’s father was no longer here to celebrate his son’s achievements, but he left him with a legacy to carry on. The elder Wayne died when Nick was only 11 years old, leaving his mother to raise him into a handsome young man. The one-time DEFY World Champion was born Nick Finely on July 10, 2005, in Seattle, Washington, although he is better known by his nickname “Nick Wayne.” Wayne debuted in wrestling in 2018 and has since competed for Without A Cause, Lucha Libre Volcanica, and Invasion Championship Wrestling.
Darby Allin, a wrestler and his friend, offered him an AEW contract on February 12, 2022, when he was 16 years old. Nick was still a student at Cascade High School at the time. Therefore, after he graduates from high school and turns 18, he will be able to switch from an apprentice to a professional wrestler. He made his AEW Dynamite debut on July 12, 2023 (two days after his 18th birthday), but lost to Swerve Strickland. He joins the ranks of wrestlers like Sting, Chris Jericho, Jeff Hardy, Matt Hardy, and Adam Cole, to name a few.
Nick Wayne’s Parents: Buddy Wayne And Shayna
Buddy Wayne, Wayne’s father, is a retired wrestler, and Shayna, Wayne’s mother, is a model. They tied the knot in the early 2000s. On 17 September 2017, three months after his death, she tweeted a photo of herself with her husband and declared that they had been together for over a decade.
“3 months today… 13 years…today,” he wrote. “I’m at a loss for words.”
Buddy (real name: Steve Finley) Wayne, Nick Wayne’s father, made his wrestling debut in 1985 for All-Star Wrestling in Vancouver. The late wrestler was well known in the Pacific Northwest and worked for organizations such as Championship Wrestling USA. From the 1990s to 2003, he wowed audiences in WCW and WWE with his skills, joining the ranks of Shawn Michaels, Bam Bam Bigelow, and Edge.
Buddy Wayne Academy was established in Everett, Washington, in 2006 by Buddy and his wife, Shayna. He never officially retired from wrestling despite cutting back on his ring appearances, but he was a seasoned performer on stage when he entered. Unexpectedly, the pro wrestler’s family appears in the plot of the show, and his wife is no exception. She was born Shayna Edwards and comes from a wrestling family: her uncle, Moondog Ed Moretti, is a wrestling legend. She is a model, and she often posts images from her modeling shows on Instagram.
He Was Detained With His Mother At The Airport
Wayne and his mother were detained in Iceland with an emergency landing on July 24, 2022, while returning home after his PROGRESS Wrestling debut in Frankfurt, Germany. It was due to a bomb threat written on the toilet mirror. Authorities questioned her mother, Shayna, who believed she had the cosmetic kit used to write the threats. Later, the wrestler confirmed that the mother-daughter team had returned home safely.
Wayne’s Father Died When He Was 11 Years Old
Nick’s father, Buddy Wayne, died of a heart attack on June 17, 2017, when he was in his pre-teens. The late wrestler had a history of heart problems, having undergone open heart surgery in 2009 and another in 2013. His death shocked and saddened the family, leaving his wife Shayna to face motherhood of their only son, who was 11 at the time. Wayne’s wrestling career is undeniably a tribute to his wrestling father.
According to reports, Nick started wrestling seriously when he was nine years old and used to train with his father. On April 27, 2018, he will make his wrestling debut at the age of 13, two years after his father’s death.
Nick Wayne, Did He Reject His Mother?
On October 18, 2023, during an episode of Dynamite, Wayne sat down with his mother and the show’s host, Jim Ross, and seemingly abandoned his parents. They come down to talk about him leaving old friend Darby Allin at WrestleDream on October 1st, siding with Christian Cage during Cage vs. Allin for the AEW TNT Championship. Nick said in the interview that he had found a new “father figure,” referring to Cage and that the latter was “a better father figure than his father.”
Christian then enters the scene, trying to take Wyane with him. As her mother, Shayna, sobbed and tried to stop her, she exclaimed, “You’re a terrible mother,” to which she responded with a slap. Furthermore, he soon shared the tape of the interview on Instagram. Although it appears genuine, fans familiar with theatrical wrestling plots refer to it as a dramatic setting for future storylines.
