Backstory:
Bombarded with the concept of winning from birth, Dray Fontana was born into the infamous Roger-Fontana family, being the son of Mary Fontana and the late Jake Fontana, former British professional wrestler and owner of British multinational corporation FNT which is engaged in sports design, development, manufacturing ,worldwide marketing and sales of clothing, footwear, apparel and accessories. There was no other option but wrestling for Fontana, starting training with his father's FNT camp as early as 11. Fontana made his professional debut in England at the age of 18 before moving to America at 23 to pursue a career in EAW. After a rough start, Fontana graduallly accumulated success, beating the likes of Impact and Xander Payne for the PURE Championship, eventually losing it to Limmy Monagahan in a triple threat involving Adam Lucas. A loss to Lethal Consequences for the World Heavyweight Championship sent Fontana to a state of 'rock bottom' causing him to take two and a half years off in order to 'redeem himself'..
Disposition/Alignment:
Bigoted Heel
Character:
In an attempt to gain his original 'drive', Fontana has centered his purpose in life around accumulating success and ascendance in an attempt to reach a stage in his life where he can say he's filled his late father's shoes - that's all that matters to him truly and he's desperate to do so. As a result of falling short in the past, Fontana's grown more focused and driven, spending thousands on improving his mind, body and soul, yet Fontana has grown more frustrated, desperate, emotional and chaotic when faced with adversity. Nevertheless, Fontana remains the cunning, narcissistic, duplicitous and bigoted egotist he's always been, maintaining his incredibly inflated sense of importance in the wrestling world due to his background, talent and heritage. Fontana's still remains drowned in his belief, instilled in him by his father, that it's his ''God Given Task'' to become a World Champion - that drives him daily whilst furthering fuelling his belief that he's above most in the industry.
Due to hitting rock bottom yet again, Fontana's hate and spite for the wrestling world has further grown, deeming it 'as toxic as ever' and 'in need of his leadership'; consequently, Fontana remains as unruly, condescending and disrespectful as ever to anything or anyone involved in the wrestling world who isn't in unison with his beliefs, particularly despising the PURE Championship and anyone who's held it.

Pete Dunne (Progress)
Motivations:
Fontana's goal in wrestling is to eclipse what his late father, Jake Fontana, achieved by becoming a World Champion. However, Fontana will rarely ever admit this or the fact he's fallen short in this regard, only once ever admitting that his loss to Lethal Consequences at King of Elite 2021 for the World Heavyweight Championship hurt him more than ever. Nevertheless, Fontana believes it's his 'God-given task' to become a World Champion and doesn't plan on resting till he does so. Additionally, the idea of becoming a leader in a 'toxic' wrestling world pushes Fontana to work harder.
Tendency to Cheat:
When faced with any form of adversity towards the end of the match, Fontana will do so in desperation - commonly resorting to his brass knuckles gifted by his Father.

Manager Information
Name:
Paris Daniels
Government Name:
Paris Jayda Daniels
Nickname:
''The Driving Force''
Age:
25
Picture Base:
Maryse
Character:
Spokesperson and model for FNT, girlfriend and valet of Dray Fontana, Paris is as loyal as they come to Dray Fontana. The closest person to the man's heart, Paris has remained alongside Dray behind the scenes through trials and tribulations, being the driving force which pushed him back into wrestling. Once a complete contrast of Fontana, Paris absorbed Fontana's ideologies and beliefs, becoming more passionate about his beliefs than him. A true egomaniac herself, Paris is driven, bigoted, manipulative and cold yet loyal as they come to Dray, constantly sacrificing her time and herself in order to fuel the pursuit of his goals. Now standing alongside Dray, Paris is THE driving force in Fontana's life, constantly working to push him to his limits in order to see them both succeed
Character Notes:
- A skill of Fontana is being incredibly annoying and provocative throughout matches; this involves shouting at commentators and referees, constantly taunting opponents, constantly taunting and pissing off fans etc, try have him do that as much as possible
- Fontana is no longer the aggressive man he once was 24/7, he's a lot calmer than before, less hot headed and more confident
- In segments, Fontana usually wears a suit and is surrounded by the 'FNT Security Unit' for his 'protection'
- He's very gold-driven
- Paris does her all to influence matches in the way of Fontana, whether it'd be distracting the referee, putting Fontana's leg on the ropes, any dirty tactics known, she does. She also gives pep talks to Fontana during matches, becoming rather annoying
- Fontana gets as desperate as they come during matches, pleading with referees after near falls, using dirty tactics to get an advantage (eye rakes, low blows, grabbing the tights etc) and, at worst, begging opponents to stop fighting (as a form of bait)
- Fontana hates the sight or mention of the PURE Championship
