[edit] Career

After graduating from Senior School Sixth Form, Lewington attended Farnborough College of Technology where he earned a Higher National Diploma in Aeronautical Engineering.

However after gaining an interest in professional wrestling, Lewington applied and was accepted to attend an Ohio Valley Wrestling Tryout in America between February 23 –28, 2003. Lewington's official training began 8 months later in the beginners' class at the Old Davis arena.

Lewington would return to England in late 2004 where he would work with All Star Wrestling. Throughout early 2005, Lewington would train and appear with ASW as well as becoming the subject of an episode of UKTV People's Secret Life of the Gym.

While WWE was touring England in 2005, Lewington would make three appearances on its main programming, once as a jobber on Carlito's Cabana, once as a jobber to Kurt Angle after Angle disrespected England (the show was in UK) and once as part of the WWE security squad that helped keep the warring RAW and SmackDown! battlers apart. Other British wrestlers including Robbie Brookside and Thunder were a part of the security team.

After his appearances in WWE programming in 2005, Lewington stayed in the United Kingdom to compete for the ASW promotion, under the ring name Steve Sonic. During January, Steve Sonic faced Drew McDonald in a ladder match for the ASW British Heavyweight Championship, a match he would win. Sonic would remain champion for several months before relinquishing the title to return to WWE's developmental promotion in July 2006.

During April 2006, WWE would once again tour England allowing Lewington to make another appearance on RAW; this time as a jobber for Umaga. His performance in this match would earn Lewington a developmental deal.
