Personal life
Hall was born to Scott Hall and Dana Lee Burgio in 1991, and has a sister, Cassidy who was born March 27, 1995. He considers fellow professional wrestlers Kevin Nash and Sean Waltman as uncles due to them being close friends of his father.[3]

Professional wrestling career
Training (2010–2012)
Hall began to train as a professional wrestler as he wanted to follow in his father's footsteps and began training with his father and Chasyn Rance.[3]
Independent circuit (2012–present)
Hall's first match took place on July 14, 2012 in Belleview Pro Wrestling, defeating Josh Hess.[5] The following years, Hall worked in various promotions, usually in tag matches with Kevin Nash or Sean Waltman, both Scott Hall's friends. On November 15, 2014, at Superstars of Wrestling 2, Hall won the Superstars of Wrestling Championship after defeating Tim Zbyszko in a ladder match.[6] In 2014 Hall won the Georgia Heavyweight Champion from Southern Fried Championship Wrestling.
New Japan Pro Wrestling (2015–present)
In January 2015, Hall began training at the New Japan Pro Wrestling dojo.[7] On January 5 at New Year Dash!!, Hall debuted as Bullet Club's personal "young boy" trainee.[7] Hall made his NJPW in-ring debut on February 2, teaming with his stablemates Doc Gallows, Karl Anderson, Kenny Omega and Yujiro Takahashi in a ten-man tag team main event, where they were defeated by Captain New Japan, Hirooki Goto, Katsuyori Shibata, Ryusuke Taguchi and Hiroshi Tanahashi, who pinned him for the win.[8] As is the case with Young Lions or rookies in Japan, Hall would lose many of his first matches with New Japan often being pinned in multi tag matches, but achieved his first victory on April 2 at Wrestling Hi no Kuni in a tag team match, where he and Yujiro Takahashi defeated Captain New Japan and Satoshi Kojima.[9]
