Early life

Benjamin Satterley was born in Newcastle upon Tyne on 22 August 1986, the son of Stephen and Gill (sometimes spelled Jill) Satterley. He was extremely active as a child and participated in sports such as football, hockey, roller hockey, basketball, and swimming. His interest in wrestling came about through one of his aunts, who was a fan of the World Wrestling Federation. His parents had banned him from watching wrestling at their house, so he would go to his aunt's house to watch it. His favorite wrestlers growing up were The Undertaker and "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan. By the age of 16, Satterley had wrestled with backyard wrestling organizations TWXW in Gateshead and FXW in nearby Middlesbrough. Satterley also visited Scarborough Wrestling Alliance in Scarborough and Essex Championship Wrestling in Essex. Even as one of the younger wrestlers in the group, Satterley's technical ability and athleticism ensured he was always in the most entertaining matches. Many of the FXW roster went on to form 3Count Wrestling (3CW), an organization Satterley would later return to. He started training as a wrestler on a more permanent basis at the age of 18 at St Joseph's Hall in Gateshead, described by Satterley as "pretty much the only wrestling school in the area".

Personal life

Satterley is a supporter of his hometown football club Newcastle United. His favorite band is The Specials, and his WWE ring name was a reference to one of their former band members, Neville Staple. He is close friends with fellow professional wrestlers Sami Zayn, Kevin Owens, Bryan Danielson, Zack Sabre Jr, Kenta, and Shingo Takagi.He is married living a private lifestyle.
