Bio:
Kyle Kemp found professional wrestling a few years ago when he joined the WCF. He had a good career there and still is active wrestling there but joined Action Wrestling because they offered him a contract he couldn't refuse. Once joining Action Wrestling he made the decision to join #FightSmart and immediately made an impact by helping Spencer Adams win the World Title on his first night. From that point forward he has fought hard and showing off while doing it. He eventually became Tag Team Champion with Spencer and has held that title since. Just after Thanksgiving 2018 Kemp was notified that his parents had been killed while on the run from police and hitmen and that his agent Mark was stealing from him. This brought out the insecurities that Kemp had tried to mask for quite some time and the feeling of loneliness and betrayal had caused Kemp to spiral into a dark place. He still fought alongside the other members of #FightSmart but there's noticeably something different about him.
From November of 2019 to Havoc of 2020 Kyle Kemp was a masked wrestler named Grayson Ward who started a cult-like FOLLOWING. He unmasked and shocked the world showing his identity to being Kemp the entire time. During Havoc 2020 Kemp and his followers eliminated Odin Balfore and then took him backstage with Kemp eliminating himself. After that Kemp convinced Odin to join him and they teamed together for a few months. However things weren't as smooth as Kemp wanted and he kicked Odin out of The Following. It seemed like this was the end for The Following but shortly after it was revealed that Wesley and Dandy DiVito had joined Kemp to form another version of The Following.
Kemp, Wesley and DiVito were dominant right out of the gates. They won Trios and very soon after Kemp and DiVito won the Tag Team Titles. They would go on to become the longest reigning Tag Team Champions in the history of AW. It seemed like nothing could stop The Following, especially after they added CJ Phoenix. However Wesley would be injured by Philidor and without him Dandy and Kemp begin to fight. It started as small bickering but eventually got to the point where Kemp and DiVito were forced to settle their differences at Evolution IV with the winner getting the Tag Team Titles and control of The Following. The loser would be left with nothing. Kemp was the loser and quickly blamed the remaining members of The Following.
The next week Kemp took matters into his own hands and effectively ended the group by lighting their compound on fire. If that wasn't an exclamation point on the groups demise the next week would seal it. Kemp led a brutal assault on CJ Phoenix and Chase Jackson, unleashing a more vicious and angry side that we haven't seen from Kemp before.
