Disposition/Alignment: Pure Babyface

Gimmick: The last time we saw Steven Cassidy was back in late January in tag team action. He was representing his former stable, Ronin, with his partner and mentor, Koji Senju, as they took on Phantom Troupe's John Doe and Saul Omen. In the end, Steven and Koji came up short and after the bell rang, things only went south. Doe brutally attacked both Steven and Koji to send a message to Shoot Nation's Masanori Kawada. An act so heinous, it ended Koji's career and almost ended Steven's as well. Steven would spend a few weeks in a hospital to recover from his undisclosed injuries and after that, he completed his physical therapy. Once he was given the green light to resume in-ring activities, his eagerness to return to SSW was met with doubt and guilt. He began to doubt/question if his body would be able to hold up long term while pursuing his childhood dream, as well as if he had enough talent to make it to the next level. He had guilt from thinking what happened to Koji was his fault and views himself as some kind of bad luck charm because of it. But after a few months off to clear his head, he realized that was a silly way to think and he could no longer blame himself for the past and finally move on. For the past month, Steven has been training with Shoot Nation's Young Lions in order to improve as an all-around wrestler and not just be some "spot monkey" as some referred to him as before. Steven is still green/inexperienced, but he will only get better with time. Or at least we can hope.
