Professional wrestling career[edit]

Early career (2016–2020)[edit]

Tucker was trained to wrestle by AR Fox. He debuted on November 4, 2016 using the ring name "Alan Angels".[2]

All Elite Wrestling (2020–2022)[edit]

On the April 8, 2020, episode of AEW Dynamite, Angels made his AEW debut losing to Lance Archer. On the April 22, 2020 editon of Dynamite, Angels faced off against Kenny Omega in a losing effort. On June 5, it was revealed that Angels had been recruited as a new member of the Dark Order under the moniker of 5. He would later debut on the June 9, 2020 episode of AEW Dark, winning his first match against Lee Johnson.[3][4]

Over the summer of 2021, The Dark Order would face a bit of a divide, due to the leadership of Evil Uno. This would lead to Angels challenging Uno to a match on the September 7 edition of Dark, which Uno won. After being unmasked, Angels would begin wrestling without his mask. On the November 7, 2021 edition of Dynamite, Angels would once again face Omega, who was the AEW World Champion, in a losing effort.

On the July 16 edition of Dark (taped June 11), Angels would lose to Daniel Garcia in a pure rules match, which would end up being his final match for the company. Angels remained with the Dark Order and AEW until June 29, 2022, when he would leave the promotion upon the expiration of his contract.[5]

Impact Wrestling / Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (2022–present)[edit]

On the November 3, 2022, episode of Impact!, Angels, alongside Kon joined the stable Violent by Design, which already consisted of Eric Young and Deaner.[6] On the December 8 episode of Impact!, following the "death" of Eric Young (in reality, he departed the company upon the expiry of his contract), the group was renamed The Design, and Angels began going under the mononym of his in-ring surname.[7][8]

On the July 6, 2023, episode of Impact!, Angels lost to Jonathan Gresham. He then shook hands with Gresham against Deaner's orders and left the Design.[9][10] Since then, his ring name has been reverted back to Alan Angels.

At Impact 1000, Angels won an Ultimate X match to become the number #1 contender for the Impact X Division Championship. Angels would receive his title opportunity two weeks later, where he would lose to Chris Sabin.
