BIOGRAPHY
Raiden was once an ordinary citizen in Japan, working a regular job at a medical clinic in Osaka, but these days, nothing is ordinary for him, huh?
Following a series of rather untimely demises regarding those he considered close friends, the first of many metamorphoses for the Japanese star, he would use this as a means to hone his body in preparation for what might happen, learning muay thai and kickboxing to strengthen his body and gain toughness. He would later make the move to pro wrestling, joining the ranks of Suzuki Blitz Wrestling and quickly making an impact during his rookie year in wrestling. He would go on to vie for the X*Crown three times in a row afterward, falling just short on each occasion. After the closure of SBW, Raiden would move Stateside to join Ascension Wrestling Federation, going on to win the AWF Prestige Championship and hold it for three months before losing it in the Wildfire Tournament. Following the loss, Raiden supposedly dropped from the wrestling radar entirely without much said.
In reality, Raiden returned to Japan as part of a recruitment call to establish the newly formed Harbingers in J-ROK alongside Kingsley Solomon, Hunter Storms, and Daigo Arakawa. Donning the mask of Jormungandr, The Harbinger of Pain, he and the others would go on to dominate the tag team division, though their momentum came to a halt after falling short in the finals of the 2020 Sakura Tag League to the New Age Killers. Afterward, all four returned Stateside to assist in the reopening of MCCW, now rechristened as Sin City Championship Wrestling, under the co-ownership of Kingsley Solomon and Aleister Mayfield. Raiden would continue to wrestle under the mask of Jormungandr, only to unmask following the win of the SCCW Double Down Championship, much to the stunned silence of the reporters. He would primarily defend the belts with Daigo as the Sons of Loki, even winning the 2023 Saints & Sinners Cup while they were champions. Their historic reign would come to an end at 371 days to The Nihilists at Settle Your Sins, leading to a planned contingency he and Kingsley had already worked out.
Now, he's here at the other end of the Vegas Strip, though his reasons for being here remain unknown outside of it having to do with something regarding the Harbinger ringleader.

ENTRANCE THEME:
"A Match Made In Heave" by Architects
ENTRANCE DESCRIPTION:
The first few haunting strums of "A Match Made In Heaven" by Architects seizes the speaker system, the lights dimming down as the song gradually transitions into its opening line while two figures walk out onto the stage.
"TELL ME WAS IT ALL WORTH IT TO WATCH YOUR KINGDOM GROW?"
"ALL THE ANCHORS IN THE OCEAN HAVEN'T SUNK THIS LOW!"
As the following "BLEGH!" comes and goes, the lights hastily return to their bright setting, revealing both Raiden Ishimori and Kingsley Solomon standing tall on the stage: Kingsley with his hands behind his back, bearing a smug grin while Raiden coldly stares out into the sea of fans that loudly boo their arrival, adjusting his black sleeveless hoodie. Rolling his neck for a brief moment, Raiden leads the two of them down the ramp, ignoring the people that jeer them during their trek down to the ring. Raiden climbs up onto the apron while Kingsley circles to the far side of the ring, Bone Cold entering through the ropes, and not bothering with entertaining the crowd, simply makes his way to the far corner. Peeling off the hoodie, he hands it off to Kingsley before leaning back into the corner, waiting for the starting bell.
