Daniel Garcia (born 1998) is a professional wrestler currently making waves in AEW, ROH, and PWG. He is best known for his technical wrestling style, championship victories, and appearances in All Elite Wrestling (AEW). For his wrestling style, Garcia was known as The Red Death for a long part of his career. After his meteoric victory against Bryan Danielson, he also earned the nickname of Dragon Slayer.

Garcia's career began in the independent circuit in 2017. Here, he established himself as a technical wrestler, focusing on submissions and strategic maneuvers. This gained him recognition in promotions like Limitless Wrestling and Capital City Championship Combat. He also had brief appearances in WWE's developmental programs.

In 2020, Garcia signed with AEW, initially competing on their secondary show, Dark. His impressive skills quickly earned him a full-time contract in 2021. Since then, he has participated in high-profile matches against established stars like Sammy Guevara and Bryan Danielson. Notably, Garcia's victory over Danielson, a wrestler he deeply admires, solidified his reputation as a serious contender and earned him the nickname "The Dragon Slayer." Daniel Garcia has won quite a few titles in his relatively short career, most prominently the ROH Pure Championship and the PWG World Championship.

Daniel Garcia Nicknames
