Who are Pretty Deadly on WWE NXT? Age, title reigns, personal relationships and more explored

Pretty Deadly (Elton Prince and Kit Wilson) captivated the wrestling world with their one-of-a-kind wrestling gimmicks and diversified styles. During the early years of their careers, the duo competed on multiple independent promotions in the UK before signing with WWE.

They kickstarted their wrestling careers on independent promotions in 2015, under the monikers Lightning Lewis and Sammy Smooth. They were also associated with Progress Wrestling, Revolution Pro Wrestling and International Pro Wrestling: United Kingdom. While Prince and Wilson worked as a tag team they also actively competed in singles competitions.

Elton Prince (real name Lewis Howley) was born on May 21, 1997. He tends to keep his personal life away from the limelight. Prince appeared on the UK reality show First Dates in 2017 where he went on a blind date with a girl named Jade, who later ghosted him. It also turned out to be one of the worst dates on the show.

Kit Wilson (real name Sam Stoker) was born on August 4, 1994 in London, UK. In March last year, he got engaged to fellow NXT star Stevie Turner. The couple announced their engagement via Instagram.

Pretty Deadly are known for their signature 'yes boy' catchphrase and quirky wrestling gear. Prince and Wilson competed on NXT Vengeance Day in a losing effort to Gallus, The New Day and Chase University's Andre Chase and Duke Hudson.

Pretty Deadly had an impressive and dominant run on NXT UK. This is prominent from their reign as NXT UK Tag Team champions, which they held for 287 days, followong the 497 day reign by Gallus (Mark Coffey and Wolfgang).
