Out of Birmingham, England, Moloney debuted in NJPW at Royal Quest II, briefly ran with United Empire under Will Ospreay’s wing before turning on the faction to join forces with Clark Connors in the Bullet Club War Dogs, where the two became two-time IWGP Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Champions. His transition to the heavyweight division was announced emphatically with a win over Shingo Takagi at The New Beginning in Osaka 2025, rated four stars by the Wrestling Observer — a result that firmly established him among NJPW’s heavyweight ranks. He also picked up the PROGRESS Tag Team Championship alongside Man Like DeReiss, adding to a title résumé built on physicality and a bruising, strike-heavy style.
While stablemates David Finlay, Clark Connors, and Gabe Kidd all exited NJPW for AEW, Moloney re-signed after The New Beginning in Osaka on February 11, 2026, turning down significant interest from American promotions to remain in Japan. He competed at NJPW Dominion on June 14, 2026, entering a three-way match for the IWGP Global Heavyweight Championship against champion Andrade El Idolo and Shota Umino — now operating under the Unbound Co. banner following the War Dogs’ dissolution.
