His last appearance for WOS was a losing effort in a tag team match with Kay Lee Ray vs. Will Ospreay and Bea Priestley.[18] [19]

Insane Championship Wrestling (2010–2021)

Stevie Xavier began working security for ICW before debuting in Insane Championship Wrestling for a squash loss in 2010.[20]

He was then repackaged with a Ned gimmick as part of The Bucky Boys (named after Buckfast tag team).[21] The pairing and their manager The Wee Man[22] were featured in the VICE documentary The British Wrestler.[23] [21] The duo became the ICW Tag Team Champions in 2013 by defeating Dickie Divers and William Grange in a ladder match at ICW: Get To Da Choppa and again in 2014 by defeating The Sumerian Death Squad (Michael Dante and Tommy End) and The New Age Kliq (Chris Renfrew and BT Gunn) at ICW: A Show in London. During their two reigns, they would defend the titles against The Coffey Brothers (Mark Coffey and Joe Coffey) and The Big Hangovers (Jordan Devlin and Shawn Maxer).,[24] [25] [26] [27] Greg Burridge subbed for Davey Boy to team with Stevie in defence against The London Riots (Rob Lynch and James Davis).[28]

Stevie Boy won the ICW Zero-G Championship[29] [2] [30] in 2015 before turning heel to join the New Age Kliq.[31] He successfully defended the title against Kenny Williams, Wolfgang, Mikey Whiplash, Noam Dar, Joe Hendry and Lionheart before losing it to his former partner Davey Boy.[32] As a heel, he then joined Drew Galloway, Red Lightning and Jack Jester in The Black Label stable, before becoming the leader of The Filthy Generation.[4]

On 19 November 2017, Stevie Boy defeated Mikey Whiplash, Chris Renfrew and Jimmy Havoc to become the inaugural King of Insanity.[30] [10] [33] This match earned him the Scottish Wrestling Network Match of the Year award.[34]

On 11 February 2018, Stevie Boy won the Square Go! rumble match to earn a shot at the ICW World Heavyweight Championship.[35] [36]

At ICW: BarraMania 4, Stevie Boy defeated Kenny Williams to retain his Square Go! briefcase before interrupting a match between BT Gunn and Mikey Whiplash in order to cash-in his contract and become the ICW World Heavyweight Champion for the first time.[5] [37] This victory also earned him his status as both the second ICW Triple Crown Champion and ICW Grand Slam Champion.[38] [5] [37] [39] He held the title until July when he lost it to DCT.[6] [40]

After the death of the reigning champion Lionheart,[41] [42] Stevie regained the vacant ICW World Heavyweight Championship by defeating WWE NXT UK's Wolfgang at ICW: Shug's Hoose Party 6.[43] While champion, Stevie won a non-title match with Andy Wild[44] [45] and retained the title on two occasions, against former champions Rudo Lightning[46] and Joe Coffey[47] before he was defeated by the WWE contracted[48] Noam Dar at ‘’ICW: 9th Annual Square Go!’’.[49] [50] [51]
