Xavier held the ROH World Championship for 182 days between September 2002 and March 2003 before dropping the title to Samoa Joe. He would subsequently receive several tryouts for a job at WWE, making cameos as an enhancement talent on shows such as “WWE Jakked” and “WWE Velocity” and also appearing as an extra in backstage angles. He would eventually return to ROH in 2006 to start a brief feud with then-ROH World Champion Bryan Danielson before returning to the indies and later trying his hand out at MMA.
In 2020, Xavier was due to return to ROH for the company’s “Past vs. Present” event but those plans were halted due to the COVID-19 pandemic. He died in August 2020 due to undisclosed reasons.
