On March 2, 2026, All Elite Wrestling (AEW) extended birthday wishes to rising talent Bishop Kaun, who turned 36 years old. The Jacksonville-based wrestling promotion acknowledged the milestone for the athlete known within the industry as a dedicated and promising figure. Bishop Kaun has developed a growing presence in AEW, which aligned with his professional journey beginning in 2017 and gaining traction through key appearances in linked promotions.
Bishop Kaun began his wrestling career in 2017 and made his major debut in 2018 with Ring of Honor (ROH), before the company was acquired by AEW owner Tony Khan. Following this transition, Kaun has been active in both ROH and AEW, building momentum. A significant highlight in his career has been his tag team partnership with Toa Liona, forming the duo known as ‘The Gates of Agony’ around 2022. This alliance later evolved into a trio with former WWE superstar Ricochet, rebranded as ‘The Demand’ in AEW as of 2025.
Bishop Kaun Discusses Cultural Roots Behind Tattoo Similar to Roman Reigns
Bishop Kaun has provided insight into the meaning behind his tribal tattoo, which some have noted resembles the tattoo style of WWE megastar Roman Reigns. When asked about these similarities, Kaun clarified that although the tattoo placement matches Reigns’s, the design itself is deeply tied to his heritage.
“If anything, more so, just the placement of it. I know people find that as a commonality because it is a tribal tattoo. But all of the designs from that particular tattoo is from my tribe back in Cameroon, West Africa. My father is part of a tribe called Bakweri. We have this sacred relationship with elephants. So part of my tattoo is the traditional elephant mask, a lot of textiles from that particular region of the world. I also have a fisherman from the Cambodian tribes there as well. Similar placements, so I understand the tribal aspects. But everything with this is all particular to the Bakweri tribe and Cameroonean people.” (From 12:00 – 12:50)
