He is signed to All Elite Wrestling (AEW) as an in-ring performer and also works behind the scenes as an executive producer of content for the promotion. He additionally appears for AEW’s sister promotion Ring of Honor (ROH). Standing 6 feet 2 inches tall and weighing roughly 170 pounds, Cutler is recognized as a steady on-screen presence who has become closely associated with The Elite faction.
Early Life and Background
Brandon Bogle was born on June 18, 1987, in California, United States. He grew up in the Southern California region, an area long considered one of the strongest hotbeds for independent professional wrestling in the country. From a young age, Bogle was drawn to the regional wrestling scene, where family-friendly venues and regular events gave young fans easy access to the craft. The Southern California independent circuit, known for its mix of lucha libre influences and hard-hitting American styles, helped shape his early interest in becoming a wrestler.
After finishing his schooling, Bogle committed to a career in professional wrestling and began the formal process of learning the business. His physical profile, height of about 188 centimeters and a lean build at 77 kilograms, gave him the frame of a versatile performer comfortable in a variety of match styles. These attributes would later help him adapt to long matches and high-impact spots throughout his career.
Path to Professional Wrestling
Bogle’s entry into professional wrestling came through one of the most respected tag teams of the modern independent era, The Young Bucks, Matt and Nick Jackson. Under their guidance, he learned the fundamentals of in-ring psychology, conditioning, and match pacing. The Jackson brothers, themselves California natives, ran High Risk Wrestling out of Victorville, California, and it was there that Bogle made his official in-ring debut.
He competed under the ring name Ronnie Tsunami and quickly became a familiar face on the West Coast independent circuit. Bogle spent most of his early years working through a stacked lineup of California-based promotions, including Empire Wrestling Federation, Alternative Wrestling Show, SoCal Pro Wrestling, Mach One Pro Wrestling, Vendetta Pro Wrestling, Battleground Pro Wrestling, Pro Wrestling LIVE, and Pro Wrestling Guerrilla. Each of these groups gave him a chance to refine his craft against different opponents. He also made an early debut appearance in Ring of Honor, expanding his experience beyond the West Coast scene. After 2011, Bogle stepped away from active wrestling for an extended period of about seven years.
Brandon Cutler Career
Early Career (2005–2011)
Brandon Bogle launched his career in 2005, working under the name Ronnie Tsunami across California’s independent wrestling circuit. He became a regular performer for High Risk Wrestling, the promotion operated by his trainers, The Young Bucks. Working closely with Matt and Nick Jackson allowed him to develop a smooth, athletic style suited to fast-paced tag team matches.
Throughout this period, he competed against a rotating roster of regional talent and visiting stars, sharpening his timing and storytelling. By the end of 2011, Bogle had built a reputation as a dependable hand in the California independents, but he chose to step away from active competition to focus on other pursuits.
Return to Professional Wrestling (2018)
Bogle returned to the squared circle on January 21, 2018, debuting for Alpha Omega Wrestling under the new ring name Brandon Cutler. The rebrand marked a clear reset and a fresh start in the industry. He quickly returned to the California scene, working for promotions such as Maverick Pro Wrestling, Bar Wrestling, LA Lucha, Alternative Wrestling Show, and Championship Wrestling From Hollywood.
During Alpha Omega Wrestling’s Unleashed VII event, he competed in a three-way match against Funny Bone and Steven Andrews for the AOW Dragon Class Championship. Cutler’s momentum continued to build when he was booked in the Over Budget Battle Royal at the landmark All In event on September 1, 2018, though he was unsuccessful in winning that match.
All Elite Wrestling (2019–Present)
In a Being the Elite episode, his longtime trainers Matt and Nick Jackson offered Brandon Cutler a contract with All Elite Wrestling, which he signed. Cutler debuted at AEW’s inaugural event Double or Nothing, where he entered the 21-man Battle Royale, eliminated Billy Gunn, and was then eliminated by MJF. He followed this by appearing on the first episode of AEW Dynamite, losing his singles debut against MJF by submission. A return to AEW Dark on October 23 saw Cutler drop another match to Joey Janela, beginning what became a long losing streak across both singles and tag team competition from October 2019 through November 2020.
On May 26, 2020, Cutler began a memorable storyline with Peter Avalon in a comedic race to the bottom, with both men seeking their first AEW victories. They teamed up, lost repeatedly to teams such as the Natural Nightmares, Jurassic Express, SoCal Uncensored, and The Young Bucks, and eventually formed a duo called The Initiative. After continued losses, Avalon turned on Cutler, restarting their feud. The rivalry culminated on October 27, 2020, on Dark, when Cutler finally defeated Avalon, snapping his long losing streak and sparking an eight-match winning streak that ended with a loss to Luchasaurus on January 19, 2021. Cutler earned his first AEW title shot on March 11, 2021, challenging Brian Cage for the FTW Championship in a losing effort, and he also appeared on Dynamite in early 2021 against Jake Hager and in a trios match against The Lucha Brothers and Laredo Kid.
Following The Young Bucks’ heel turn, Cutler aligned with The Elite as an associate stooge, frequently interfering in matches to help the faction win. His ring attire changed accordingly, as he began appearing in a tracksuit to match the new on-screen direction of the group.
