Awards/Achievements |
Bo Dallas signed a contract with WWE in 2008, and he was assigned to FCW for training as soon as he graduated high school.
While Bo was known by his real name at the beginning of his career, he teamed up with Kris Logan to defeat Ryback and Jon Culter.
During 2008-2009, he mainly wrestled in tag team matches. But in 2009, he changed his name to Tank Rotunda. After five months, he again changed his name to Bo Rotunda.
When he teamed up with his brother Duke, WWE gave them the name Rotunda brothers.
With his brother Bray, Bo won his first-ever championship title in 2009, the FCW Florida Tag Team Championship.
Due to injury, Bo was not seen in most matches at the end of 2009.
When he returned in 2010, he was given a chance to prove himself in singles.
Dallas won the FCW Florida Heavyweight Championship for the first time in 2011, but he lost it to Lucky Cannon just a month later.
Because of a lacerated kidney, Bo had to take a break of several months for complete bed rest.
Nevertheless, Bo came back with a bang and won the FCW Championship again and the FCW Tag Team Championship. Bo’s last match in FCW was in 2012, when he lost the Heavyweight Championship to Victor.
NXT
When WWE rebranded FCW as NXT, Bo became part of NXT as well. In NXT, he was given the ring name Bo Dallas, and he became famous under that name.
After a couple of months of feuding with Wade Barrett, Bo was seen in a tag team match, which he lost due to interference from Bray Wyatt.
After defeating Big E in 2013, Bo finally had the chance to hold the NXT Championship. Bo was doing well in NXT, but not as well as he had hoped, but he never gave up and kept trying to make it to WWE‘s main event.
Debut in WWE
WWE began airing motivational vignettes for introducing Bo in 2014, and after one month of hype, Bo made his main roster debut against Sin Cara.
Due to Kane’s interference, Bo was never able to face Kingston in his first pay-per-back match. He won fourteen consecutive matches on SmackDown, but R-Truth broke his undefeated streak.
After that, Bo had a feud with Mark Henry, which ended with Dallas losing after three matches. After that, Bo wasn’t getting much audience attention, so WWE again changed his gimmick in 2016.
Bo, Heath Slater, Curtis Axel, and Adam Rose debuted as a new WWE group in the 2016 Raw episode to assist Slater in defeating Dolph Ziggler.
Sadly, this storyline didn’t give Bo the feedback he expected, and in 2017, The Miz became a part of the team to spice up the storyline.
Bo finally gets a chance to win a tag team championship after so many years on WWE‘s main roster. Bo gave his best, but he couldn’t reach his goals.
WWE responded positively to Bo’s request for a break after he suffered a neck injury in 2020.

His uncles are also wrestlers, Barry Windham and Kendall Windham. In addition, Bo Dallas has a wrestling brother, Bray Wyatt (Windham Lawrence Rotunda).
He has been with the WWE for a very long time
Even though Bo has not been featured as much as other WWE superstars on the main roster, he has been with WWE for quite some time. Bo Dallas first signed to the old FCW (Florida Championship Wrestling); this was the former WWE training and development division. He remained on FCW from 2008 through 2012.
A fantastic feud with Adrian Neville occurred during Bo Dallas’ time at NXT, after Florida Championship Wrestling became NXT.

The first time Bo Dallas’ Bo-Lieve character was introduced to the RAW crowd was on April 7, 2014. This was the vignette that started the iconic Bo-Lieve stick.
My love for Bo Dallas, the motivational speaker character, was unmatched by some fans. If I wasn’t laughing, I was cheering with the rest of the Bo-Lieve nation. Hopefully, the WWE will give that character more TV time in the future, but so far Bo is doing well with the B-Team tag team.
