Career
Progress Wrestling (2017–2019)
On August 24, 2019, at Progress x APC, an event organized in collaboration between Progress Wrestling and the French promotion APC, Brookes lost to Tristan Archer in a three way match also including Aigle Blanc and failed to capture the APC Championship.[2]
Revolution Pro Wrestling (2017–2018)
Alongside Travis Banks as CCK (Commonwealth Catch Kings), Brookes won the Revolution Pro Wrestling tag team titles from Charlie Sterling and Joel Redman in his first match for the company.[3] CCK successfully defended those titles against a number of teams including Ryan Smile and Shane Strickland,[4] Sami Callihan and Martin Stone,[5] and Los Ingobernables de Japon (Bushi and Hiromu Takahashi)[6] before losing the belts to Moustache Mountain (Trent Seven and Tyler Bate).
CCK had a successful Global Wars 2017, defeating Chaos (Rocky Romero and Yoshi-Hashi) on the first night of the event[7] and successfully teaming with Kid Lykos on the second night against the team of Gedo, Hirooki Goto and Yoshi-Hashi.[8] CCK then attempted to regain the tag team titles from new champions Suzuki-gun (Minoru Suzuki and Zack Sabre Jr) but lost to the champions at Epic Encounter 2018.[9]
DDT Pro-Wrestling (2019–present)
Brookes started wrestling for DDT Pro-Wrestling in June 2019. He notably began teaming with Masahiro Takanashi before naming themselves CDK (Calamari Drunken Kings). At Wrestle Peter Pan 2019, Brookes and Takanashi defeated Moonlight Express (Mao and Mike Bailey). At Summer Vacation 2019, Brookes lost to Konosuke Takeshita and did not win the KO-D Openweight Championship.[10] From November 29, 2019 to December 28, Brookes was an entrant in the 2020 edition of the D-Oh Grand Prix where he tied Tetsuya Endo for first place in block A. A decision match was held between the two men which he lost. In January, Brookes announced that he would be moving to Japan for a whole year as he wants DDT to be his number one commitment. On February 23, 2020, at Into The Fight 2020, he defeated Takeshita and became the inaugural DDT Universal Champion.[11] On March 20, at Judgement 2020: DDT 23rd Anniversary, he lost the title to Daisuke Sasaki.[12]
