Akamu Rivera



Akamu Rivera is a Scottish professional wrestler currently signed to Kingdom under his real name. He is one of the most notorious men in Scotland and was once in charge of a hit man organization before they were disbanded once Akamu had moved on. Akamu has a rough childhood as his birth parents were murdered right in front of him in cold blood as a baby, the closest family he had was Liam's family. Both men grew up together and had a tight brotherly bond that was hard to break. Life got worse for them both as the entire tribe was treated like dirt in the outside world which made school life for them harder. In middle school the then staff were surprisingly nice to Akamu and one man even had a tribal background, they could both understand each other. A few days after, he gets into a fight with another middle school boy and resulted in Akamu seriously injuring the boy after busting open his face and giving him several bruises. Akamu started changing from here on out and him and his cousin started having a lot of conflict with each other and sometimes resulting in fights of their own, but in the end they knew they only had each other. Akamu finished middle school with everyone else who was terrified of him and high school got a lot worse. Akamu and his cousin Liam would both train several hours of MMA and other martial arts like BJJ and Sambo which made them a lot stronger than everyone else that was in their year. Another boy who was essentially the Hardman came up to Akamu shouting at him, several offensive slurs and disrespecting his heritage, everyone else gathered in a circle around them both outside and was laughing at Akamu which made him furious. The boy started talking about Akamu's birth parents and he had enough and beat his soul out of him. This was also the birth of an iconic move Akamu has used several times being the Armbar, which he put the boy in and nearly tore of his arm and broke it in several places. Everyone around him was shaking and it took multiple people and his cousin to get him off. The conflict continued to rise between the two men and nothing was going right. Akamu and Liam would both be the only ones training and it would be complete silence between them both, only the sounds of the punching bag. Akamu was also receiving anger management which was a complete waste of time for him. By the age of 15, Akamu had started drinking heavily and smoked. No one that knew him would even bat an eye towards him as everyone was scared of him, he had that aura about him. One night he was in an alleyway of a shop lighting a cigarette when Liam found him. Amidst all of the shouting, 2 men with black suits slowly walked up the alleyway towards them. They offered Akamu and Liam roles as hitmen. Liam was reluctant but Akamu with no expression on his face accepted and Liam wanted to stand by his cousin. Akamu was the perfect man for the job, if he needed to pull the trigger he would do it, he was a trained killer by the age of 16, even Liam was. Their parents hadn’t caught wind of any of this, telling each day when the both came home how proud of them they both were. The training continued for them both and conflict still happened but got worse as time went on, using weapons, giving each other black eyes, even choking each other. Everything got too much for Liam and he moved on from being a hit man leaving his cousin Akamu by himself. Liam and Akamu went down two different paths in life and another life changing event for them both happened at the age of 18. Akamu had came home and his family found out what he was doing. This caused the entire tribe to fight almost splitting it apart and Akamu swung for his dad and started beating his brother and shot him in the leg. Akamu walked out in his own accord with tears in his mother’s eyes and everyone in our shock. It was almost purely silent apart from his mothers crying. Akamu changed. The tribe had indeed finally split that day and everyone had walked out to rebuild their owns lives. Leaving Liam's father and mother and himself as the only ones left. Liam went out looking Akamu all night and it was hopeless. Liam had returned to realize that his home had been invaded, this was the first time this had ever happened. He bolted in and found his parents right in the Center both dead with multiple gun shots. The gun was left on their bodies and he realized that gun belonged to Akamu. Liam kneeled beside his dead parents with no one else left. While he was grieving the tribe had came back as they realized that they can’t let one incident brake them, but they didn’t expect to see what they did. The tribe was now lead under liams wing by himself and Akamu had become the new leader of the deadly organization that ended the bond between Liam and the lives of his parents. Many years later Akamu Became the most notorious man in Scotland and Liam became a leader in his own right, tribal men had became the most respected men and Liam had a very beautiful wife who was pregnant with his son but on that very night Akamu came home by himself to finish the job. Liam and his wife Isla, sat alone talking about what they would call their son and how life had treated them. Just as they decided to name the boy Andrew a gun shot was heard right next to their home Akamu had came back and slaughtered the entire camp, it came down to Akamu and Liam who spoke his final words to his wife. Akamu put several shots into Liam which almost killed him. Akamu found his wife hiding and slit her throat. He moved both bodies into the Center just like he did with his parents and lit the entire camp on fire. Akamu had destroyed a legacy and everything he was told to stand for. It was just him and his girlfriend (and later wife) Alexis left. Now Liam of course didn’t actually die from that day and neither did his wife’s baby. Liam, his son and his daughter were truly the last ones left. Akamu and Liam have now found themselves in APW and both of them are in factions known as Anar-Key and Slain Innocence. He finally wants to end what he should have many years ago. Slain Innocence is a faction made up of some of Liam's closest friends and allies being Reignz and Punk, was assumed it was his best friend Apekz leading it, but it was found out to be Blackheart rather than Apekz, who stole Apekz's form and posed as him. Akamu had selected these men to be by his as well as Blackheart's side while he finally ends the legacy Liam stands, and his entire family, although Apekz returned and defeated Blackheart, ending his reign of terror. Akamu was the last Billion Dollar Champion in the APW era. Akamu's most recent title reign was the LGBT Championship, he lost the title to Tyler Kirkham at Episode 19.
