Scorpio Sky in August 2022
Early Career and Rise in the Independent Scene
Schuyler Andrews, born in Los Angeles, California, initiated his professional wrestling training at age 19 following high school graduation, enrolling at the Revolution Pro Rudos Dojo in Southern California amid the region's active independent wrestling circuit. This environment, featuring promotions like Empire Wrestling Federation and local indie events, provided foundational exposure to scripted combat athletics.

He debuted in Revolution Pro in June 2002 as a masked wrestler named Gallinero Tres in a match with Top Gun Talwar. After losing the match he spent the rest of 2002 under the mask from June until November when he re-debuted as Scorpio Sky in the Rudos Dojo "Fight For the Revolution" Battle Royal, a tournament where the winner would receive a Revolution Pro contract. The finals saw Sky face Quicksilver.
Formation of Aerial Xpress (AXP)
Afterward, Sky and Quicksilver formed a tag team known as the Aerial Xpress (AXP). AXP received a strong push, defeating several other tag teams (such as Super Dragon and TARO) and were named the Southern California Tag Team of the Year for 2003. They also won the 2003 Revolution Pro Tag Team of the Year award. Sky won the 2003 Revolution Pro Wrestling Rookie of the Year award after winning the Revolution Pro Wrestling Junior Heavyweight Title by defeating Super Dragon on August 4, 2003.
On October 18 he defeated Lost to become the last man to hold the APW-LA Light Heavyweight Championship and co-owned the Alternative Wrestling Show Tag Team Titles with Quicksilver. Later the APW-LA Lightweight title became the AWS Light Heavyweight Title and Sky was named the first champion.
Sky lost the Revolution Pro Junior title to Rising Son in December 2003 in a ladder match. His January 2004 rematch had to be postponed when doctors found he needed emergency surgery, which sidelined him for two months. He regained his title March 6, 2004 and remained champion for 10 months, surviving many title defenses. In the Summer of 2004, Sky and Scott Lost toured for Osaka Pro Wrestling in Japan. On October 16 Scorpio Sky won the Revolution J Tournament, by defeating Super Dragon, Quicksilver and Joey Harder in a 4-way match. In November 2004 he debuted in Combat Zone Wrestling in a "SoCal" match. AXP once again were named the Southern California Tag Team of the Year.
Pro Wrestling Guerrilla (PWG)
Sky joined Pro Wrestling Guerrilla (PWG), a new promotion owned by SoCal wrestlers Super Dragon, Joey Ryan, Disco Machine, Topgun Talwar, Scott Lost and Excalibur. In PWG, Sky and Quicksilver hooked back up with Dino Winwood as their manager to chase the PWG World Tag Team Championship. They received a shot at the champions Arrogance (Chris Bosh and Scott Lost), but were unable to dethrone them.

On February 12, 2005, the Aerial Xpress was given a rematch for the PWG Tag Team Title but were once again defeated by Bosh and Lost. Later in June, The AXP defeated Los Luchas (Zokre and Phoenix Star), thus becoming #1 contenders for the PWG tag team title. Bosh and Lost forced through stipulations that if the AXP lost the match, not only would that be their last tag team title opportunity, but they would also be forced to remove their masks. The Masks vs. Title Match took place on July 9, 2005, at 2nd Annual PWG Bicentennial Birthday Extravaganza: Night One. Quicksilver was taken out of the match due to injury after Bosh hit him with a chair leaving Sky alone. Though outnumbered Sky was able to roll up Lost for a three count. The match was named the Southern California Match of the Year for 2005.
Despite the victory, Sky was assaulted after the match by Lost, Bosh, and "The Technical Wizard" Joey Ryan. The next night Sky did not show up for a title defense and the Aerial Xpress were forced to vacate the title, and the team split. This led to Sky's "Disappearance To Africa" angle.
Sky was seemingly out of the wrestling business, but finally made his return in September, without a mask, to attack Scott Lost after his match with Christopher Daniels at PWG's Battle of Los Angeles tournament. Sky started 2006 on the sidelines with a knee injury. In February he returned and toured Germany and England on PWG's "European Vacation" shows.
When they returned to the states Sky feuded with the Human Tornado. During this feud Sky broke Tornado's ankle in a match taking place in Las Vegas. Tornado's then manager Jade Chung turned on him and formed an alliance with Sky. The self-proclaimed "Scorpio Sky Experience" became hated by the fans quickly, and helped Sky climb to the top of PWG, defeating the likes of Kevin Steen, Chris Hero, Homicide and Human Tornado. It was at this time the rivalry between Sky and Frankie Kazarian began, after Sky assaulted Frankie after a match and cut his hair on May 6, 2006.
In June, Sky toured in Europe, performing shows for 1PW, IPW, and Lucha Vavoom in England and the Netherlands. He competed in PWG's Battle of Los Angeles 2006 tournament on September 2, but was eliminated by Kazarian via disqualification after Jade Chung's interference. After Sky, Chris Bosh and Scott Lost defeated Kazarian and his tag team partners Chris Sabin and Alex Shelley, Frankie had enough and challenged Scorpio to a "Loser Leaves PWG" match which was to take place in January.

Soon after, The Dynasty seemingly brought Scorpio Sky back to PWG, but it was actually an impostor Sky who was noticeably smaller than the original. The real Sky eventually came into the ring out of the crowd and beat the fake Scorpio Sky out of the building. In the summer of 2007, Sky and Joey Ryan feuded, ending with Sky defeating Joey Ryan and thus winning his reinstatement back into PWG. In October Sky made his official return to PWG teaming with The Young Bucks (Nick and Matt Jackson) to defeat Los Luchas (Zokre, Phoenix Star and Nemesis) in a 6-man tag.
On July 30, 2010, Scorpio Sky made his return to Pro Wrestling Guerrilla to compete against Scott Lost in Lost's retirement match. Sky defeated Lost after hitting him with his own "Big Fat Kill" finishing move. After the match they shook hands and bid goodbye to the fans. During the summer of 2011, Sky once again began regularly working for PWG, reforming the Dynasty with Joey Ryan.
Wrestling Society X (WSX)
Sky participated in MTV's Wrestling Society X (WSX). In WSX, Sky had the gimmick of being "the best athlete in history...of Montclair High" and carried around two plaques that were awards he had won. He competed against the likes of Matt Sydal, Jack Evans, and 6-Pac.
Empire Wrestling Federation (EWF)
Sky began working regularly for the Empire Wrestling Federation (EWF) in 2007 quickly making waves in the Inland Title Series Tournament. He defeated JT Blackstar and Ryan Taylor to advance to the finals where he lost to Brandon Gatson. The match was nominated for the 2007 Match of the Year. Early in the year 2008, Sky chased for the EWF Heavyweight Championship held by Gatson. After defeating Dan Kobrick in a singles match he competed in a 4-way with Korbick, Bino Gambino and Gatson for the title. He was unsuccessful in winning being eliminated by Kobrick after a superkick from Gatson.
Scorpio Sky then earned a shot at Gatson's Heavyweight Title after defeating Dan "The Man" Kobrick and Terex in a #1 contender's three-way dance. After the match, Gatson went out to congratulate Sky and then leveled him with a superkick. Their match at the 12th Anniversary Extravaganza was one of the most hyped matches in the history of the EWF and held the rare distinction of being scheduled for 2 out of 3 falls. Later that month on May 31 he defeated Lil Cholo and Karl Anderson in the AWS promotion to win the AWS Heavyweight Title, again becoming a double champion and being dubbed the "King of SoCal".
Sky successfully defended his EWF Heavyweight title 11 times over the summer defeating the likes of Ryan Taylor, Scott Lost and Joey Ryan in the process. On August 16 Sky lost the AWS heavyweight title to Scott Lost. Days later it was announced that he had suffered a serious back injury leading to him relinquishing the EWF heavyweight title on August 22.
On April 26, 2009, Sky defeated Johnny Paradise to become #1 Contender for the AWS Heavyweight title. He faced Scott Lost for the title on May 17 but was unsuccessful due to a double count-out finish. On July 10, 2009, Sky defeated nine other men in a cash out match to become the first EWA Champion.

He defeated Kenny King at their second show on March 26, 2016. Sky held the Sideshow title until early 2017 when he was pinned by Leva Bates. Sky then defeated Michael Elgin, Brody King, Mr. 450, and Andy Daulton en route to challenging Cody Rhodes for the ROH World title at Wrestle Circus "Cody Rhodes Summer Show". Cody pinned Sky after hitting Cross Rhodes onto a pile of thumbtacks.
NWA Championship Wrestling From Hollywood
On September 17, 2010, the Hollywood-based NWA territory launched a weekly television show on KDOC. Sky's first appearance on "NWA Championship Wrestling From Hollywood" came on October 8, 2010, challenging Adam Pearce for the NWA World Heavyweight title. He came very close to winning but Pearce used a low blow followed by a piledriver to secure the victory. After the match, Rocky Romero & Claudio Castagnoli attacked Sky from behind. Joey Ryan and Willie Mack came to Sky's aid leading to a 6-Man tag match on October 22. Joey Ryan, Willie Mack, and Scorpio Sky were successful. On the December 3rd edition Sky was seen laid out in the dressing room from an attack. On December 10 Sky faced and defeated "Pretty" Peter Avalon. On the January 7th edition Sky defeated Austin Aries in a 1 on 1 match. Soon after it was announced that the Sky/Aries rivalry would continue in a Best of 5 Series of matches. The second match between the 2 took place on February 4; Aries was the winner injuring Scorpio Sky's knee in the process. Two weeks later Aries & NWA World Heavyweight Champion Adam Pearce defeated Sky & Joey Ryan in a tag team match on February 18. Sky got his revenge on March 12 when he defeated Aries in Match 3 of their series; pinning him after a vicious knee strike to the face. Aries wouldn't stay down long as he defeated Sky on March 18 in Match 4, giving him a concussion with a series of blows to the head. The 5th and final match in the series took place on May 7.

Finally, on July 10, 2011, Sky pinned So Cal Crazy after hitting the "Ace of Spades" to win the tournament and become NWA Hollywood's first Television champion. Sky's first title defense came on September 17 when he defeated Ray Rosas. He once again defended his title on October 22 against Willie Mack. Despite Mack coming very close, Sky was able to pick up the victory after delivering the Ace of Spades. Shortly after Sky assembled a stable known as "The Experience" with strength coach Big Duke and agent Xtian Cole. The Experience would often be escorted to the ring by women and begin every match with a ring girl circling the ring with an "Experience" placard. Sky defended the Television title 3 more times before his year-long title run ended losing it to Willie Mack on July 22, 2012. He was unsuccessful in the rematch losing via pinfall.
Sky defeated Johnny Yuma, Peter Avalon, and Ray Rosas in a 4-way qualifier to earn another shot at Mack's Television title in a ladder match. On May 5, 2013, Sky was the last man eliminated in the finals of the Red Carpet Rumble to crown the first ever CWFH Heritage Heavyweight Champion by Shaun Ricker. He defeated Ricker in a rematch at the tapings later on that night to win the Heritage title, but the match was never aired due to the controversial finish. On November 3, 2013, Scorpio defeated Matt Striker to retain the title. On January 12, 2014, Sky lost the title to Ricky Mandel. He returned on September 14, 2014, attacking Vermin. On September 28, 2014, he teamed with Big Duke to defeat Vermin's Johnny Yuma & Johnny Goodtime via disqualification. Sky spent the first half of 2015 feuding with Vermin defeating Ryan Taylor for the Television title on January 25, 2015, then losing it to Kevin Martenson on March 22, 2015.
Sky challenged Yuma for the Heritage title at the Red Carpet Rumble in July but was defeated. Sky made a full time return even defeating Heritage champion Peter Avalon in a non-title match to secure a shot at the 2016 Red Carpet Rumble. Despite coming close many times Sky was unsuccessful in defeating Avalon. In September 2016 at Milestone Sky pinned Willie Mack after a knee strike to secure the victory. He then chased Bateman for the television title finally capturing it for a record third time in early 2017. Sky successfully defended the title against David Starr at CZW in April and then defeat Ricky Mandel at Coastline Clash. His reign came to an end when the returning Rocky Romero defeated Sky in an open door challenge. The rematch took place at the 2017 Red Carpet Rumble.
WWE and TNA Appearances
On the August 27, 2012, episode of WWE Raw, Andrews played a character known as "Harold" in one of Daniel Bryan's anger management classes that also involved Kane. He also appeared the following week, again as Harold, as Kane and Daniel Bryan continued with their anger management.
On June 28, 2012, Andrews, working under the ring name Mason Andrews, made his debut for Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA), losing to Rashad Cameron in a TNA X Division Championship tournament qualifying match on Impact Wrestling. On July 8 at Destination X, Andrews defeated Dakota Darsow, Lars Only and Rubix in a Last Chance match to earn his way back into the tournament. Mason Andrews returned again on April 4, 2013, edition of TNA Impact to compete in a No.
Ring of Honor (ROH)
Sky returned to Ring of Honor (ROH) more consistently in 2017, aligning with Christopher Daniels and Frankie Kazarian to form SoCal Uncensored (SCU) following their appearance at Final Battle in December. Sky made his return to the promotion on September 29, 2017, and unsuccessfully challenged Cody for the ROH World title.
Sky's exposure to NJPW influences extended to competitive settings via Ring of Honor's co-promotions with NJPW, such as the 2018 War of the Worlds tour, where he teamed with SoCal Uncensored (SCU) stablemates Christopher Daniels and Frankie Kazarian against Japanese talent. On May 11, 2018, in Lowell, Massachusetts, SCU defeated Rocky Romero, SHO, and YOHâa trio representing NJPW's junior heavyweight divisionâin a six-man tag team match, showcasing Sky's ability to counter aerial maneuvers and chain wrestling against strong style opponents. Earlier that tour, on May 9, SCU lost the ROH World Six-Man Tag Team Championship to The Kingdom in a title defense, but Sky's performances demonstrated versatility in multi-man formats amid international crossovers.
Complementing these efforts, Sky engaged in ROH singles and tag competition, including a victory over Jay Briscoe at Global Wars 2018 on August 18 in Chicago, further networking within ROH's ecosystem tied to NJPW partnerships. On October 14, 2018, at ROH's Glory by Honor XVII, Sky and Kazarian captured the ROH World Tag Team Championship from The Briscoe Brothers, a pragmatic step that highlighted SCU's cohesion with veteran indie wrestlers and solidified Sky's credentials in fragmented North American promotions.

All Elite Wrestling (AEW)
Scorpio Sky signed with All Elite Wrestling (AEW) in early 2019 as part of SoCal Uncensored (SCU) alongside Christopher Daniels and Frankie Kazarian, who were among the first talents contracted by the promotion prior to its inaugural event. The stable debuted on AEW's initial Dynamite episode on October 2, 2019, establishing a tag team division presence through competitive matches against teams like The Lucha Brothers.
SCU continued as a tag team unit, with Sky and Kazarian recapturing the AEW World Tag Team Championship on July 29, 2020, at Fight for the Fallen, reigning for 56 days before dropping the belts to The Young Bucks on September 23, 2020. The group disbanded in 2021 after internal tensions, allowing Sky to pursue singles competition.
Sky's singles momentum peaked in 2022 when he won the AEW TNT Championship for the first time on March 9, 2022, by defeating Sammy Guevara via roll-up after interference from Taylor Hyman, ending Guevara's reign at 42 days; this 38-day title hold included defenses against Dante Martin and Ethan Page.
Scorpio Sky took an extended hiatus from All Elite Wrestling (AEW) television following his match on September 27, 2023, against Ethan Page on AEW Dynamite. This period marked the beginning of multiple absences, initially attributed to a combination of prior injuries and subsequent booking decisions within the promotion.
