Boon-Mee Wayne ( April 8th, 1997) is a Thai-American Professional Wrestler. He is currently signed with the WWE, where he works under the Smackdown brand under the Ring name Casey Wayne. He's well known for his involvement in the second rebranding of ECW under the WWE banner and it's first Television Champion. He is also known for his time in CZW, GCW, and Pro Wrestling Noah as Chainsaw Jack.

Boon-Mee has been an active wrestler since 2015. He's also a practitioner of Muai Thai and Systema alongside his sisters, Aree and Ariya Chen, and their mother, Anya "KO Machine" Chen. He occasionally competes in MMA events and twice in the UFC, with one win and one loss to his name. He is also the Real Life friend of fellow professional wrestlers, Zante Maverick, Victor Walker, and Akame Yamamoto.

Early Life[]

Boon-Mee Wayne was born to Christopher Wayne, a military soldier of the United States and Anya "KO Machine" Chen, a Muai Thai practitioner on April 8th, 1997 in Bangkok Thailand. 3 Months after his birth, his family moved to Pittsburgh Pennsylvania after his mother retired from Martial Arts. Casey is the oldest of 3 children with his twin sisters, Aree and Ariya Chen being born on July 13th, 2002. They both would start training to become Muai Thai practitioners by the time they turned 7 years old. Casey also picked up the martial art in order to defend himself in a fight along with learning Systema from his father. But despite the idea of taking up Muai Thai full-time and becoming a MMA fighter being on the table following his High School graduation, Casey shocked everyone by pursuing Professional Wrestling and becoming a full-fledged professional wrestler.

Professional Wrestling Career[]

After graduating High School in 2015, Casey began to pursue a pro-wrestling career by applying to The University of Tokyo. Where he would sneak off of campus to work at the NJPW Dojo. Where he would begin his pro wrestling career as a Young Lion.
