In early October 2017, it was revealed Finnegan entered a relationship with American freelance wrestler Mia Marie Vega.

They ultimately decided to separate in mid-March 2018, both sides stating that they remain close friends.

In October of 2020, he entered a relationship with Alyssa Jane O'Bryant, better known as OWA competitor Alyssa Grace. The two are currently together and Finnegan has described the relationship in an interview as "something [he] didn't see coming, [their] conversations were just praises to each other and then it just kind of happened. [He] can't explain it, but [he's] thankful for her."

In August 2017, Finnegan relocated to Sacramento, California where he would start training at Larry Blackwell's Catch Sports Pro-Wrestling Academy where he is now a regular trainer. He would also start training at Don Faulkner's OLYMPUS-FS Fighter Factory in early 2018.

Wakefield is an avid fan of video games, citing Metal Gear Solid, Silent Hill and Resident Evil among his favorite franchises.

Wakefield commented on his choice of Oasis's "Morning Glory" as his theme song in an interview with "Another Music Vlog, Yeah?" stating "in [his] earliest memories, [he can] remember hearing that song. It was a song that made [him] remember where [he] came from and how far [he] has come since then. It felt only natural to make it the song that plays when [he] is walking down the ramp, living the dream."

Outside of wrestling, Wakefield is studying Videography and Graphic Design, working with the Omega Creations division of OWA following Novacaine Designs contract expiration.
