Steven "Steve" Paul Lewington (born February 25, 1983 in Wokingham, Berkshire, England), is an English professional wrestler. He is currently contracted to World Wrestling Entertainment working on the ECW brand under the name DJ Gabriel.

Career

All Star Promotions and Ohio Valley Wrestling (2003–2005)

After graduating from Senior School Sixth Form, Lewington attended Farnborough College of Technology where he earned a Higher National Diploma in Aeronautical Engineering.

However after gaining an interest in professional wrestling, Lewington applied and was accepted to attend an Ohio Valley Wrestling Tryout in America between February 23 and 28, 2003. Lewington's official training began 8 months later in the beginners' class at the Old Davis arena.

Lewington would return to England in late 2004 where he would work with All Star Wrestling. Throughout early 2005, Lewington would train and appear with ASW as well as becoming the subject of an episode of UKTV People's Secret Life of the Gym.

World Wrestling Entertainment (2005–present)

While WWE was touring England in 2005, Lewington would make three appearances on its main programming, once as a jobber on Carlito's Cabana, once as a jobber to Kurt Angle after Angle disrespected England (the show was in UK) and once as part of the WWE security squad that helped keep the warring Raw and SmackDown! wrestlers apart. Other British wrestlers including Robbie Brookside and Thunder were a part of the security team.

After his appearances in WWE programming in 2005, Lewington stayed in the United Kingdom to compete for the ASW promotion, under the ring name Steve Sonic. On January 17, 2006 in Croydon, Steve Sonic faced Drew McDonald in a ladder match for the ASW British Heavyweight Championship, a match he would win. Sonic would remain champion for several months before relinquishing the title to return to WWE's developmental promotion in July 2006.

Developmental territories

During April 2007, WWE would once again tour England allowing Lewington to make another appearance on Raw, this time as a jobber for Umaga. His performance in this match would earn Lewington a developmental deal. After receiving his contract, Lewington was sent to Ohio Valley Wrestling (OVW) and formed a tag team called Terminal Velocity with Chet the Jett. After Florida Championship Wrestling (FCW) opened, however, Terminal Velocity was moved down to the new territory. After a brief run in FCW, Terminal Velocity was called back up to OVW and won the OVW Southern Tag Team Championship for the first time, giving Lewington the very first tag team championship of his career. On September 26, 2007, Lewington and Chet lost their belts to The James Boys (KC James and Kassidy James). After their title loss, both Lewington's and his partner Chet the Jett's profiles were removed from the official OVW website and they were both moved back down to FCW. After their return to FCW, however, Terminal Velocity was split up when Chet renamed himself Mariouz Jablonski and started a gimmick based on his Polish ancestry.

Lewington later began teaming with Heath Miller and both advanced to the finals of a tournament to crown the inaugural FCW Florida Tag Team Champions, but they were defeated by The Puerto Rican Nightmares (Eddie Colón and Eric Perez). Lewington and Miller defeated Brandon Groom and Greg Jackson and The Thoroughbreds (Johnny Curtis and Kevin Kiley)^] on the road to the finals. On March 4, 2008 he changed his name to Jack Gabriel.

ECW brand

On the November 18, 2008 edition of ECW on SciFi, Lewington made his debut as a face under the ring name DJ Gabriel, with a dancing gimmick, and was managed by Alicia Fox. He defeated local wrestler Sal Rinauro in his debut match for the brand. During the next weeks, he defeated jobbers. On the last ECW episode of the 2008, DJ Gabriel defeated Paul Burchill. On the Tuesday, January 13th, edition of ECW, DJ Gabriel and Alicia Fox defeated Paul Burchill and Katie Lea Burchill, in a Mixed Tag Team Match.
