Other work
Music
King is the lead vocalist of the hardcore punk band God's Hate.[32] Having long been involved in the Los Angeles hardcore scene, King founded the band alongside guitarist, drummer and backing vocalist Colin Young of Twitching Tongues, at the same time as King began wrestling.[33] The pair then recruited fellow Twitching Tongues members Cayle Sain (drums) and Leopold Orozco (bass) as well as Anthonie Gonzalez of Constrict (guitar). This lineup recorded their debut EP Divine Injustice, which was released in 2014 through Closed Casket Activities. The following year, Orozco and Gonzalez swapped roles and the band released their second EP Father Inferior.[34] The band's debut album Mass Murder was then released in 2016. This was followed by a period of inactivity as King focused on his wrestling career.[35] During this time, various lineup changes took place within the band as they recorded tracks for a subsequent album.[34] In 2021, the band's hiatus ended, now featuring King, Colin Young and Orozco alongside Martin Stewart of Terror on guitar, Alec Faber of Twitching Tongues on bass and Taylor Young of Nails and Twitching Tongues on guitar.[36] That same year, they released their second album God's Hate.[35]

King had a role in the 2020 short film Heel, written by and starring fellow wrestler Ryan Nemeth.[37] In 2021, he played a crazed professional wrestler called Mike "The Rock" Davis in an episode of the Netflix sketch comedy series I Think You Should Leave with Tim Robinson.[37]
