Damon Kemp


Bobby Steveson (born March 20, 1999) is an American professional wrestler currently signed to WWE, where he performs on the NXT brand under the ring name Damon Kemp and is a member of the No Quarter Catch Crew stable. He is a former folkstyle wrestler who competed at the University of Minnesota. Steveson is the older brother of Olympic gold medalist Gable Steveson.

Early life and amateur wrestling career

Bobby Steveson was born and raised in Apple Valley, Minnesota to Robert and Laticia Steveson, where he and his younger brother Gable attended Apple Valley High School. During his high school years, Steveson distinguished himself in wrestling, securing three state championship titles and achieving national recognition by winning junior folkstyle national championships in 2013 and 2014.

Pursuing higher education at the University of Minnesota, Steveson continued his wrestling career. His collegiate achievements include qualifying for the NCAA championships in 2017 and earning letterwinner status in both 2017 and 2018. Steveson also participated in open tournaments, winning at the Cobber Open and the Buena Vista Open in 2015, and finishing as a runner-up at the UNI Open the same year.

Professional wrestling career

Steveson signed with WWE in August 2021 as part of a new class of recruits for the WWE Performance Center. He worked as Damon Kemp on the 205 Live, NXT 2.0 and NXT UK programs. On May 10, 2022, Kemp was introduced by Roderick Strong as the newest member of Diamond Mine. At Worlds Collide, Kemp was involved in a sequence where his interference led to the Creed Brothers not winning the NXT Tag Team Championship during a fatal four-way elimination tag team title unification match. Kemp used a steel chair against Julius Creed, which led to Pretty Deadly securing the victory, effectively departing Diamond Mine and turning heel. At NXT Halloween Havoc, Kemp lost to Julius Creed in the Ambulance match under the stipulation that if Julius loses, Brutus would have to leave NXT. On the August 8 episode of NXT, he assisted both Drew Gulak and Charlie Dempsey during their tag team match, officially joining No Quarter Catch Crew (NQCC). On the September 12 episode of NXT, Myles Borne joined the NQCC by turning on both Josh Briggs and Brooks Jensen during their six-man tag team match.

On the February 27, 2024 edition of NXT, Dempsey defeated The Meta-Four's Noam Dar 2–1 in a British Rounds Rules match to become the new NXT Heritage Cup Champion. At NXT: Roadblock, NQCC announced that the NXT Heritage Cup will be defended by the whole stable under the "Catch Clause". Under the Catch Clause, NQCC as a whole referred to themselves as the NXT Heritage Cup Champions but WWE only recognize Dempsey as the official champion. On the April 16 episode of NXT, The D'Angelo Family leader Tony D'Angelo revealed that his Family were hired by NQCC to (kayfabe) eliminate Gulak. In reality, Gulak was written off following allegations from Ronda Rousey that Gulak grabbed her pants' drawstrings backstage in 2022. WWE subsequently released Gulak on May 3. D'Angelo demanded payment for the job but NQCC refused, causing a brawl between the two factions and resulting in a six-man tag team match between the two factions at Week 1 of Spring Breakin', which was won by The D'Angelo Family (D'Angelo, Channing "Stacks" Lorenzo and Luca Crusifino). On the May 7 episode of NXT, Dempsey and Borne faced Tyson DuPont and Tyrek Igwe in a tag team match. Before the match started, the match referee was declared "unavailable" and Stacks was announced as the special guest referee, costing Dempsey and Borne the match through a fast count. After the match, an irate Dempsey gave D'Angelo a title shot at the NXT Heritage Cup as payment due to the D'Angelo Family and invoked the Catch Clause, which was nullified when D'Angelo and his Family kidnapped Kemp and Borne later that night. One week later, D'Angelo defeated Dempsey to win the Cup.
