Rosser became interested in becoming a professional wrestler as a teenager, wrestling in several backyard wrestling federations.

He researched a number of wrestling schools before deciding on Camp IWF in West Paterson, New Jersey.

1983

Frederick Douglas Rosser III (born November 2, 1983) is an American professional wrestler.

He is currently signed to New Japan Pro-Wrestling (NJPW), where he is a former Strong Openweight Champion.

He is best known for his time with WWE under the ring name Darren Young.

Prior to signing with WWE, Rosser competed in Northeastern and Mid-Atlantic independent promotions including Chaotic Wrestling, East Coast Wrestling Association, Independent Wrestling Federation and the National Wrestling Alliance.

2002

Rosser made his professional debut on September 11, 2002, and spent several years on the independent circuit, including wrestling for the Independent Wrestling Federation and Chaotic Wrestling during his early career.

2003

On May 17, 2003, he won his first major title when he defeated the IWF Heavyweight Champion in Woodland Park, New Jersey and held it for over half a year until losing to Roman on January 17, 2004.

2004

It was at a house show in Chaotic Wrestling that he was first noticed by promoter Jim Kettner and invited to compete for the East Coast Wrestling Association where he made his debut in the summer of 2004.

Shortly after entering the promotion, Rosser began feuding with Prince Nana over the ECWA Mid Atlantic Championship and eventually defeated him for the title in Newark, Delaware on September 18, 2004.

He lost the title to Nick Malakai less than two months later.

2005

During 2005 and 2006, Rosser made several appearances for World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) on its weekly programs Sunday Night Heat and Velocity as well as in dark matches on SmackDown and Raw.

2009

Rosser signed with WWE's developmental territory Florida Championship Wrestling in 2009 and participated in the first season of NXT in 2010.

Later that year, he debuted on the main roster as part of The Nexus.

In May 2009, Rosser signed a WWE developmental contract and was sent to WWE's developmental territory, Florida Championship Wrestling, under the name Darren Young.

In FCW, Young was in a tag team called "The South Beach Party Boys" with Percy Watson.

2010

On February 16, 2010, it was announced that he would compete as part of the first season of WWE NXT, mentored by CM Punk.

On February 23, 2010, Young made his debut on NXT with a character described as a "South Beach Party Boy", losing his debut match to David Otunga.

His storyline had mentor CM Punk showing apathy towards him, claiming he had no idea why he's in NXT and did not want to train Young unless he accepted his Straight-edge lifestyle.

Despite this, Punk and his disciples, Luke Gallows and Serena, helped Young win his rematch against Otunga the following week.

Young was ranked eight in the first Pros' Poll.

After the pros' poll, Young decided to join Straight Edge Society in an attempt to improve, only to change his mind before getting his hair shaved off.

CM Punk decided to forgive him for standing up to him when he defeated Luke Gallows with Young's own hair on the line.

Because of this victory, CM Punk had then been interested in Young's potential, but in turn started feuding with a jealous Luke Gallows.

On May 11 in the second Pros poll, Young was ranked fifth out of the six remaining contestants and narrowly escaped elimination.

The following week, however, Young was eliminated from the competition.

The week following the Season 1 finale, Young, along with the other season one NXT rookies turned heel and interfered in the main event match on Raw between John Cena and Young's former Pro, CM Punk, and attacked both wrestlers, the announce team and the ring announcer Justin Roberts, and dismantled the ring area and surrounding equipment.

On the June 14, 2010, edition of Raw, the rookies attacked general manager Bret Hart, when he refused to give them contracts.

The following week on Raw, Vince McMahon fired Hart and announced that a new general manager had been hired, one that had signed all seven season one NXT rookies to contracts.

The following week, the group was named The Nexus.

On the July 5 episode of Raw, The Nexus tried to attack John Cena as he confronted Wade Barrett during their "truce" with one another.

The segment ended with The Nexus leaving without Young, when other Raw wrestlers arrived to aid Cena, and Young was assaulted by Cena to end the show.

Due to Cena's actions, the new general manager booked Cena in a 7 on 1 handicap match against The Nexus scheduled for the following week.

2012

In 2012, Young formed The Prime Time Players with Titus O'Neil, with whom he is a one-time WWE Tag Team Champion.

Rosser was the first openly gay wrestler to compete in WWE.

Rosser was born in Union Township, New Jersey.
