- Is the eldest child of Gena and Hank Baileey. With four younger siblings, it taught Jude a lot about being responsible, being an example for his younger siblings, and also instilled a very strong protective streak in him for his own.
- Moved to the United States when he was seventeen with his family.
- Was often harassed when he was younger with the song 'Hey Jude' by The Beatles. Go figure. It doesn't phase him, at all, though. And he'll often belt out the 'na na na na na na, na na na na, hey jude' just to take the piss if someone starts in on him with that. Like he's never heard it before!
- He graduated from West Chester East High School the year he moved to Pennsylvania. After he graduated, however, he ended up moving from West Chester, to Detroit, Michigan.
- One aspiration that Jude always had was to become a professional wrestler. From the time he was young watching it with his friends and his dad, he wanted to do that. His move to Detroit was to start training and go to wrestling school rather than college. While it was a lofty aspiration, he really felt that he could do it, therefore put all of his time, his energy, and his dedication into the dream of eventually becoming a professional wrestler.
- While in Michigan, at the age of 19, he started training at Truth Martini's HOUSE OF TRUTH wrestling school. That's where his major training began. Because of this, he was able to get his name into the wrestling world, train with people who had done it, and really get a good feel for the industry. His training didn't stop there as he also had training sessions at the Ring of Honor training school, which was where he originally wanted to get his professional start.
- When he was 20 turning 21, Jude had a try out for WWE. He went to the try out as a result of a friend's persuasion, not really expecting a lot out of it due to how big of a company WWE is. He didn't go to the try out with a pessimistic attitude, but he didn't want to get ahead of himself. The single try out, turned to him trying out again, and having a couple actual matches (dark matches) for WWE. Jude was 21 years of age, mid-year, when he signed a contract with World Wrestling Entertainment.
- From 21 until 25, Jude worked with WWE. He wrestled under the alias Damien. While working with WWE, he was sort of thrust into a big responsibility and big roles from the very start, but he never complained due to how much he really wanted to be a wrestler. It was just satisfying for him.
- Traveling almost 300 days a year with WWE, Jude rarely seen his family. He rarely had the opportunity to visit Pennsylvania unless WWE was in the area. His 'permanent residence' was down in Tampa, Florida so on his off days he usually stayed there. It really strained his family life, but for the most party they accepted it.
- Jude wrestled through numerous injuries, never really having the time to sit home and heal up properly. Since they weren't legit 'side lining' injuries, he battled through them. This ultimately would be the reason he ended up leaving WWE. He suffered a torn Achilles tendon around the time that his contract was needing renewing with the company. He had signed a four year contract with WWE and it was just getting to the point he was either needing to renew the contract or leave. Jude's decision, while a difficult one, lead him to parting ways with WWE to heal up properly and try to live a somewhat slower lifestyle due to how burnt out he was getting working so much for the company.
- After the decision to leave WWE, Jude moved back to Pennsylvania. After moving back to Pennsylvania, he returned to Australia for a 2 month period as a sort of 'recuperating' vacation and to visit family he hadn't seen since moving to the states as a teenager for more than a few hours when WWE went to Sydney and Melbourne. It was a sort of revitalizing journey for him. His return to Pennsylvania lead him to taking bartending classes, which is something Jude had been interested in for a while, so he went forth with doing that since he didn't have such a hellacious schedule holding him back.
- Back from injury, a lot sooner than anyone anticipated, Jude had some unfinished priorities to make up in his contract with WWE. He appeared at Wrestlemania 26 in a high profile match up and since Mania the WWE has been trying to get Jude to resign considering how big of a draw "Damien" is in the WWE. Jude made the decision to resign with the company to a short term contract, limited schedule, considering he almost didn't go back. He's currently on the RAW brand and working a heel program.
- His family life has since become a better place as well, in recent months, as he's had the opportunity to spend time with his parents as well as his siblings more. Especially his little brother Shannon, whom he's incredibly close to.
- He's an open book, relatively, so feel free to get to know him. Or, you know, google him.
