Getting Personal
• Proudly calls Orange County California his home. But spent most of his time, while in California, in Los Angeles County. Still owns residence out in West Hollywood.
• Jayden is vegan, has been vegan for a few years now. Can't cook to save his own life, so he has a personal chef come into his home.
• He comes from an incredibly wealthy family, with his father Micah being the owner and head of a broadcasting company in California (which is global) and his mother Rheta being a model. Up until just about two years ago Jayden was very dependent on his family's money to the point he literally paid for nothing out of pocket.
• Is a recovered coke addict. Went through rehab in 2008 to kick the habit after his father found out about his addictions. He only went to rehab so his father wouldn't 'cut him off' fund wise. But it ended up turning his life completely around. He's been free from his coke addiction for over a year.
• Jayden suffers from Coimetrophobia, an extreme fear of graveyards. He's also borderline Claustrophobic.
• Has been a professional wrestler since he was 17 years of age. But one thing he's always loved is photography. He was a freelance photographer before opening a photography studio in his old residence of Bridgeport, Connecticut called "Affliction Photography". He just barely opened a second branch of Affliction in Pennsylvania since he had been planning on moving for the better part of the last year.
• Affliction Photography in Bridgeport is now operated by his half-brother Casey while Jayden maintains the branch out of Philadelphia. He lives for his photography almost as much as he lives for his wrestling. He has shot some high profile spreads including Raina Hunter's Playboy shoot while she was in Defiant ProWrestling.
• Graduated from the New York Institute of Photography in 2010. Currently goes to West Chester University to continue his photography degree that he started in Spring 2010.
• His friends usually come first. While a lot of people think Jayden's unapproachable because he's loaded and generally lives a high roller life style? He's incredibly chilled out. Loves to just go out, have drinks, relax, and hang with his crew.
• Infamous party boy. Loves a good party and will go far and wide to enjoy one. Seriously, he's traveled to Japan just to party... distance is no boundary for him.
• Has a younger cousin in the West Chester area, named Aaron on his dad's side. Aaron's father Dean is Jayden's Uncle. He never really cared for his Uncle Dean but kept in contact with Aaron here and there where he could.
• What He Likes : Warm weather. Hot Women. Starbucks. Frappachinos (SOY). My BMW. Photography. Fast cars. Online blogs. Socializing. VIDEO GAMES. Guitar Hero! Going out. Spending money. Movies. Music. Hair dye. Running his mouth. Southern California. Wrestling. Working out. Running. Tattoos and piercings (though he lacks in both departments). Punk style. Spending time with friends. Rock music. A little rap & hip hop. Junk Food (some of it, as long as it's vegan friendly). Myspace. Huntington Beach. LA. High standards. Boozin'. Parties for dayyyys.
• What Doesn't Fly With Him : Cold weather. Snow. Girls who act like whores (you know the ones). Groupies. Haters. Hypocrites. Football. Baseball. Jealous people. People who don't know how to just CHILL. Fakes and phonies (there's enough in LA to populate the country). Random peeves.

• Jayd Riley is one of the most popular professional wrestlers in the indy circuit today. His infamy in Southern California has followed him through his ventures in New England and the eastern seaboard.
• He's earned a number of accolades in his career, multiple title reigns as well as other awards such as a match of the year winner in 2008 against DPW/FRW's Sin [Gabriel Hunter] in a Graveyard Grudge Match.
• Wrestled Jase Austin in Jase's final match in Defiant ProWrestling, claiming his first DPW title reign from the departing Austin.
• Has wrestled in Japan.
• Signed a contract with Ring of Honor in November 2009, and is slated to make his debut very soon with the company. His debut is currently being hyped via Newswire broadcasts on Youtube as well as tweets on the official ROH Twitter.
• Jayd Riley debuted at Final Battle in NYC in December, helping Draven Quinn get a win over Jase Austin. Originally it was thought because he aligned with Draven Quinn, however it was apparently just out of spite at Austin due to their history. As of 3/20 it was very apparent that Riley's been established as a face in the company (once again) and is going to be tagging with Gunner James (Cameron Elliott) in the future.
• Since Early April/May, Gunner James & Jayd Riley have been a tag team known as The Scene, and are in the ROH Tag Title hunt despite their now on-going issues with Draven Quinn & Sin.
