O\u2019Neil has long been one of the best people in wrestling, going above and beyond the call of duty with WWE as one of their lead speakers when it comes to their charities. O\u2019Neil has also been recognized as a major leader in his community in Florida, notably leading a \u201cLove Walk\u201d in 2020 alongside future WWE Hall of Famer <strong>Batista<\/strong> as part of the Black Lives Matter movement.<br \/>\nThis is only a small part of what makes O\u2019Neil worthy of this award and he will get to receive it in his hometown of Tampa Bay, Fla. over WrestleMania week.<\/p>\n<p>O\u2019Neil signed with WWE in 2009 on a developmental contract, having been with the company since then. As part of the <strong>Prime Time Players<\/strong> with <strong>Darren Young<\/strong>, he won the WWE Tag Team Championships in 2015 and is also recognized as the first-ever WWE 24\/7 Champion. Titus O\u2019Neil has paved out one of the more impressive careers in WWE when you look at all aspects of what he has accomplished outside of the ring.
