Jeffrey Thomas Kearns (born October 16, 1981), better known by the ring name Jeff X, is an American professional wrestler. He is currently signed to the Omega Wrestling Alliance, where he performs on the Kingdom brand as the current OWA World Champion.
Before joining the OWA roster, Jeff trained in and wrestled for the Carolina Wrestling Federation Mid-Atlantic (CWF Mid-Atlantic), where he held the CWF Mid-Atlantic Television Championship twice before signing a lucrative deal with Worldwide Entertainment Wrestling (WEW) in 2003.
Jeff would join forces with Steven Hammond to form the tag team The Rock Solid Duo shortly after his WEW debut. They are widely regarded as the greatest tag team in WEW history. An injury suffered in late 2003 derailed the teams meteoric rise, and when Jeff returned in early 2004 it would be to singles competition. Jeff competed in many PPV and main event matches for WEW over the course of the next two years, competing for both the Television and Tag Team championships. He was widely viewed as the next big star of the company before being arrested for Attempted Murder in late 2005. Jeff was sentenced to ten years in prison and subsequently was released from his WEW contract.
Upon his release from prison in 2016, Jeff officially announced his retirement from professional wrestling. He returned to his hometown in Askin, North Carolina, where he started his own general construction business. It wasn't until he was approached by Bob Taylor and Vernon Tressler of the OWA in early 2018, that Jeff had any conversations with any wrestling promotion. Jeff would eventually wind up signing a contract with OWA and made his debut on Kingdom in June 2018.
