El Phantasmo started his career in Canada before growing in notoriety in the UK. Phantasmo engaged in a friendly rivalry with Will Ospreay in Britain, which led many to assume that he would eventually make his Japanese debut as part of CHAOS. However, it was Bullet Club that recruited the ‘Headbanga’, and Phantasmo made his debut at Dontaku 2019, instantly making a statement by laying out Ospreay with the CRII. 

Phantasmo went on to win the Super J-Cup on his first attempt in 2019, a feat he would repeat in 2020. Combining this singles success with three IWGP Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Championship reigns, ELP proved to be as talented as he is obnoxious, a status he carried into 2022. Transitioning to heavyweight and taking part in G1 Climax 32, Phantasmo then moved to challenge Tama Tonga for the NEVER Openweight Championship at New Beginning in Osaka on February 11 2023.

When BULLET CLUB saw a change in leadership, Phantasmo couldn’t accept the direction of David Finlay, finding himself kicked out of BULLET CLUB as a result. With a new attitude and a thirst for revenge, Phantasmo appeared to attack Finlay at Dontaku 2023, and vowed to take down BULLET CLUB one member at a time. After his last match in the G1 tournament, Phantasmo joined the Guerillas of Destiny as G.o.D also seeks to get revenge on BULLET CLUB. In October 2023 at Ryogoku, Phantasmo teamed up with Hikuleo and beat Alex Coughlin & Gabe Kidd to capture the STRONG Openweight Tag Team Championships. Phantasmo and Hikuleo came close to win the World Tag League 2023. Although Phantasmo and Hikuleo lost to Bishamon in the final, Bishamon declared a challenge to Strong tag golds, leading to the dual tag title match at Wrestle Kingdom 18.
