Osborne was trained at the Hart Dungeon in Canada by Bret Hart and wrestled for Stampede Wrestling from 1995 until 2002 under the name Tyler Black. Through his time at the Dungeon and in SW, he struck a close friendship with TJ Wilson and Natalya Neidhart. He left the company in 2002 after signing a deal with Ring Of Honor. Later that year, he signed a deal with NWA Total Non-Stop Action Wrestling and was given the new name Christian Daniels. He would depart ROH in 2004 after signing a new deal with TNA which prohibited him working for them. He later returned in 2005 and remained in both ROH and TNA until 2007.
He decided to head back to his native UK where he has wrestled for the Frontier Wrestling Alliance, 1Pro Wrestling, XWA Wrestling Real Quality Wrestling and IPW:UK which is where he found his fame. Considered a star of the independent scene, Osborne signed a WWE development deal in 2011 and worked for the development systems Florida Championship Wrestling and NXT Wrestling from 2012 until 2015 when he was called up to the main roster.
Just three months into his main roster career, Osborne suffered a serious concussion and neck injury during a match. Two months later, he announced his retirement from in-ring competition and transitioned to a new role as a producer and writer for the company.
