Biography
Daniel Joseph Moloney is an English professional wrestler signed to New Japan Pro-Wrestling (NJPW), where he performs under the ring name Drilla Moloney and is a member of the Unbound Company stable. A two-time IWGP Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Champion alongside Clark Connors, Moloney transitioned to NJPW’s heavyweight division in 2025 and made his G1 Climax debut later that year. Outside NJPW, he has also competed for major British promotions including PROGRESS Wrestling, TNT Extreme Wrestling, and Revolution Pro Wrestling. Moloney debuted in 2013 on the British independent scene before gaining wider attention through PROGRESS Wrestling and appearances for WWE’s NXT UK brand. In 2022, he captured the PROGRESS Tag Team Championship alongside Man Like DeReiss as part of The 0121. His career took a major turn in 2023 after joining Will Ospreay’s United Empire faction before betraying Francesco Akira and TJP alongside Clark Connors to join Bullet Club War Dogs, leading to his transformation into Drilla Moloney. He quickly found success with Connors, winning the IWGP Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Championships and establishing the duo as one of NJPW’s top junior tag teams. After moving up the card in 2025, Moloney scored notable victories over Shingo Takagi and Tomohiro Ishii, later forming the War Dragons tag team with Takagi and competing in the 2025 World Tag League. In 2023, he was ranked No. 222 in the Pro Wrestling Illustrated PWI 500.
