Debut as a referee
Rafał made his debut as a referee in August 2022, as the sole official at Underground 7.
He joined Referees Matek and Sewi and began to make regular appearances at PTW shows since then, while still training to become a full-time wrestler.
Asian Scandal and becoming S.Rafał
In late 2024 he was nominated for PTW Awards, in the "Referee of the Year" category.
During the popular vote, he was outvoted by Matek and Sewi by over 100 votes each, when he unexpectedly gained a couple hundred votes.
Upon closer examination, it appeared that all of his votes were in fact purchased from a bot website; all of them were coming from Vietnam.
This was dubbed the "Asian Scandal", with Rafał being the main suspect.
The real-life controversy was turned into a storyline, where the main prosecutors in Rafał's trial were Sewi The Referee and Puncher, who named Rafał "Srafał" ("Rafał" with the "sra-" prefix - meaning "Shit-fał").
Even though it was later revealed that it was a fan - Szymon "Modzel" Modzelewski - who was behind the entire situation, Rafał was still suspended from his Referee duties.
In addition, he also got involved into a squash match against Puncher at Underground 12 as a last-chance opportunity to save himself from the suspension.
He made his return as a cocky heel persona still caled S.Rafał at Underground 20 where he was once again quickly defeated, this time by King Kaiden.
At Gold Rush S.Rafał joined the Gold Rush Battle Royal for the PTW Championship, but was quickly eliminated by Santino Marella.
Becoming Alex Brave
At Underground 21 he officialy declared his name change to "Alex Brave", while still maintaining his cocky over-intellectual heel persona.
Later in 2024, Alex formed an alliance with another heel, Vincent Caravaggio, to feud against Max Speed and Miyagi Shida. He also started his own recurring segment, calling it the "Alex Brave Show".
