Violent By Design (professional wrestling)
professional wrestling stable
Violent By Design, also known as The Design, was a villainous professional wrestling stable in Impact Wrestling. The stable was originally led by Eric Young, and later by Deaner. The group also consisted of Joe Doering and Rhino, and later Kon, Alan Angels, and Sami Callihan under Deaner's leadership. They are former two-time Impact World Tag Team Champions.
Violent By Design was formed on November 14, 2020, at the Turning Point event, where Doering debuted as Young's enforcer. The stable would later be expanded with the additions of Deaner and Rhino. Rhino was kicked out of the stable in September 2021. After Joe Doering's brain cancer returned, he would go on hiatus from professional wrestling in August 2022. After weeks of teasing new members, Angels and Kon would join in November 2022. In December 2022, Deaner would become the leader of The Design, with Callihan joining for a short time.
