Daniel Healy "Dan" Solwold Jr. (born April 15, 1978), better known by the ring name Austin Aries, is an American professional wrestler and color commentator currently signed by the professional wrestling promotion WWE performing on the Raw brand in the cruiserweight division.
Aries is perhaps best known for his appearances with Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA, now Impact Wrestling), where he was a one-time TNA World Heavyweight Champion, a six-time X Division Champion (with his first reign being the longest at 301 days, as well as creating the championship's "Option C") and a one-time TNA World Tag Team Championship (with Bobby Roode). Aries is also known for his time in Ring of Honor (ROH), where he became the first of only three wrestlers (along with Jay Briscoe and Adam Cole) to have held the ROH World Championship more than once.
Solwold began training under Eddie Sharkey and Terry Fox in 2000 and debuted on November 11, 2000, facing "Sheriff" Johnny Emerald. He wrestled in the midwest for several years before his east coast wrestling career was jumpstarted after he progressed to the finals of the 2004 ECWA Super 8 Tournament, where he was defeated by Christopher Daniels.
