Brandon Silvestry (born September 6, 1979) is an American professional wrestler. He is currently signed to Impact Wrestling, where he performs under the name Low-Ki. He was previously known as Kaval in World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE). He is a one-time PWG World Champion, the inaugural ROH Champion and a three-time NWA World Tag Team Champion, and has won a number of tournaments and other championships on the independent circuit, and was the winner of the second season of NXT in 2010. Silvestry has also worked extensively in Japan, most notably for New Japan Pro Wrestling (NJPW), where he was a three-time IWGP Junior Heavyweight Champion, and Pro Wrestling Zero-One, where he was a one-time Zero-One International Junior Heavyweight and NWA International Lightweight Tag Team Champion.
Silvestry is of Puerto Rican and Italian descent.
Silvestry began wrestling in late 1998 under the ring name Low Ki, which he derived from the lyrics of the song "No Diggity". He began wrestling for Jersey All Pro Wrestling (JAPW) in 1998, challenging Homicide and Kane D for the JAPW Tag Team Championship. The following year he challenged for the JAPW Light Heavyweight Championship twice, unsuccessfully, but defeated Crazy Ivan and Judas Young to win the second Best of the Light Heavyweights tournament.
