Clifford "Cliff" Compton (born November 2, 1979) is an American professional wrestler signed to Global Force Wrestling, better known by his ring name Domino. Best known for his work in World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE), he works for Ring of Honor (ROH) as a free agent, while also working on the independent circuit.
Before being promoted to the main WWE roster, Compton was assigned to WWE's developmental territory Ohio Valley Wrestling (OVW) in Louisville, Kentucky in 2005. While situated at OVW, he wrestled under the name Dice Domino and was placed in tag team competition, alongside Deuce Shade. Together, the pair won the OVW Southern Tag Team Championship on three occasions. It was also during this time that he and Deuce, alongside their manager Cherry, were known as "The Throw-Backs" and later as "The Untouchables".
The team's name was changed to Deuce 'n Domino for their main roster debut in January 2007, as part of the SmackDown! brand. Three months later, Deuce 'n Domino went on to win the WWE Tag Team Championship. The team lost the title in August 2007. The group disbanded in June 2008, after a series of losses. After the split, Compton played an enhancement talent on SmackDown!. Following his release from WWE in August 2008, he resumed wrestling on the independent circuit.
