Heath Wallace Miller (born July 15, 1983) is an American professional wrestler and actor. He is currently signed to WWE where he performs on the SmackDown brand under the ring name Heath Slater.
Miller began wrestling for WWE in 2006 and trained on its developmental territories Deep South Wrestling (DSW) and Florida Championship Wrestling (FCW) before appearing on the first season of NXT in 2010. He debuted on the main roster that same year as part of The Nexus and The Corre, becoming a three-time WWE Tag Team Championship with Justin Gabriel. After The Corre disbanded, Miller mainly wrestled as a jobber from 2011 to 2016, forming several teams and losing numerous feuds. He then entered a storyline which included him forming a partnership with Rhyno, where they later became the inaugural SmackDown Tag Team Champions. Miller is the first (and currently only) person to hold both the Raw and SmackDown Tag Team Championships.
Miller was born in Pineville, West Virginia. He is an only child and was raised by his mother, stepfather, and grandparents.
Miller was initially trained at WWA4 Wrestling School and began to wrestle in WWA4 events, and also in numerous Georgia-based wrestling federations.
In December 2006, Miller signed a developmental contract with World Wrestling Entertainment, and was assigned to Deep South Wrestling (DSW), a WWE developmental territory.
When the WWE ended its relationship with DSW in the spring of 2007, Miller was one of over twenty developmental wrestlers to be sent for further training at the new Florida Championship Wrestling (FCW) territory. At a June 2007 FCW show, Miller appeared as the manager of fellow developmental talent Shawn McGrath under the name Heath Wallace Miller Esq., but he reverted to using his real name and resumed his singles career while continuing to manage McGrath.
