He is a member of The Vision stable and is one-half of the reigning World Tag Team Champions with stablemate Bron Breakker in their second reign. Prior to joining WWE, he competed on the independent circuit, including several promotions under the World Wrestling Network (WWN) umbrella, such as Full Impact Pro (FIP) and Evolve – along the way winning the WWN Championship, FIP World Heavyweight Championship, and the Evolve Championship.
