The performer had been in the WWE system in 2014 and wrestled as Elias Samson before losing the last name. He was brought up to the main roster in April 2017 and was a featured mid-card act as both a babyface and heel including a short run in 2021 as “Ezekiel”.

He was among the WWE releases on September 21, 2023, with his 90-day no-compete clause recently expiring.
