Blake previously worked with WWE; he signed with the company in 2013 and teamed up with Buddy Murphy in the early portion of his time there. They won the NXT Tag Team Championship and later parted ways. Blake later teamed up with Steve Cutler (Steve Maclin) and Jaxson Ryker to form The Forgotten Sons. They were featured on NXT until the trio was called up to WWE SmackDown in April 2020.
They were subsequently pulled from TV after Ryker posted some controversial tweets. Blake and Cutler briefly returned to SmackDown as The Knights of the Lone Wolf alongside King Corbin in December, but Cutler was released in February 2021 before the company cut Blake in April.
Since he left WWE, Blake has been somewhat active on the independent scene for various promotions, including Control Your Narrative and The Wrestling Revolver. He reunited with Maclin and won the tag titles in The Wrestling Revolver in April 2022. The duo dropped the gold to The OGK in July.
