Valenzuela signed with WWE in 2015 and was featured on the NXT brand until 2018, when he was called up to the main roster the night after WrestleMania 34. While he was initially used on the show, the company started using him sporadically and later released him in a wave of budget cuts shortly after the COVID-19 pandemic began in 2020.
After his release, he had a brief run in IMPACT Wrestling in 202; he debuted at the Slammiversary pay-per-view in 2021 and last wrestled for the company in August that same year. Otherwise, he has been semi-active on the independent scene; in recent months, he has competed for DEFY Wrestling. He defeated Ethan HD at DEFY's Death from Above event on July 29.
Westin Blake, formerly known as Wesley Blake, also debuted at the tapings. More information is available here.
