The following year, he signed a development contract with WWE in 2012[9] and was assigned to the farm territory Florida Championship Wrestling and later to NXT. In NXT, he formed a tag team called the Vaudevillains with Simon Gotch, winning the NXT Tag Team Championship.[10] They were called to the main roster in 2016, but the team ended in 2017 when Gotch was released. English was then paired with Rusev.[11] In 2019, he became a color commentator on 205 Live and NXT UK.[12] After being released from WWE in 2020, Rehwoldt began wrestling for Impact Wrestling and on the independent circuit under both his real name and the ring name Matt Morris.[8]
