After being trained by Brian Fury,[2] on April 12, 2014, Brigham made his professional wrestling debut for independent promotion Chaotic Wrestling, losing to Mikey Webb.[3] Over the next few years, he worked for various promotions including Beyond Wrestling, where he won the Pride of New England Tournament for Tomorrow.[2][3] On March 17, 2016, Brigham won the Chaotic Wrestling New England Championship.[3] On March 16, 2018, Casanova won the Chaotic Wrestling Tag Team Championship alongside Tripilicious.

WWE (2021–present)

NXT debut and HIM era (2021–2023)

On February 12, 2021, Brigham signed a contract with

NXT Breakout Tournament, defeating Josh Briggs,[9] Duke Hudson,[10] and Odyssey Jones to win the tournament.[11] On the September 14 episode of NXT, Hayes and a debuting Trick Williams maliciously attacked Hudson before his match, establishing themselves as a heel duo and forming the Trick Melo Gang.[12]

On the October 12 episode of NXT, Hayes successfully cashed in his Breakout Tournament contract on

five-way ladder match at NXT Stand & Deliver on April 2,[21] where Grimes won the championship, ending his reign at 172 days.[22] At Spring Breakin' on May 3, he failed to regain the title from Grimes in a triple threat match involving Solo Sikoa.[23]

At

Iron Survivor Challenge at NXT Deadline on December 10, which was won by Waller.[33]

Following this, Hayes would begin a feud with

NXT No Mercy on September 30, Hayes lost the NXT Championship to Ilja Dragunov, ending his reign at 182 days. Earlier that night, Williams defeated "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio to become the new NXT North American Champion, but lost the title back to Mysterio on NXT three days later.[46][47]

Feud with Trick Williams (2023–present)

On the October 17 episode of NXT, Williams was slotted into the triple threat match between Hayes,

Lexis King. This led to a match made between Hayes and King at NXT Deadline, which Hayes won. After the match, King said that he did not attack Williams back in October and thanked Hayes for the premium live event spotlight. Later that night, Williams won the Iron Survivor Challenge.[50][51][52] On the December 12 episode of NXT, Hayes accused Dragunov of attacking Williams in October and himself earlier that night, which Dragunov denied.[53] In his SmackDown debut match on December 15, Hayes, who was chosen by Senior Vice President of Talent Development Creative Shawn Michaels to represent NXT in SmackDown's WWE United States Championship #1 Contender Tournament, defeated former rival Grayson Waller in the first round of the tournament but lost to Kevin Owens in the semifinals the following week.[54][55][56]

On the January 17, 2024 episode of NXT, Hayes and Williams defeated Edris Enofé and Malik Blade in the first round of the

steel cage match despite assistance from his security team.[70]
