In 2019, he signed a development contract with WWE, but was released the next year as part of a series of budget cuts stemming from the COVID-19 pandemic, joining AEW later that year.

WWE (2019–2020)

In February 2019, Comoroto signed a contract with WWE, where he was assigned to its developmental brand, NXT.[4][11] In March 2019, he began wrestling on NXT live events throughout Florida.[12][13] In May 2019, he participated in the third annual WWE Performance Center combine, where he was the top ranked male in the velocity bench press contest.[14] In July 2019, he was given the ring name "Nick Ogarelli". Comoroto made his final appearance with NXT in March 2020.[13] In April 2020, he was released by WWE as part of a series of budget cuts connected with the COVID-19 pandemic.[11]

[edit]

In October 2020, Comoroto made his first appearance with the Jacksonville, Florida-based promotion All Elite Wrestling, losing to Darby Allin on episode #56 of the web television show AEW Dark.[15] He made multiple further appearances on AEW Dark throughout late 2020 and early 2021. In January 2021, Comoroto appeared on episode #69 of the TNT television show AEW Dynamite, losing to Jon Moxley via referee's decision.[16] Comoroto subsequently formed an alliance with Dustin Rhodes and Q. T. Marshall, thus joining Nightmare Family.[17] On the March 31, 2021 episode of AEW Dynamite, Comoroto and several other students joined with Q. T. Marshall in attacking members of Nightmare Family,[18] with Comoroto subsequently becoming part of Marshall's new stable, "The Factory" and turning heel in the process.[19] In March 2023, Marshall stated that The Factory had disbanded.[20]
