WWE Career

In 2021, he was signed to WWE Performance Center. On the September 14, 2021, episode of NXT 2.0, he made his debut under the ring name Brooks Jensen. Then, he was teamed up with a fellow newcomer named Josh Briggs and was pitted against Imperium (Ludwig Kaiser and Marcel Barthel). The two then continued working as a team but failed in the Dusty Rhodes Men Tag Team Tournament and in their pursuits for the NXT Championship.
On June 22, 2023, they made their debut on NXT UK and won a four-way elimination match for the vacant NXT UK Tag Team Championship. This made them the first and only wrestlers of outside Europe to hold the belt. Jensen also became the first wrestler to be born after 2000 to win the title. At Worlds Collide later that year, Pretty Deadly defeated Gallus, Creed Brothers, and Briggs & Jensen to unify the NXT Tag Team and NXT UK Tag Team Championship. Briggs and Jensen are recognized as the last champions in the title’s history.
In 2023, cracks started appearing in the tag team when Brooks Jensen started supporting Kiana James and Briggs sided with Fallon Henley. The fallout between Henley and James also became the reason for the fallout between Briggs and Jensen. However, soon, James left Jensen, causing the latter to reunite with Henley and Briggs.
