 Xavier Woods signed to WWE in 2010 and worked in FCW and NXT until the November 18, 2013 episode of "Raw", when he made his main roster debut.On the July 21, 2014 episode of "Raw", after Big E and Kingston, who had started pairing up in tag team matches earlier the same month, suffered another loss in what had been ongoing losing streaks for both, Woods came down to address the two and he declared that they could not "get ahead by kissing babies and shaking hands", and that it would be "their time to shine".The duo then joined Woods and on the following day on "Main Event", Woods managed Big E and Kingston to a decisive victory over Slater-Gator (Heath Slater and Titus O'Neil).
