During his time there, he won the MCW Tag Team Championship with Lio Rush. After competing in several other independent promotions, Clark participated in the WWE’s reality show Tough Enough, a series focused on finding new wrestlers for WWE.

Clark did not win the contest, but he was signed to a developmental contract and was assigned to WWE’s farm territory, NXT. In 2017, Clark debuted his new gimmick, a Prince-inspired character called Velveteen Dream. After several well-received matches, Dream became very popular in NXT and defeated Johnny Gargano to win the NXT North American Championship.
