2023 has been a career year for Knight after having been saddled with a nearly disastrous gimmick the year prior. He made his WWE main roster debut on the January 22, 2022, WWE Raw episode as part of the Maximum Male Models. His act with Mace and Mansoor was voted “Worst Gimmick” in the 2022 Wrestling Observer Newsletter Awards.
