Professional wrestling career

Training and early career (1999–2006)

Curtis began training under Killer Kowalski, and debuted in 1999. He wrestled for various independent promotions in the New England area over the next few years. He competed in Power League Wrestling (PLW) from 2000 until 2003, during which time he won the PLW New England Championship.[2] He held the championship for one day short of a year, from May 19, 2002 until May 18, 2003.[2][6] He also competed in the Premier Wrestling Federation during this time, and on October 28, 2002, he teamed with Kenn Phoenix to win the PWF Northeast Tag Team Championship from Fuzion (Mike Paiva and Blade).[7] They held the championship until November 15, when they were defeated by Paiva and Kid Mikaze.[7] Now known as 'The Talent Exchange', Curtis and Phoenix won a three-way Tables, Ladders, and Chairs match to win the championship again on February 15, 2003.[7] They held the championship until April 4, when Phoenix and Dean Ripley, The Talent Exchange's manager who had been forced to participate in the match instead of an absent Curtis, lost the championship to the Storm Brothers.[7] He also wrestled for NWA: TNA, Chaotic Wrestling, and NWA Wildside.[8]

World Wrestling Entertainment / WWE (2006–present)

Deep South Wrestling (2006–2007)

In 2006, Curtis signed a developmental contract with World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) and was subsequently assigned to the Deep South Wrestling (DSW) developmental territory. Curtis made his debut for the territory on November 9, where he lost to David Heath.[1] After losing consistently over the next several weeks, Curtis scored his first victory in in DSW as he and Robert Anthony defeated The Headliners (Shawn Shulz and Chris Thomas) on February 15, 2007.[1] Curtis continued to team with Anthony and after winning a few more matches, the team faced the DSW Tag Team Champions Team Elite (Mike Knox and Derick Neikirk) in a match for the championship on March 15, but they were unable to win the title.[1] Curtis then became a singles competitor once again and after losing two matches, he won his final match in DSW by defeating Frankie Coverdale on April 12.[1]

Florida Championship Wrestling (2007–2011)

After WWE severed ties with DSW, Curtis and all the other talent in DSW were transferred over to the newly established Florida Championship Wrestling (FCW) in June. On June 26, Curtis made his FCW debut as he defeated former tag team partner Robert Anthony.[1] After mixed success as a singles and tag team wrestler, Curtis defeated Chris Gray on December 18 to become the number one contender for the Southern Heavyweight Championship.[1] On January 8, 2008, he wrestled Ted DiBiase, Jr. for the championship, but lost the match.[1] On September 18, Curtis made an appearance at the SmackDown/ECW tapings, where he defeated Armando Estrada in a dark match.[1]

On December 11, 2008, Curtis teamed with Tyler Reks to defeat The New Hart Foundation (DH Smith and TJ Wilson) for the FCW Florida Tag Team Championship.[9] The team of Curtis and Reks proved to be successful, and they retained the championship on several occasions.[1] After beginning a feud with Caylen Croft and Trent Beretta, Curtis and Reks retained the title against them on a few different occasions before finally losing the title to Croft and Beretta on April 30, 2009 after Curtis didn't appear for the title defense, leaving Reks to wrestle alone.[9]

After Reks was called up to WWE's main roster, Curtis renamed himself Jonathan Curtis and became a villain. The two then faced off for Reks' Florida Heavyweight Championship on June 25, but Curtis was unable to win the title.[1] On July 2, Curtis wrestled in a triple threat match for the FCW Florida Championship also involving Alex Riley, but was again unsuccessful as Reks retained the title.[10] Soon afterwards, Curtis reverted his ring name to Johnny Curtis.[11]

Beginning in 2010, Curtis began competing at house shows for the Raw brand, with his first match being a loss to Evan Bourne on January 8.[10][unreliable source] After losing several matches to both Bourne and Paul Burchill at house shows, Curtis wrestled his first dark match, which he lost to Kung Fu Naki on the January 19 episode of ECW.[10]

During the finale of season three of NXT, it was announced that Curtis would be part of the fourth season, with R-Truth as his mentor.[5][14] He debuted on the season premiere on December 7, defeating fellow rookie Jacob Novak in a singles match.[15] The following week, Curtis won the obstacle course challenge by having the fastest time, earning points towards immunity from elimination.[16] Curtis suffered his first loss on the December 21 episode of NXT, when he lost a rematch to Novak.[17] After winning both the Power of the Punch challenge and a talent contest on December 28, Curtis had the most immunity points on the January 4, 2011 episode of NXT with five, making him immune from elimination that week.[18][19] During the season finale on March 1, Curtis was declared the winner of NXT, defeating Brodus Clay in the final.[20]
