On the September 26 episode of Raw Nese made his main roster debut as a heel, losing to Cruiserweight Champion T.J. Perkins. On the October 3 episode of Raw, Nese defeated Rich Swann. Nese made his WWE pay-per-view debut on the Hell in a Cell pre-show, teaming with Drew Gulak and Ariya Daivari in a losing effort to Cedric Alexander, Lince Dorado and Sin Cara.[19] In early 2017, Nese would later wrestle on 205 Live and Main Event, trading victories over Gran Metalik, Lince Dorado and Mustafa Ali.
