Development areas (2006-2007)
In 2006, while working as a model, Blank was seen by World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) official John Laurinaitis, who was interested in signing him to a contract.

Despite having no previous wrestling experience, he was offered a contract, which he signed in May 2006.
