Basham and Holle eventually made their way to Ohio Valley Wrestling, WWE's then-top developmental territory, and began a small rivalry that ended when both were called up to the main roster. Basham wrestled under his real name while Hollie wrestled as "Damaja".

—William James (1842–1910)
“The whole history of civilisation is strewn with creeds and institutions which were invaluable at first, and deadly afterwards.”
