Between August 2007 and January 2008, Marasciulo had several tryout matches for WWE, using the ring name Greg Cardona.[1] He was signed to a WWE contract and began wrestling in Florida Championship Wrestling (FCW) under the ring name Greg Jackson. His name was later changed to Trent Barreta, then tweaked to Trent Beretta.

Barreta and Croft signed with SmackDown, making their debut for the brand on February 19 in a losing effort against Cryme Tyme.[12] Barreta and Croft would then feud with The Hart Dynasty, but could never manage a win against them.[1] In April, they began using their Dude Busters name again, which they had seemingly dropped since debuting in ECW.[13] The Dude Busters then turned into fan favorites when they entered into a feud with the Gatecrashers (Curt Hawkins and Vance Archer) in August. The Dude Busters then earned their first tag team victory since joining the SmackDown roster when they defeated the Gatecrashers on the August 26 episode of Superstars.[14]

[edit]
Barreta in 2012

On November 19, 2010, Caylen Croft was released from his contract, effectively ending the Dude Busters and turning Barreta into a singles competitor.[15] After becoming a singles competitor, Barreta would largely be involved in lower-card feuds. During this period, a majority of his matches would be on Superstars, and when he appeared on SmackDown, he would almost always lose, only garnering a single win when appearing on SmackDown during his tenure in WWE.[1][16][17] Barreta would continue to feud with Hawkins, whose partner Archer had also been released together with Croft. Both wrestlers would exchange wins in various matches on Superstars.[18][19][20] Barreta would then feud with Drew McIntyre, even managing to earn an upset victory over McIntyre on the January 14, 2011, episode of SmackDown, his first singles win on the SmackDown brand since the breakup of the Dude Busters.[21]

During this feud, Barreta would score rare singles wins over both Hawkins and Reks on consecutive episodes of NXT in January 2012.[26][27] The feud ended when Hawkins and Reks defeated Barreta and Tatsu on the January 18 episode of NXT.[28] Barreta disappeared from television after February 2012 due to a torn triceps,[29][30] instead being confined to the "Where's Trent?" segments within the Z! True Long Island Story YouTube show.[31] A video package on the September 12 episode of NXT acknowledged Barreta's six-month absence and the "Where's Trent" segments, scheduling his return on the September 19 episode of NXT, where he defeated Johnny Curtis.[32] After trading wins with Kassius Ohno,[33][34] Barreta was injured by Leo Kruger before the third match in the series.[35] On January 11, 2013, Marasciulo was released from his WWE contract;[36] with his last televised match for WWE being a disqualification win over Kruger due to Ohno's interference on the January 16, 2013, episode of NXT, which was taped before his release.[37]
