He began to train with A.R. Fox and debuted in 2016.[4] He worked for independent promotions in the South of the United States. As part of ACTION Wrestling, he became the ACTION Champion, a title he held for a record of 798 days.[4] In 2018, he worked in a squash match for the WWE development territory, WWE NXT, losing against Dominik Dijakovic.[5] On January 21, 2022, Mack defeated Alex Shelley to win the Independent Wrestling World Championship. With his title win, he became the first male openly gay world champion.[6][7] Mackey retired from wrestling on June 16, 2023.
