ECW (2009-2010)

Reks in December 2009.

He made his main roster debut on ECW on Sci Fi on the June 30, 2009 episode, with a surfer in-ring persona, in a backstage promo with Zack Ryder.[3][4] Reks had suffered a knee injury just prior to his debut, but was able to work through it and made his in-ring debut on the July 2, 2009 episode of WWE Superstars, losing to Ryder.[5][6] On the July 21 episode of ECW, Reks gained his first win after defeating Paul Burchill, and then beat him again the following week.[7] Reks participated in a 10-man battle royal on the September 15 edition of ECW for an ECW Championship opportunity against Christian, but the match would go on to be won by Zack Ryder. Tuft would begin a brief hiatus from television starting in November 2009 and began mainly working dark matches. Reks was one of the participants in the 26 man pre-show battle royal at WrestleMania XXVI.

SmackDown, and feud with Chris Masters (2010-present)

In late April 2010, Reks joined the SmackDown roster. After months of only working dark matches, Reks made his SmackDown television debut as a heel on the October 15 edition of the program, with an unshaved look, wild hair and chest hair and without making reference to his time on ECW, when he challenged Kaval in a match to gain a spot in the SmackDown Bragging Rights team. Reks went on to win the match.[8] At Bragging Rights, Reks was able to eliminate Santino Marella but was himself eliminated by Sheamus. However, the Team Smackdown was successful in winning the Bragging Rights for the second consecutive time. He would become apart of Alberto Del Rio's Survivor Series team. He was eliminated by Kofi Kingston and his team would go on to lose. He then began a feud with Chris Masters, defeating him once on SmackDown and twice on WWE Superstars. He defeated JTG and Trent Barreta on Superstars as well. Reks made his first Royal Rumble appearance in the 2011 Royal Rumble as the sixteenth entrant where he was eliminated by Nexus. On the February 3, 2011 edition of WWE Superstars Reks teamed with Curt Hawkins and defeated Trent Barreta & JTG. After the match Reks attacked Hawkins with his finisher The Burning Hammer. Reks would then lose consecutive matches to Masters before attacking him after Masters' match against Hawkins.

Personal life

When asked on Twitter why he chose the name 'Tyler Reks', Tuft's response was: "Tyler is my wife and my first choice for the name of our first son - when we have kids. Reks is just a sick last name! And If I win a World Championship, people can chant "Reks Wrecks" ."[9]
