After WWE rebranded FCW as NXT in 2012, English's television debut took place on the June 27 episode of the rebooted NXT taped at Full Sail University, where he was defeated by Leo Kruger. English was used primarily as a jobber throughout the rest of the year, losing to wrestlers including Bray Wyatt, Ryback, and Big E Langston.[9][10][11] He scored his first televised victory on the September 18, 2013 episode of NXT, defeating Michael Q. Laurie.[12]

A week later, on the September 25 episode of NXT, English sang a parody version of the "Major-General's Song" from the musical The Pirates of Penzance while approaching the ring. He subsequently began singing before, during and after his matches.[3][13] Throughout the year, English earned wins over Jason Jordan and Camacho.[14][15] In the beginning of 2014, English began a feud with Colin Cassady, losing to him on the January 1 episode of NXT in a sing-off, but later defeating him in several matches.[16][17][18][19]

In June 2014, English formed a tag team with Simon Gotch, known as The Vaudevillains.[20] On August 22, 2015 at NXT TakeOver: Brooklyn, the Vaudevillains defeated Blake and Murphy to win the NXT Tag Team Championship.[21] On the November 11 episode of NXT, the Vaudevillains lost the title to Dash and Dawson, ending their reign at 61 days.[22] On the November 25 episode of NXT, the Vaudevillains challenged Dash and Dawson to a rematch for the title in a losing effort. On the December 23 episode of NXT, the Vaudevillains competed in a four-way tag team match against Blake and Murphy, The Hype Bros and Chad Gable and Jason Jordan, which was won by Gable and Jordan. On the March 16, 2016 episode of NXT, the Vaudevillains were defeated by Gable and Jordan, now known as American Alpha, in a number one contenders match for the NXT Tag Team Championship.
