While WWE was touring England in 2005, Gabriel would make three appearances on its main programming, once as a jobber on Carlito's Cabana interview segment, again as a jobber to Kurt Angle after Angle disrespected England and once as part of the WWE security squad that helped keep the warring Raw and SmackDown! wrestlers apart. During April 2006, WWE would once again tour England, allowing Gabriel to make another appearance on Raw on 24 April, losing to Umaga.
On November 18, 2008, Gabriel made his debut as a face in ECW, with a dancing persona, and was managed by Alicia Fox. He defeated local wrestler Sal Rinauro in his debut match for the brand. Over the next weeks, he defeated several jobbers, before defeating Paul Burchill on the last episode of ECW in 2008. On the January 13, 2009 episode of ECW, Gabriel and Fox defeated The Burchills, Paul and Katie Lea, in a mixed tag team match. On February 24, he suffered his ECW first loss since coming to the brand against Mark Henry. Several weeks later, Gabriel lost to Tyson Kidd in a singles match, which was his last televised match on the brand. On April 15, 2009, Fox returned to the SmackDown brand as a part of the 2009 Supplemental Draft, leaving Gabriel on his own. After not appearing on television for the rest of the year, Gabriel was released from his WWE contract in January 2010.
