Burch made his televised debut for NXT on the May 15, 2013 episode with a loss to Bray Wyatt. From then on, Burch was used sporadically as enhancement talent until it was reported on April 30, 2014 that he was released by WWE.

On July 16, 2015, though not re-signed to WWE, Burch made an appearance on an NXT television taping, where he lost to Kevin Owens. He made a second appearance on the August 13 taping of NXT, where he lost to Apollo Crews. He made a third appearance on September 16, losing to Tye Dillinger. He made a fourth appearance on the October 21 taping of NXT, where he lost to James Storm. Burch made a further appearance on NXT on January 13, 2016 in a losing effort against Tommaso Ciampa. He again faced Ciampa and Johnny Gargano, teaming up with Rob Ryzin on the May 18 taping of NXT, losing again. On September 14, during the Cruiserweight Classic finale, he teamed up with Sean Maluta and lost to The Bollywood Boyz, Gurv Sihra and Harv Sihra, in a dark match. On January 6, 2017 it was announced by WWE that Burch would be a participant in the 16 man WWE United Kingdom Championship Tournament. Burch was eliminated in the first round by Jordan Devlin. On the April 19 episode of NXT, Burch appeared in a losing effort to Andrade "Cien" Almas. He would then appear in NXT as part of the UK division this time losing to the WWE United Kingdom Champion Pete Dunne.

From August, Burch would begin a feud with Oney Lorcan, after the two traded victories, they would go on to form a tag team and would feud with Riddick Moss and Tino Sabbatelli. In early 2018 they would take part in the Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic, but were eliminated in the first round. On April 29, 2018, Burch signed a full-time contract with WWE again. Burch and Lorcan would go on to face the Undisputed Era at NXT TakeOver: Chicago in a losing effort.

On September 24, 2019, Burch made his 205 Live debut when he and his tag team partner Oney Lorcan defeated the WWE Cruiserweight Champion Drew Gulak and Tony Nese.

On January 30, 2020, Burch returned to NXT UK to team up with Oney Lorcan in a tag team match, defeating The Hunt (Primate and Wild Boar). They then teamed up again on the February 13 episode of NXT UK in a non-title match against the NXT UK Tag Team Champions Gallus (Mark Coffey and Wolfgang) but failed to beat them. On the May 20 episode of NXT, Lorcan and Burch defeated Ever-Rise and proceeded to call out the NXT Tag Team Champions Imperium (Marcel Barthel and Fabian Aichner) afterwards by mocking their signature pose. The following week, they challenged them for the NXT Tag Team Titles.

On the October 21 episode of NXT, after Undisputed Era members Bobby Fish and Roderick Strong were taken out, Lorcan and Burch replaced them in an NXT Tag Team Championship match. They won the titles by defeating Breezango (Tyler Breeze and Fandango) with help from Pat McAfee, turning heel in the process. On March 23, 2021, William Regal vacated the NXT Tag Team Championships after Burch suffered a shoulder injury. On the September 7 edition of NXT, Burch and Lorcan returned and challenged MSK for the titles, but were defeated. After the match, both Ridge Holland and Pete Dunne, who were affiliated with them through McAfee before Burch's injury, attacked Lorcan and Burch, thus ending their alliance. On November 4, Lorcan was released from his WWE contract, disbanding their team. Burch himself would be released two months later on January 5, 2022, before ever appearing back on television.
