WWE (2020–2026) NXT (2020–2024) On August 31, 2020, it was reported that Gacy had signed a contract with WWE, following the company's purchase of Evolve in July. On October 7, WWE announced that he had reported for training at the Performance Center, alongside five other professional wrestlers from Evolve.

On the September 21 episode of NXT, Gacy began a new gimmick, portraying a politically correct spokesperson who "wants to make NXT his safe space", therefore establishing himself as a heel. He was later defeated by Cameron Grimes. On the October 5 episode of NXT, he defeated Ikemen Jiro and proceeded to give him a hug afterwards. Gacy formed an alliance with Harland who began accompanying him to the ring as his bodyguard. On the November 23 episode of NXT 2.0, he convinced the Cruiserweight Champion Roderick Strong to grant him a match for the Cruiserweight Championship at NXT WarGames, despite not weighing 205 pounds or below. At War Games, Gacy was unsuccessful at capturing the title. In April 2022, Gacy began feuding with the NXT Champion Bron Breakker after he and Harland kidnapped Breakker's father, Rick Steiner. Gacy's character began to morph into a dark and sadistic cult-like leader. A title match between Gacy and Breakker was later made official for Spring Breakin' on May 3, 2022. Gacy would fail to capture the championship. Gacy eventually challenged Breakker for a rematch at NXT In Your House, with the stipulation that if Breakker gets disqualified, he loses the NXT Championship. Gacy would fail to capture the championship yet again.

On the July 19, 2022 episode of NXT 2.0, Gacy revealed the druids' identities as the Dyad, consisting of Jagger Reid and Rip Fowler, formerly known as James Drake and Zack Gibson of the Grizzled Young Veterans respectively. Collectively, Gacy and the Dyad were known as Schism, and they began a feud with Cameron Grimes. During this rivalry, the debuting Ava Raine, would join Schism and cost Grimes in his final match with Gacy on the November 8th episode of NXT, ending the feud. Gacy competed in the Men's Iron Survivor match at NXT Deadline, but was unsuccessful in becoming number one contender. The Schism stable would slowly begin to disband in September 2023, starting with the expiration of The Dyad's contracts on September 14, and culminating in a backstage segment at NXT No Mercy where Gacy declared the Schism to be "dead", which was followed up by Ava posting a cryptic tweet simply saying "goodbye" to NXT.

During the Second week of NXT Halloween Havoc, on October 31, 2023, Gacy appeared in a vignette possibly hinting at a new character change. Over the following weeks, he would appear in segments which included him appearing out of a car trunk, also posing as a construction worker. On the January 16, 2024 episode of NXT, Gacy was part of the commentary table providing color commentary alongside Booker T and Vic Joseph during the match between Dijak and Trey Bearhill. During the match, Dijak verbally insulted Booker T and Joseph, and knocked Gacy's headphone off while Gacy was standing up for Booker and Joseph. After the match, Gacy attacked Dijak, turning face and starting a feud with Dijak in the process. Gacy was defeated by Dijak in No Disqualification match at NXT Vengeance Day and again at NXT Roadblock in an Asylum match. At Stand & Deliver, Gacy was attacked by Ridge Holland with a chair, but Gacy told the referee he was still able to compete. Gacy ended up defeating Shawn Spears in his final match for NXT.
