Wrestling under his real name, Valenzuela made his first appearance on NXT as an enhancement talent, teaming with Elias Samson in a tag team match, losing to American Alpha.

Jose continued to feud with SAnitY, forming an alliance with Tye Dillinger and Roderick Strong to battle the faction in early 2017.

Jose picked up an upset victory against Baron Corbin on the April 30 episode of Raw, after interference from Titus O'Neil. This would lead to Jose teaming with O'Neil and Apollo Crews to face Corbin and The Revival on the May 7 episode of Raw in a losing effort. He failed to qualify for the Men's Money in the Bank ladder match in a triple threat match against Corbin and the eventual winner Bobby Roode on the May 14 episode of Raw. On the May 21 episode of Raw, Jose was defeated by Corbin to end their feud. Jose then started a feud with Mojo Rawley.
