Florida Championship Wrestling (2009–2011)

In September 2009, it was reported that Slocum had signed a contract with World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE), and had been assigned to Florida Championship Wrestling (FCW), a WWE developmental territory under the ring name 'Jackson Andrews'.[4] He made his in-ring debut in late 2009.[5]

In early 2010, Andrews formed an alliance and tag team with Curt Hawkins, with the pair debuting as a tag team on February 18 by defeating The South Beach Boys (Darren Young and Percy Watson).[6] The two began feuding with Hawkins' former stablemates The Dude Busters (Caylen Croft and Trent Barreta), who Hawkins had abandoned to ally with Andrews.[6] Andrews went on to defeat both Croft and Barreta in singles matches in March.[6] Over the next few months, Andrews and Hawkins went on to face The Rotundo Brothers (Bo and Duke), and the team of Eli Cottonwood and Wes Brisco.[6] In November and December, Andrews appeared at several WWE house shows, losing to Goldust and defeating JTG.[7][8] In May 2011, Slocum was released from FCW.[9]

Raw (2010)

On the December 6, 2010, episode of Raw, Slocum appeared as the unidentified bodyguard for Tyson Kidd, accompanying Kidd to the ring and attacking Kidd's opponent, David Hart Smith.[10][11] The following week, Kidd introduced him as 'Jackson Andrews'.[12] On the December 27 episode of Raw, Andrews had an in-ring confrontation with Mark Henry after Henry had defeated Kidd, but Henry performed his finishing move on Andrews.[13] After this, Slocum was sent back to FCW for more training. He was released by the WWE in May 2011
