With the series becoming ever more popular, getting around 200,000 views an episode, Zack Ryder was pushed in WWE which culminated at TLC: Tables, Ladders & Chairs 2011 where he would take on Dolph Ziggler for the WWE United States Championship. At TLC 2011, Big O is seen celebrating with Zack Ryder and his father. In late 2011 and early 2012, WWE would become more social media aware and would begin to revamp their YouTube channel and to get people to subscribe they decided that Zack Ryder would have to move Z! True Long Island Story from his own YouTube channel to WWE's channel. However, since it was still Zack Ryder's show, the Big O could still be a part of it. The Big O would also be part of another YouTube series called CHI! True Long Island Story created by Michael Chiappetta who also was a Z! True Long Island Story regular and a friend of Zack Ryder.

At Draw The Line, during the match between the Big O and Apollyon, the Order of the Black interfered and attacked the Big O, he was declared the winner, but because a title cannot change hands via disqualification, Apollyon retained his NYWC Championship.
