## History

### *NXT*; Rise to Stardom

“*First off, I want to thank my mentor, Rey. I couldn't done it without you. And most importantly, to the fans. Thank you for your support. I can't wait to show you what I can do this Monday on Raw.*”
―Jacob Cass' promo after winning *NXT*
Cass was one of the two finalists, with Rey Mysterio as his mentor. He was declared the winner after defeating a local competitor.

### Main Roster Debut

Cass makes his WWE in-ring debut on Raw by defeating Daniel Bryan, whom he was supposed to face in his debut the week prior, but he was attacked by Husky Harris backstage. On the third week of Raw, he teams with Daniel Bryan to defeat two former Nexus members, Husky Harris and Justin Gabriel. After the match, he and Mysterio are attacked by former Nexus leader, Wade Barrett.

On the final week of Raw before Survivor Series, he battles Justin Gabriel. He attempts to perform a springboard moonsault, but winds up botching it, allowing Gabriel to take advantage just for the match to end in a no contest. Michael Cole then gets a text message from the WWE Board of Directors stating that, due to the inability of the Superstars to keep themselves under control, they've hired a 'single entity' to reign them in as the general manager of both Raw and SmackDown. At Survivor Series, he is the sole survivor, eliminating Barrett, Gabriel, and Harris. After the match, he was attacked by Barrett yet again, who was humiliated about this loss, before he is saved by Kevin Nash, the new general manager of Raw and SmackDown.

### WCW Invasion

During the Raw after Survivor Series, Cass is put into a World Heavyweight Championship #1 contender match by Arn Anderson, who was there as part of Nash's plans of Clash of the Champions, a pay-per-view from WCW, against Alberto Del Rio on Mysterio's behalf after the former openly criticizes WWE's attempt to drudge up WCW, which he wins. After failing to become part of one of two teams that will take on Vader and Road Warrior Animal after his partner, Husky Harris, blindsides him, he defeats Harris in a "You're Fired" match, earning him the right to face Booker T. At Clash of the Champions, he defeats Booker T and is congratulated by Mysterio, who offers to let him stay at ringside for his title match. During the World Heavyweight Championship match, the WCW legends suddenly attack them, ending the match in chaos. Cass joins John Cena to fend off the WCW legends, only to be knocked unconscious by Booker T following the Harlem Sidekick, allowing the legends to severely injure Cena when Nash reveals himself to have instigated the entire thing.

The Raw after Clash of the Champions, Cass is one of the WWE stars fighting Nash's legends, beating down Vader after he takes out John Morrison. The following week, he defeats Kofi Kingston to earn a spot in the Royal Rumble match for the vacated World Heavyweight title but has to be saved by Big Show and Orton when Arn Anderson and Animal attack him after the match. Cass was then set to team with Randy Orton to take on Animal and Anderson, but a blindside attack by Nash, Booker T and Vader and the other legends takes him out. He gets a measure of revenge by beating Animal in a match the following week.

During the 40-Man Royal Rumble match, he eliminates Kane, Orton, Ziggler, Morrison, Steamboat, Mysterio and Rhodes before he was eliminated by Big Show when he and Rhodes betray WWE and align themselves with Nash due to their ties with WCW, allowing Nash to spray paint WCW on the title. A few weeks later, after Cass and Mysterio were successful in a tag match against Rhodes and Big Show, Mysterio is approached by Nash, who claims he has sided with WCW, but is hurled through the announce table when he openly resists. The following week, Cass defeats Vader in a Steel Cage match for the right to compete in the Elimination Chamber match for the vacated WWE Championship. This prompts Nash to create a 3-on-1 handicap match pitting Cass against Vader, Rhodes, and Booker T and insert himself in the WCW loaded Chamber match. When Nash interferes in the handicap match when things don't go his way, Triple H returns and comes to Cass' rescue and reveals that, after becoming offended that Nash would take advantage of their friendship in order to cause all this chaos, he went to the Board of Directors and convinced them to have him replace Nash as the general manager of Raw and SmackDown.

### WWE's Last Stand

At Elimination Chamber, Cass eliminates Booker T in the Chamber before he was eliminated by Nash with the assist from his own mentor, Rey, who turned on him to join Team WCW as part of Nash's backup plan. Looking for answers, Cass confronts Mysterio on the following Raw, who claims his actions were out of necessity in order to win the WWE title and cement his legacy. He offers Cass the chance to join the WCW side in order to fulfill his dreams, but when Cass reveals that his dreams came through when he signed with WWE, Big Show attacks him, causing Triple H to come to his rescue once again. This forces Nash to challenge Cass and Triple H to an all-or-nothing tag match at WrestleMania, stating his actions the last few months were out of revenge for WWE costing him the power he had when he was in WCW. Cass and Triple H win a tag team warm-up match the following week, but Cass ends up injured following a match against the Big Show after he refuses to break the submission hold, and an attack by Nash and Mysterio in proceeding weeks. At WrestleMania, they were defeated by Kevin Nash and Rey Mysterio when Nash, who was already eliminated, knocks Cass out with a crowbar, allowing Mysterio to steal the match and give WCW control of Raw for the next year.

On the first night of WCW Monday Nitro, Triple H criticizes Nash for the cheap victory at WrestleMania before challenging him to an all-or-nothing 12-man elimination Hell in a Cell match, which Nash agrees to on the condition that it be held at Starrcade in order to prevent Triple H from trying to pull a Montreal Screwjob situation on him. The following week, Cass battles The Miz and Edge in a 2-on-1 handicap match when they unfairly blame him for putting them in this situation, but the match ended in a no contest when they were interrupted by Booker T and Vader. Cass steps in and saves Miz and Edge, unifying Team WWE once more.

Before Starrcade, he was ambushed by Vader and Animal, where Cass manages to fend them off, only to be outnumbered again by Booker T and Cody Rhodes where he fends them off also. With Cody's rendered unconscious, Triple H, Sheamus, and Cass put him out of the equation for Team WCW.

At Starrcade, Cass starts off the match for WWE, eliminating Vader, Booker T, Big Show (with the help of Triple H and Mr. McMahon), and Rey Mysterio. Furious that WCW was on the verge of losing, Nash pulls out the crowbar and beats down and eliminates Mr. McMahon, but mistakenly believes he eliminated Cass after a two count. Cass tries to fight back, but Nash drives him through the Cell wall and, when that wasn't enough, attempts to Jackknife him onto the concrete floor, forcing Cass to escape to the roof of the Cell. When Nash chases after him, Cass spears him through the roof causing both to crash through the ring. Cass barely wills himself out of the hole before Nash, saving WWE and shutting WCW down for good.
