Main article: The Hart Dynasty

Wilson made his WWE television debut on the February 10, 2009, episode of *ECW on Sci Fi* managed by real-life girlfriend Natalya, under the name Tyson Kidd, defeating a local wrestler, Bao Nguyen.[23] Although Natalya was managing Kidd on *ECW*, she was still officially a member of the SmackDown brand until April 15, 2009, when she was drafted to ECW as part of the 2009 Supplemental Draft to join Kidd.[24] on April 28 edition of ECW, Kidd defeated Fit Finlay, on May 5 edition of ECW, Kidd lost to Evan Bourne, On the May 12 *ECW*, Kidd's match with Finlay was interrupted by DH Smith, now using the name David Hart Smith, who attacked Finlay to aid Kidd.[25] Kidd, Smith and Neidhart formed The Hart Trilogy, which was later changed to The Hart Dynasty on the May 26 *ECW*.[26][27]
 on the May 26 edition of ECW, Kidd, Jack Swagger & David Hart Smith
 defeated Tommy Dreamer & Christian in a 3 on 2 handicap match, on
June 2 edition of ECW, Kidd lost to Christian, on June 9 edition of ECW,
 The Hart Dynasty defeated Christian & Jack Swagger, on June 23

At the Bragging Rights pay-per-view in October, Kidd and Smith competed in a seven-on-seven tag match with Chris Jericho, Kane, Finlay, Matt Hardy and R-Truth as Team SmackDown to defeat Team Raw.[29] The Hart Dynasty got a title match for the Unified WWE Tag Team Championship on the December 25 *SmackDown* against D-Generation X, but were unsuccessful.

The Hart Dynasty turned face at WrestleMania XXVI, helping Bret Hart during his match against Vince McMahon, and the following night on *Raw* they defeated the Unified WWE Tag Team Champions ShoMiz (The Big Show and The Miz) in a non-title match after The Miz insulted Hart.[30][31] They earned a Unified Tag Team Championship match at the Extreme Rules pay-per-view by defeating ShoMiz in a tag team gauntlet match (which also included the team of John Morrison and R-Truth and the team of Montel Vontavious Porter and Mark Henry).[32] At the 2010 WWE Draft

```
on April 26, The Hart Dynasty, accompanied by Natalya and Hart,

defeated ShoMiz to win the Unified Tag Team Championship, when Kidd made

```
The Miz submit to the Sharpshooter.[7][8][33]

```

The following day, all three members of The Hart Dynasty were moved to the Raw brand as part of the Supplemental Draft.[34] On the May 10 *Raw*, he defeated The Miz to earn Bret Hart a match for The Miz's WWE United States Championship, and the following week The Hart Dynasty helped Hart to win the championship.[35][36] At Over the Limit, they retained the Unified WWE Tag Team Championship against Chris Jericho and The Miz.[37] The following night, on the May 24 *Raw*, they were attacked by debuting pair of The Usos (Jimmy Uso and Jey Uso) and Tamina after a match, provoking a feud between the two trios.[38][39] At Fatal 4-Way,

```

```

when Natalya pinned Tamina, and Smith and Kidd defeated The Usos at Money in the Bank to retain the championship.[40][41] At Night of Champions, The Hart Dynasty lost the WWE Tag Team Championship to Cody Rhodes and Drew McIntyre in a Tag Team Turmoil match which also involved The Usos, Vladimir Kozlov and Santino Marella, and the team of Evan Bourne and Mark Henry.[42]

#### Singles competition (2010–2012)

After a failed attempt to regain the championship, in which Kidd was
pushed off balance during their double-team Hart Attack move, Kidd and DH Smith began to have a falling out with one another. This culminated on the November 15 *Raw*, when Kidd turned heel,[43] refusing to tag in and attacking Smith during a match for the WWE Tag Team Championship against The Nexus (Justin Gabriel and Heath Slater).[44] The following week, Kidd faced John Morrison in a King of the Ring qualifying match, but was unsuccessful.[45] On the December 2 *WWE Superstars*, Kidd lost to Smith in a singles match. Afterward, Smith offered a handshake, but Kidd slapped Smith instead.[46] On the next *Raw*, Kidd defeated Smith in a rematch, during which he was accompanied by a bodyguard, later revealed as Jackson Andrews.[47][48] Andrews ceased appearing as Kidd's bodyguard after Mark Henry performed his finisher, the World's Strongest Slam, on Andrews during the December 27 *Raw*.[49] At the Royal Rumble, Kidd was a competitor in the Rumble match where he was eliminated by John Cena.

Kidd was Lucky Cannon's Pro on *NXT Redemption*. Cannon was eliminated on the June 14 *NXT*, the third Rookie eliminated.[58] A week later, Kidd shaved off his signature tuft of hair.[59] Kidd then feuded with Yoshi Tatsu on *NXT*, stemming from a backstage argument when Kidd broke Tatsu's toy figurine of himself and stole the leg off another.[60] During their series of matches, the pair traded wins, and Tatsu claimed back the stolen figurine leg by winning a Necklace on a Pole match on the July 26 *NXT*.[60][61][62] After the match, Kidd attacked Tatsu's right leg; a week later, Kidd claimed there would be no more Yoshi Tatsu in WWE.[63] Tatsu returned more than a month later on the September 6 *NXT* to defeat Kidd and end the feud.[64]

Royal in history, whose the winner would get a title shot, but failed to
 secure the victory.

 pre-show on September 16, Kidd was in a #1 Contender Battle Royal for a
 shot at the United States Championship where he was eliminated by
Tensai. Kidd and Gabriel would then compete in a series of tag team
matches on *Superstars* against Curt Hawkins and Tyler Reks, winning every match.[84][85][86] On the debut episode of *WWE Main Event* on October 3, Kidd and Gabriel, now unofficially called International Airstrike,[87] lost to Santino Marella and Zack Ryder in the quarter-finals of a tournament to decide the number one contenders to the tag team championship.[88] On the October 31 *NXT*, Kidd challenged Antonio Cesaro for the WWE United States Championship, but lost.[89] At the Survivor Series pay-per-view, Kidd was victorious in a 10 man elimination tag team match alongside Justin Gabriel, Rey Mysterio, Sin Cara, and Brodus Clay against Titus O' Neil, Darren Young, Primo, Epico, and Tensai; with Kidd pinning O'Neil and Epico.[90] In January 2013, Kidd suffered a torn knee meniscus and was estimated to require a 6–12 month hiatus to recover.[91] Despite his injury, Kidd appeared on the May 27 "Bret Hart Appreciation Night" ceremony.[92]

On the May 8, 2014 episode of *NXT*, Kidd participated in a 20-man battle royal for an NXT Championship shot, with him being involved in a three-way tie.[99] As a result, Kidd faced the other two winners, Tyler Breeze and Sami Zayn in a triple-threat match on the next episode of *NXT*, where Kidd won to become #1 contender for a match at TakeOver.

From late September 2014, Kidd started to win more main roster matches, while being flanked by Natalya, scoring wins on *Main Event* and *Superstars* over the likes of Kofi Kingston, Jack Swagger, R-Truth and Sin Cara.

```
There was storyline tension between Kidd and Natalya, due to Kidd at

```

times neglecting his wife, and at other times using Natalya as a human
shield or expecting her to illegally interfere in his matches.[100][101][102][103] On the November 3 episode of *Raw*,

```
Kidd again used Natalya to score another win, this time via countout in
a non-title match against United States Champion Sheamus.[104] On the November 14 episode of *SmackDown*, Kidd received a title opportunity for the WWE Intercontinental Championship in an elimination match with Cesaro and defending champion Dolph Ziggler, however he was unsuccessful.[105]

 themselves "The Brass Ring Club" and proceeded to pick up multiple wins
 over Los Matadores, as well as allying with Adam Rose to feud with The New Day. On the Royal Rumble pre-show, Kidd and Cesaro defeated The New Day. Later that night, Kidd entered the Rumble match at #12 and was eliminated by Daniel Bryan.[106] At WWE Fastlane on February 22, Kidd and Cesaro defeated The Usos to capture the WWE Tag Team Championship, a title he had not held for nearly 5 years.[107] They retained their title in a rematch the following night on *Raw* after Natalya caused a disqualification.[108]
