Shortly after being fired by Carmella, Reginald would enter a new partnership with Nia Jax and Shayna Baszler. Reginald would began accompanying Jax and Baszler to the ring on *Monday Night Raw* and would interfere in Jax and Baszler's matches. Reginald would often frustrate Shayna Baszer, which would lead to a match between the two on the May 31 episode of *Raw*, in which Reginald would win. Over time, Baszler's, Jax's and Reginald's relationship would start to deteriorate, and the partnership would officially end on the July 19 episode of *Raw,* where after a loss to Women's Tag Team Champions Natalya and Tamina, Jax and Baszler would turn on Reginald and fire him. Just seconds after being fired, Akira Tozawa would rush to the ring with his 24/7 Championship after being chased by mu;tiple WWE superstars, and Reginald would attack Tozawa before pinning him and becoming the new 24/7 Champion, marking his first title win in WWE. On the July 30 episode of *SmackDown*, his ring name was shortened to **Reggie**. Along with shortening his name, he also dropped his French accent, saying that he was not actually French and had only acted like he was because Carmella needed a sommelier and it got his foot in the door to becoming a WWE superstar. On September 25, he became the longest reigning 24/7 Champion. On the November 8 episode of *Raw*, Reggie lost the 24/7 Championship to Drake Maverick, ending his reign at 113 days; however he regained the title back from Maverick a minute later. On the November 22 episode of *Raw*, Reggie lost the title to Cedric Alexander (who was later pinned by Dana Brooke), ending his second reign at twelve days. He then helped Dana Brooke retain the title for a few months, eventually asking her out on Valentines Day, though she would turn him down. He then pinned her in revenge to win the title for the third time. A week later, Reggie lost the title back to Dana Brooke. On March 28, they were engaged. On the April 18 episode of *Raw*, during their wedding, Reggie pinned his partner to win the 24/7 title, losing to Tamina shortly after. On May 2, Brooke lost the 24/7 title to Nikki A.S.H. during a backstage attack. Brooke soon regained the title via pinfall in a 24/7 Championship match. Brooke also requested a divorce from Reggie, after he attempted to pin her. Reggie would then soon take a hiatus.

In late October, mysterious vignettes began airing on *NXT* that were done by a person under the alias **Scrypts**, a seemingly rebellious character who claimed to have unparalleled skills and would bring down *NXT*. More vignettes aired over the next few weeks and on the November 22 episode of *NXT*, Reggie debuted for the brand as the mysterious Scrypts, officially changing his ring name and gimmick. In December, Scrypts engaged in a brief feud with Ikemen Jiro after taking his jacket, beating him on the December 27 episode of *NXT* and giving back his jacket afterwards. On the January 27, 2023 episode of *NXT Level Up*, Scrypts defeated Oro Mensah. Two weeks later, he suffered a loss against Axiom. On the March 28 episode of *NXT*, Scrypts competed in a twenty-man battle royal to claim a spot in the fatal-five-way NXT North American Championship match at Stand and Deliver, eliminating Malik Blade but eliminating himself after flipping over the top rope. On the May 2 episode of *NXT*, Axiom defeated Scrypts and after the match, Axiom took off Scrypts's mask and his identity was revealed. The following week, Scrypts would turn face by saving Axiom from an attack by Dabba-Kato. His previous time as Reggie was also referenced, and while Scrypts confirmed that was his real name, he goes by the Scrypts name as a nickname given to him by his "people", before forging an uneasy alliance with Axiom. On the July 18 edition of *NXT*, Scrypts turned on Axiom and joined forces with Bronco Nima and Lucien Price, thus turning heel once again. On the September 27 episode of *NXT*, the stable of Scrypts, Nima and Price were given the name of Out the Mud, or OTM for short.
