WWE Superstars, losing to Ryder. On the July 21 episode of
ECW, Reks gained her first win after defeating
Paul Burchill, and then beat him again the following week. Reks participated in a 10-man battle royal on the September 15 episode of
ECW for an
ECW Championship opportunity against
Christian, but the match would go on to be won by Ryder. Reks would begin a brief hiatus from television starting in November 2009 and began mainly working
dark matches and
house shows for both
SmackDown and
Raw and FCW matches. Reks was one of the participants in the 26-man pre-show battle royal at
WrestleMania XXVI. In April 2010, Reks joined the
SmackDown roster following ECW's cancellation. After months of only working
dark matches, Reks appeared as a
heel on the October 15 episode of
SmackDown, while sporting a beard, chest hair, and new attire in addition to
never referencing to her time on ECW. After a
promo, she challenged and defeated
Kaval in a match for the latter's spot in the SmackDown
Bragging Rights team. On the
Raw before Bragging Rights, she participated in a SmackDown vs.
Raw 30 Man Tag Team Battle Royal, in which SmackDown was victorious. At
Bragging Rights, Reks was able to eliminate
Santino Marella, before being eliminated by
Sheamus. However, Team SmackDown was successful in winning the Bragging Rights Cup for the second consecutive time, which would end up being Reks' most significant accomplishment in her WWE career. After this, Reks was placed on
Alberto Del Rio's
Survivor Series team. On the
SmackDown before the Survivor Series, she competed in a Ten Man Tag Team Battle Royal but her team lost. At
Survivor Series, she was eliminated by
Kofi Kingston, as Team Del Rio went on to lose the match to Team
Mysterio. Reks was then moved into a
feud with
Chris Masters, defeating him once on
SmackDown and twice on
Superstars. On January 30, 2011, Reks made her
Royal Rumble debut at the
namesake event, entering the
Royal Rumble match as the sixteenth entrant, but was eliminated from the match in only 34 seconds by
CM Punk and
the New Nexus. Reks was involved in another dark battle royal at
WrestleMania XXVII. Reks participated in a battle royal to determine the #1 contender for the World Heavyweight Championship. Her last in-ring television performance for five months would be beating
JTG on
Superstars. After wrestling
dark matches for a few months, Reks made her
Raw debut in a backstage segment with
Curt Hawkins,
Wade Barrett, and
Alberto Del Rio. On the September 8 episode of
Superstars, Reks made her in-ring return as she teamed with Hawkins to defeat
Titus O'Neil and
Percy Watson. Hawkins and Reks then began appearing on the fifth season of NXT, by attacking
the Usos from behind on the September 27 episode of
NXT. Over the next two weeks on
NXT, Hawkins and Reks faced the Usos in tag team matches, with Hawkins and Reks winning the first match and the Usos winning the second match. Reks made her singles return on October 16 losing to
Yoshi Tatsu. Hawkins and Reks would lose to the Usos once again on December 6. Reks and Hawkins would then lose a non-title match to the tag team champions Air Boom (
Evan Bourne and
Kofi Kingston) on the December 22 episode of
Superstars. Hawkins and Reks engaged in a feud with the duo of
Trent Barreta and Yoshi Tatsu beginning in December 2011. Both teams would play pranks on each other, with Tatsu being locked in a closet and Reks' hands being
superglued onto an
Xbox controller. The feud ended when Hawkins and Reks defeated Barreta and Tatsu on the January 18, 2012 episode of
NXT. Hawkins and Reks would then settle into the role of NXT's troublemakers, tormenting NXT host
Matt Striker on his lackluster career and how they should be main-eventing NXT, even once going to the extent of assaulting him after a match. They forced Striker to appoint
William Regal as NXT's prime authority figure on the February 29 episode of
NXT. Regal would employ harsh measures to keep Hawkins and Reks in line, including threatening suspensions for bad behaviour and condemning them to janitorial duty, this caused them much frustration. On the March 21 episode of
NXT Redemption, Striker was knocked out with
chloroform by
Johnny Curtis and
Maxine, and then Striker was kidnapped (
kayfabe) by unknown persons, later revealed to be Hawkins and Reks, who intended to blackmail Maxine into using her charms to get Regal to leave them alone. Unfortunately for Hawkins and Reks, Striker was rescued by
Derrick Bateman and
Kaitlyn. On the April 18 episode of
NXT, the freed Striker confronted Hawkins and Reks about the kidnapping, and Hawkins admitted the crime. As punishment, Regal put Hawkins and Reks in a match against each other with Striker as referee and the loser of the match would be fired. Even though Reks won to supposedly save her job at the expense of Hawkins', Regal decided to fire Reks as well, sending the two troublemakers away from NXT. However, Regal could not keep the duo away from NXT for long, as they managed to convince villainous higher authority figure
John Laurinaitis to rehire them as NXT's security team on the May 9 episode of
NXT. Hawkins and Reks would then continue to play the role of Laurinaitis' lackeys, confiscating anti-Laurinaitis signs at
Over the Limit and attacking
John Cena on the May 21 episode of
Raw. Hawkins and Reks' association with Laurinaitis ended after Laurinaitis lost his job at
No Way Out. On the final episode of the fifth season of
NXT on June 13, Hawkins and Reks defeated Bateman and
Percy Watson. Hawkins and Reks would then engage in a one-sided feud with
Ryback in July 2012. After both Hawkins and Reks lost singles matches to Ryback on
SmackDown, Ryback defeated both of them in a handicap match at
Money in the Bank. At
Raw 1000, Hawkins and Reks, along with
Jinder Mahal,
Drew McIntyre,
Hunico, and
Camacho, attempted to ambush
Kane to make a statement, but a returning
The Undertaker interrupted the attack and the
Brothers of Destruction disposed of Hawkins and Reks. The duo would once again lose to
Ryback on the August 6 episode of
Raw. After being told by SmackDown general manager
Booker T to "step it up", Hawkins and Reks debuted a stripper gimmick on the August 17 episode of
SmackDown while squashing a jobber tag team. A week later, Reks asked for her release as she intended to retire from wrestling to spend more time with her family; she and WWE parted ways on August 21, thus ending the team.
