Training Titus began training at the
ROH Wrestling Academy with
Austin Aries at the age of 17, and was later trained by
Bryan Danielson at the academy. He was one of only two people in his class, the other being Mitch Franklin. His second match, the following day at
Evening the Odds 2006, saw him and Payne win a tag team match against The Heartbreak Express by
disqualification. In his next appearances, in late 2008, Titus began a feud with Grizzly Redwood, which culminated in a six-man tag team match between the team of Redwood and the Loggers, and Titus and The Heartbreak Assassins at
Unstoppable 2008. Titus won the
FIP Florida Heritage Championship on March 28, 2009, by defeating Chris Jones. He successfully defended the championship against Jones on May 2, and Brad Attitude on August 1 at ''Heatstroke '09
. He lost the championship to Attitude on October 3 at Fallout 2009'', after holding the championship for just over six months. Titus' last appearance in FIP was at
Southern Stampede on April 17, 2010, when he competed in a battle royal, before defeating Bruce Santee in a singles match later that night.
Independent circuit (2006–present) In February 2008, Titus took part in
Chikara's
King of Trios tournament alongside Shane Hagadorne and Alex Payne, losing to Las Chivas Rayadas (Chiva II, Chiva III, and
Chiva IV) in the first round. On July 8, 2013, Titus appeared as an extra in a backstage segment on
WWE Raw, dressed in a suit in the background during a segment involving
Brad Maddox and
Vickie Guerrero. Titus then appeared 2 years later on
SmackDown getting quickly defeated in a Tag Team match by
The Ascension. Titus also began appearing for
Jersey Championship Wrestling (JCW) in 2014. On March 28, he and Joey Janela entered a tournament for the vacant
JCW Tag Team Championship. They defeated Jarrett Foster and Steve Sterling in the preliminaries,
Ken Doane and
Mike Mondo in the semifinals, and Chris Dickinson and Aaron Epic in the finals to win the titles. Most of Titus' matches in ROH up until 2008 were dark matches, with the only exception being at
Caged Rage on August 24, 2007, when he lost to
Jimmy Jacobs. Titus went on to win the
ROH Top of the Class Trophy from Ernie Osiris in a dark match at the
Respect is Earned II pay-per-view on June 7, 2008. Titus was the last holder of the Trophy, as ROH stopped recognizing it as an official championship in October 2008. In mid-2008, Titus began a feud with
Delirious over female wrestler
Daizee Haze. Both men attempted to get a date with Haze, and Titus began training with Delirious and Haze. Shortly afterwards, Titus claimed to have had sex with Haze and to have recorded it on his
mobile phone. He later had Haze's face airbrushed onto his wrestling tights. His feud with Delirious came to an end at the
Rising Above pay-per-view, when Delirious defeated him in a grudge match. Titus later said that this feud was the favorite of his career.
The All-Night Express and S.C.U.M. (2009–2013) In early 2009, Titus began teaming with
Kenny King as the All-Night Express. In March 2009, Titus and King formed an alliance with
Austin Aries, interfering in his matches and attacking wrestlers on his behalf. On December 18 at
Final Battle 2010 the All Night Express defeated
Adam Cole and
Kyle O'Reilly, announcing their intention of becoming
ROH World Tag Team Champions in 2011. On February 26, 2011, at
9th Anniversary Show, Titus and King failed in their first attempt to win the ROH World Tag Team Championship, when they were defeated by
The Kings of Wrestling (
Chris Hero and
Claudio Castagnoli). (left) and Titus (right) in 2011 During the program with the Kings of Wrestling, Titus and King showed signs of a
face turn and finalized their turn on March 19 at
Manhattan Mayhem IV, after defeating the
Briscoe Brothers (Jay and Mark). On April 6, Ring of Honor announced that Titus had signed a new contract with the promotion. On September 17 at
Death Before Dishonor IX, the All Night Express defeated the Briscoe Brothers in a
ladder match to become the number one contenders to the ROH World Tag Team Championship. On June 24 at
Best in the World 2012: Hostage Crisis, Titus and King defeated
Wrestling's Greatest Tag Team (
Charlie Haas and
Shelton Benjamin) to win the ROH World Tag Team Championship for the first time. On July 10, 2012, Titus was officially stripped of the ROH World Tag Team Championship from The All Night Express due to the departure of Kenny King, ending their reign at 16 days. Titus then attempted to regain the title by entering a tournament with rival Charlie Haas. The team made it all the way to the finals, before losing to
S.C.U.M. (Jimmy Jacobs and
Steve Corino) on September 15 at
Death Before Dishonor X: State of Emergency. On September 22, Titus unsuccessfully challenged
Kevin Steen for the
ROH World Championship. On March 2, 2013, at the
11th Anniversary Show, Titus,
Cliff Compton,
Jimmy Rave and
Matt Hardy, revealed themselves as the newest members of S.C.U.M. by attacking numerous members of the ROH roster following the main event, joining
Kevin Steen,
Jimmy Jacobs,
Rhino and
Steve Corino as members of the group. On June 23, S.C.U.M. was forced to disband, after being defeated by Team ROH in a
Steel Cage Warfare match.
The Romantic Touch and The Cabinet/The Rebellion (2013–2017) Titus returned to ROH on October 26, 2013, working under a mask and the ring name "The Romantic Touch", defeating Will Ferarra in a dark match prior to
Glory By Honor XII. On September 18, 2015, Titus dropped the Romantic Touch persona, reuniting with the returning Kenny King as The All Night Express to defeat the Briscoe Brothers in a tag team match at
All Star Extravaganza VII. Titus teamed with
Caprice Coleman and
Kenny King to form the Cabinet. The Cabinet defeated
Jason Kincaid, Leon St. Giovanni and Shaheem Ali in the first round of the
ROH World Six-Man Tag Team Championship. The Cabinet was defeated by
A. C. H., Jay White and
Kushida. The Cabinet was originally portrayed as something not be taken seriously, but in late 2016, the trio turned serious and renamed themselves "The Rebellion", eventually also adding Shane Taylor as a member. The Rebellion remained together until June 2017, when they were defeated by Search and Destroy in a match, where the losing team had to disband.
The Dawgs, gimmick change and The Foundation (2017–2022) Following the dissolution of the Rebellion, Titus formed a new tag team named "The Dawgs" with
Will Ferrara in late 2017. By early 2019, Titus and Ferrara quietly split up their team. Titus then started a new gimmick reminiscent of
Rick Rude and
Lex Luger, showing off his body by constantly flexing. On the November 28, 2020 episode of
Ring of Honor Wrestling, Titus appeared with newly formed faction The Foundation (
Jonathan Gresham,
Jay Lethal &
Tracy Williams) while donning a red octopus mask. ==Championships and accomplishments==
