Back in 2013, Bo Dallas was part of the fledgling NXT developmental brand that had taken over WWE's old Florida Championship Wrestling slot and was beginning to become its own brand.

In January of 2013, a few days before the Royal Rumble event at the Royal Rumble Fanfest, NXT held a tournament with the winner granted a spot in the 2013 Royal Rumble. Bo Dallas beat Luke Harper, Conor O'Brian, and Leo Kruger to win the tournament and would make his main roster debut at the Royal Rumble as the 16th entry.

Dallas would enter the Royal Rumble and finish in the top 10 and eliminated the Intercontinental Champion, Wade Barrett, from the Rumble match. Barrett would gain revenge by coming back into the ring and eliminating Dallas.

The two would feud over the coming month with Dallas appearing on both NXT and main roster shows.
