Damen Sandow's six-year run in WWE saw him doing quite well for himself on the main roster. He formed a team with Cody Rhodes, with the duo calling themselves Rhodes Scholars. At Money In The Bank 2013, Sandow won the briefcase and an opportunity at the World title.

He cashed in the briefcase on John Cena months later but failed to defeat him. An incredibly popular run as The Miz's stunt double followed, which resulted in Sandow regularly getting huge reactions from the audience.

WWE didn't capitalize on his popularity though and he was released by the company in 2016. Following his release, Sandow became a Top 5 Twitter trend in the United States.

After his departure, Sandow wrestled in various promotions, most notably Impact Wrestling and the National Wrestling Alliance. He is currently a big name in NWA and has won the NWA National Championship on one occasion.

In Impact Wrestling, Sandow won a tournament for the Impact Grand Championship by defeating Eddie Edwards in the finals.
