[7][8] While with IWW, Marceau wrestled at the Combined Clubs in Balbriggan, Ireland, along with future WWE wrestlers Drew Galloway and Sheamus O'Shaunessy.
[1] As Marcus Louis, he made his television debut on the 12 February 2014 episode of NXT, tagging with Jason Jordan in a loss to Luke Harper and Erick Rowan of the Wyatt Family.
[12] On the 26 June episode of NXT, Lefort and Louis attempted to attack Colin Cassady, who was saved by Enzo Amore.
[14] At NXT TakeOver: Fatal 4-Way in September 2014, Lefort lost to Amore, and was thus supposed to lose his hair as per the match stipulation.
[15][16] Louis initially persisted in his alliance with Lefort, hiding his lack of hair with headgear and a wig, only to lose to Amore in a singles match on the 25 September episode of NXT when his baldness was exposed.
[19] This storyline led to Louis' character turning crazy,[20] being described as a "baldy Kane version 2.0" by the Pro Wrestling Torch Newsletter.
[24] Yet the storyline with Breeze was dropped when Louis returned months later in June, still bald and deranged, tagging again with Jason Jordan in a loss to the Vaudevillains.
[27] He then wrestled a string of tag team matches during the rest of the 2015 summer winding down toward the October month and into the fall season.
[28] On the May 24 episode of Impact!, Vierge and La Ruffa made their televised debuts under the ring names Baron Dax and Basile Baraka, attacking Grado and Mahabali Shera, and aligning themselves with Al Snow.
