Career

Impressed with his in-ring ability, WWE signed Stevens to a contract where he received numerous try-out matches on Heat against opponents such as Shelton Benjamin, Charlie Haas, Johnny Nitro and Maven. He even worked an angle where he had his fingers "broken" by Raven on HEAT.
Stevens then entered WWE's developmental territory Ohio Valley Wrestling, where he was called Aaron "The Idol" Stevens. On a house show in 2004, Stevens and Nova beat Chris Cage and Tank Toland to win the OVW Southern Tag Team Championship.
On January 4, 2006, Stevens won the OVW Television Championship after replacing Ken Doane in a three way dance with Brent Albright, and the then champion CM Punk. Doane was injured halfway through the match and Stevens came out to replace him. After interference from Punk, who was eliminated earlier in the match by Albright, Stevens was able to pin Albright to win the title. At a WWE house show in Louisville, Kentucky, Stevens successfully defended his TV Title against Albright.
At the March 8, 2006 television taping, Paul Burchill cost Stevens the TV Title against Seth Skyfire.[1]
After being removed from the SmackDown! roster when Michelle McCool was hospitalized, Stevens returned to OVW. On March 14th, 2006 he won the OVW Heavyweight Championship, becoming the third OVW Triple Crown winner.
