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 also 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. At 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 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 the March 8 television taping, Paul Burchill cost Stevens the TV Title against Seth Skyfire.[1]
On August 4, 2006, Stevens made his SmackDown! debut when he was introduced (along with KC James) by Michelle McCool as one of her favorite "Teachers Pets." The two went on to defeat Funaki and Scotty 2 Hotty with the help of McCool.
The following week, Stevens and James defeated WWE Tag Team Champions Paul London and Brian Kendrick in a non-title match. On the August 18 show, Stevens and James ambushed the Tag Team Champions. Stevens and James got their Tag Team Championship shot against the tandem at No Mercy on October 8, but failed to win the titles. Soon after, both Stevens and James were taken off television and sent to Ohio Valley Wrestling.
After being removed from the SmackDown! roster when Michelle McCool was hospitalized, Stevens returned to OVW. On March 14, 2007 he defeated Paul Burchill to win the OVW Heavyweight Championship, becoming the third OVW Triple Crown winner. However, on May 9th, Burchill defeated Stevens to regain the OVW Championship. On June 8th, Stevens defeated Burchill in a #1 OVW Heavyweight Contendership match.
He has since been released by WWE. There has been no word on where Aaron is, and when he will start wrestling on the independent circuit again. But, his 90 day no compete cause has ended as of late.
