In 2001, he signed with WWE (then WWF) and was assigned to its developmental territory Ohio Valley Wrestling (OVW), where he won the OVW Heavyweight Championship and OVW Southern Tag Team Championship.[12][13] After moving up to WWE's main roster on SmackDown in 2002, he became a breakout success after adopting the character of a villainous trash-talking rapper.[14][15] After winning his first WWE Championship in 2005, he transitioned into a clean-cut heroic character, which he described as a "goody-two shoes Superman".[16] He led the company as its franchise player[17] and public face from the mid-2000s to the late 2010s.[18]
