WWE Joey Mercury

During the year, 2004, Matthews signed on a developmental deal by WWE and assigned to the Ohio Valley Wrestling where he formed a tag team with Nitro and Melina naming the team as MNM. The team wrestled in OVW for a period of one year and won the Ohio Valley Wrestling Southern Tag Team Championship before becoming popular with the SmackDown! Brand where he was renamed Joey Mercury.

During the year, 2006 MNM lost the tag team title to London and Kendrick, where Nitro and Melina pounced on Mercury thereby breaking the team. Afterwards they were removed from the SmackDown! brand and were reappeared on RAW brands. The main reason why all of them pounced on Mercury is that he was tested positive on a drug test. Because of this incidence Joey Mercury stayed away from wrestling television for more than a period of six months during which period he underwent a drug rehabilitation course at College Park Georgia.

Mercury actually stayed away from the WWE television for a period of six months. During that period he underwent a drug rehabilitation Course in Park Georgia College, which has got exclusive contract with the WWE.

After undergoing the rehabilitation course, he came back to the Wrestling world and again formed a team with Nitro and Melina and appeared in several matches individually and also in teams.
