Brian Kendrick made his WWE debut in 2003 after wrestling for a few years on the independent circuit. After nearly a year on SmackDown, the 42-year-old left WWE. Kendrick, however, returned to Vince McMahon's company in 2005.

Kendrick left WWE again in 2009. Following his departure, he wrestled in different promotions, including TNA and NJPW. However, in 2014, Kendrick signed with WWE to become a trainer at the performance center. Shortly after, he returned to in-ring competition.

Kendrick mainly competed on 205 Live. The 42-year-old captured the Cruiserweight Championship in October 2016 before losing it to Rich Swann a month later.

Kendrick competed for the last time nearly a year ago when he teamed up with Mansoor to defeat Chase Parker and Matt Martel on 205 Live.

Last April, the former WWE Tag Team Champion confirmed his retirement in a video package titled Brian Kendrick: Life After Wrestling. The 42-year-old currently works as a backstage producer in WWE.
