In his first run for WWE from 2005 to 2010, Hankinson was known for various gimmicks: He played an imposter version of Kane in 2006. From 2007 to 2009 he teamed with Jesse as Festus, a quiet man who turned insane when the bell rang. In November 2009, he became Luke Gallows, the enforcer and "disciple" of CM Punk in the Straight Edge Society, until his release. After his time in TNA and NJPW, he returned to WWE along with former Bullet Club member Karl Anderson. They joined AJ Styles, who previously was their leader in the Bullet Club. Gallows and Anderson won the Raw Tag Team Championship twice. They were released in 2020, signed a contract with TNA, now called Impact Wrestling, and won the Impact World Tag Team Championship three times. In October 2022, they returned to WWE and reunited with Styles.
