NXT (2014–present)

Maclin debuted on June 12 as Steve Cutler, in a singles match won by CJ Parker. For the course of 2014, Cutler wrestled in singles and tag matches, with a mixed record of wins and losses. He wrestled a considerable number of singles matches against Baron Corbin, often suffering a string of losses in every match between the two.

The Forgotten Sons (2016-present)

Cutler entered a tag team with Wesley Blake beginning on the October 21st edition of NXT. On that date, they shared the ring with Samoa Joe in a six-man tag team match won by Cedric Alexander, Shinsuke Nakamura & Tye Dillinger. On April 20 at NXT, Cutler and Blake teamed again in a match won by Heavy Machinery (Otis Dozovic & Tucker Knight). They were defeated again by Heavy machinery on the April 28th edition of NXT. Throughout the course of 2017, Cutler and Blake would face tag team combinations including Aleister Black & Drew McIntyre, the Street Profits, SAnitY, Heavy Machinery, Danny Burch & Oney Lorcan and TM-61. As a team they won their first tag match during a live house show on June 24, defeating Danny Burch & Oney Lorcan.

On February 1, 2018, Cutler and Blake debuted their team name as The Forgotten Sons. During the February 17th edition of NXT, The Forgotten Sons along with Chad Lail and Lacey Evans attacked SAnitY. They later joined Lail's corner for his match against Sanity member Killian Dain. Fifteen days later on February 16, The Forgotten Sons competed in a Fatal Four Way Number One Contendership match for the NXT Tag Team Championship, defeating rival teams Heavy Machinery, The Street Profits and The Authors Of Pain. Seven days later on February 23, The Forgotten Sons met The Undisputed ERA (Bobby Fish & Kyle O'Reilly) in a Tag Team Title match but did not succeed in winning the titles. Throughout the course of March, The Forgotten Sons would wrestle teams including SAnitY, The Authors Of Pain and The Street Profits as well as other randomized pairings of singles wrestlers. During the second day of the 2018 WrestleMania Axxess weekend event, The Forgotten Sons entered the NXT Tag Team Championship Invitational where they advanced in the first round after eliminating team SAnitY (Alexander Wolfe & Eric Young). On the following day on April 7, The Forgotten Sons were eliminated in the semifinals by TM-61. Afterwards the team spent the remainder of April and the month of May competing against various tag team combinations. On June 1, The Forgotten Sons would meet tag team newcomers introduced as the War Raiders (Hanson & Rowe) to whom they lost against in a tag match. On the following day, The Forgotten Sons each had their opportunity to compete in a battle royal to determine the new Number One Contender for the NXT North American Championship until the match was won by Tucker Knight.
