Before being promoted to the main WWE roster, Compton was assigned to WWE's developmental territory OVW in Louisville, Kentucky
in 2005. While situated at OVW, he wrestled under the name Dice Domino and was placed in tag team competition, alongside Deuce Shade. Together, the pair won the OVW Southern Tag Team Championship
on three occasions. It was also during this time that he and Deuce, alongside their manager Cherry
, were known as "The Throw-Backs" and later as "The Untouchables".

and was soon signed by World Wrestling Entertainment
(WWE). Upon signing with WWE, Compton was sent to the Ohio Valley Wrestling
(OVW) developmental territory. After four months at OVW, Compton began working as "Dice Domino", teaming with Deuce Shade under the management of his storyline
sister Cherry Pie
, using a 1950s greaser in-ring persona, forming the faction "The Throw-Backs".
During their time together they would undergo an image change, including changing the group's name to "The Untouchables" and dropping Dice, Shade, and Pie from their respective names. On March 19, the team would become OVW Southern Tag Team Champions
after Deuce defeated The Miz
in a singles match after Miz's partner, Chris Cage
, left the organization and forced The Miz to defend the title on his own. The Untouchables lost their titles on April 5, in a three-way match to Roadkill
and Kasey James
, which also involved Kenny and Mikey of the Spirit Squad
. The group soon began a scripted rivalry
with the team of CM Punk
and Seth Skyfire before later engaging into a long and heated rivalry with Sean Spears
and Cody Runnels, which even saw Cherry leave The Untouchables to side with Spears and Runnels briefly before betraying them. The feud culminated in a street fight between the two teams, with Spears and Runnels winning the match.
The Untouchables would go on to win the OVW Tag Team Title another two times, as well as the DSW Tag Team Championship once in October 2006, before being called up to the main WWE roster in January 2007.
In their first match with WWE, where they debuted on the SmackDown! brand, the team's name was changed again, this time to "Deuce 'n Domino
." They debuted on the January 19, 2007 episode, where they were placed in a tag team match, in which Deuce 'n Domino won. On the February 2 episode of SmackDown!, the team defeated the then-WWE Tag Team Champions Paul London and Brian Kendrick
in a non-title match. Deuce 'n Domino faced London and Kendrick in a WWE Tag Team Championship match at February's pay-per-view
event, No Way Out
. At the event, they lost when Kendrick pinned Deuce via a roll-up. On the April 20 episode of SmackDown!, they defeated London and Kendrick for the WWE Tag Team Championship when London was, in storyline, injured after missing a moonsault
to the outside. Kendrick was left to defend the title by himself, and was pinned after being hit with the West Side Stomp, a finishing move performed by Deuce 'n Domino. Three weeks later, London and Kendrick competed against William Regal and Dave Taylor. Deuce 'n Domino interfered, causing Regal
and Taylor to be disqualified. This made both teams number one contenders leading to a triple threat tag team match the following week where Deuce 'n Domino retained the tag title.
During a tag team match with Cryme Tyme
(Shad Gaspard
and Jayson Paul
) in late June, Domino suffered an injury, which was diagnosed as a broken nose and a possible broken orbital bone socket
in his eye. The injury would keep him out of the ring for a month. After coming back from his injury, Deuce 'n Domino engaged in short rivalries with Batista, and Ric Flair
. On the August 31 episode of SmackDown!, he and Deuce lost their tag team championship to Matt Hardy
and the reigning United States Champion
Montel Vontavious Porter. During the last few months of 2007, Deuce 'n Domino had short scripted rivalries with Hardy and MVP, Jimmy Wang Yang and Shannon Moore
, Jesse and Festus
, and Finlay
and Hornswoggle.
At the beginning of 2008, the team suffered a series of losses. At WrestleMania XXIV
in March, Deuce and Domino competed as singles competitors in a 24-man Interpromotional
Battle Royal
, in which the winner would face then ECW Champion Chavo Guerrero
later that night; however, neither was able to win the match. On the May 23 episode of SmackDown, Deuce 'n Domino parted ways with Cherry; WWE Diva
Maryse
would take over as the team's on-screen manager.
On the June 20, 2008 episode of SmackDown, following a loss to Jesse and Festus, their second straight loss in two weeks, Deuce and Domino fought after the match, ending with Deuce laying out Domino with the Crack 'em in da Mouth. Deuce then threw his jacket over Domino, dissolving their partnership. The split was then further cemented when Deuce was drafted to the Raw
brand as part of the 2008 WWE Supplemental Draft. Following the draft, Domino was predominantly featured as an enhancement talent
on SmackDown weekly.
Domino's last television appearance was on the August 1 episode of SmackDown, when he suffered a loss to The Big Show

and Mike Mondo in a three–way match to win the OVW Heavyweight Championship
for the first time. Two months later on March 5, the three faced off for the championship again, this time in a ladder match
, which Mondo won. During the match, Compton suffered a broken ankle, torn ligament
s, and a strained calf muscle. Compton regained the OVW Heavyweight Championship on May 14, when he defeated Mondo in a Brass Knuckles on a Pole match for the vacant championship. He would lose the title to Elvis Pridemoore, following interference from Mondo, just eleven days later. On May 27, Compton organized an OVW benefit show for a murdered 14 year old Trey Zwicker, who would often attend wrestling shows with his father. The show raised $2,000 for the victim's family and was covered by media outlets throughout the city of Louisville.
