In 2024, Connors formed a tag team with Kale Dixon. In early 2025, they became involved in a storyline with Andre Chase leading to the reformation of the Chase University stable. On the 22 April 2025 episode of NXT, Chase University was reformed with Connors and Dixon.[8]

On the 3 February 2026 episode of NXT, Connors turned heel after walking out on Chase University and joining Lexis King, Channing "Stacks" Lorenzo, Arianna Grace, and Charlie Dempsey. The group later became known as BirthRight, which consists of second generation WWE wrestlers–Connors as the son of Fit Finlay; King as the son of Brian Pillman; Lorenzo as the fiancé of Grace, who is the daughter of Santino Marrella; and Dempsey as the son of William Regal.[9] At the NXT Stand & Deliver countdown show on April 4, BirthRight teamed together for the first time where they lost to Hank and Tank, Shiloh Hill, EK Prosper, and Wren Sinclair in a 10-person mixed tag team match.[10]
