SmackDown, various feuds (2020-2022)

After a few years on the independent scene, Tony Quinn would make his WWE debut on the Post-SummerSlam episode of SmackDown in August of 2020, defeating Angel Garza, and defeating his cousin Humberto Carrillo the following week. He would soon enter a feud with Happy Corbin, after numerous ambushes and attacks by the latter. They would face each other at Hell in a Cell in October, where Quinn would be defeated by Corbin. On the following episode of SmackDown, he would be unsuccessful in earning a spot on the Men's Survivor Series Team, being pinned by Big E in a four-way contest. He would then receive an opportunity at the Intercontinental Championship, being defeated by the champion WALTER on the New Year's Evil episode of SmackDown in January of 2021. He would then enter the 2021 Royal Rumble, being the 7th entrant, eliminating two competitors before being eliminated himself by Cesaro. Following WrestleMania 37, Quinn would qualify for the Money in the Bank Ladder Match, a match that would be won by Kevin Owens.

Intercontinental Champion (2021-2022)

After being by the Universal Champion Roman Reigns in a championship match in September on SmackDown, he would brutally assault the Intercontinental Champion Cesaro the following week on SmackDown, turning heel in the process. On the go-home episode of SmackDown before Survivor Series, he would defeat Cesaro to capture the championship and would defeat the U.S. Champion from Raw, Rey Mysterio. He would successfully defend the title against Cesaro on the New Year's Evil episode of SmackDown in January of 2022, also defeating Cesaro in an Extreme Rules Match at the Royal Rumble, ending their feud. He would then enter the 2022 Royal Rumble later that night, being the 13th entrant, eliminating three competitors before being eliminated himself by Karrion Kross.
