The competition attracted thousands of applicants from across the , with 13 contestants selected to participate in the reality series offering a $1,000,000 contract as the top prize. Filming occurred in , near , beginning in October 2004 under the guidance of trainer . The season featured a series of intense physical and mental challenges to evaluate the contestants' potential as professional wrestlers, including wrestling technique drills, promo-cutting exercises, endurance tests like taking bodyslams from , and unconventional tasks such as the "Torrie Wilson Sex Test" to assess composure under pressure. Mitchell was highlighted for his athleticism, positioning him as a raw athlete adapting to the demands of wrestling. He partnered with fellow contestant , an MMA practitioner, during group challenges that emphasized teamwork and resilience, such as shared endurance workouts. Mitchell was the first contestant eliminated after struggling in early evaluations. Despite his early elimination, Mitchell was awarded a WWE developmental contract in late 2004, alongside other finalists including winner (who secured the $1,000,000 prize by defeating Mike Mizanin in the final "Dixie Dog Fight" boxing match at the December 12, 2004, pay-per-view event), Ryan Reeves, and Mike Mizanin. Following the award, Mitchell commenced initial wrestling training at 's facility and relocated to the developmental territory in , to begin his professional preparation.

Developmental territories (2004–2006)

Following his participation in the 2004 season of WWE's Tough Enough competition, where he finished as a finalist, Nick Mitchell signed a developmental contract with World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) and was assigned to its new Deep South Wrestling (DSW) territory in late 2004. There, he debuted under the ring name "Big Time" Nick Mitchell, incorporating an initial gimmick that featured awkward, seizure-like dancing during entrances to emphasize his overconfident persona. Mitchell wrestled primarily in singles and tag team matches, often partnering with fellow developmental talent Ryan Reeves against established competitors. Under the guidance of head trainer at DSW's facility, Mitchell underwent intensive daily training focused on fundamentals like mat work and conditioning, though the environment was marked by physical intensity and reported incidents of . Notable bouts included a singles victory over veteran on September 29, , showcasing improved athleticism with high-spring legwork, and a loss to on September 15, , which highlighted his ongoing development in striking and submission defense. Tag team losses to duos like the (Mike and Todd Shane) throughout late further tested his teamwork and resilience against power-based opponents. In early 2006, following an alleged training injury involving DeMott that targeted his ankle, Mitchell was transferred to WWE's other developmental promotion, (OVW) in , where he shortened his ring name to simply "Mitch." At OVW, he continued in multi-man tag matches, such as a February 8, 2006, win as part of a five-on-five elimination bout alongside future members Ken Doane, , , and Nick Nemeth against a team led by Danny Inferno. His performances, including consistent showings in OVW's weekly TV tapings, drew positive internal evaluations for his physical presence and adaptability, positioning him for potential main roster advancement by mid-2006. The developmental phase presented significant lifestyle challenges, including frequent van travel between Georgia-based DSW house shows and OVW events, often spanning hundreds of miles weekly on a modest contract salary that required wrestlers to cover their own lodging and meals. This grueling schedule, combined with the pressure of proving oneself in a competitive environment, contributed to financial and physical strain for talents like Mitchell navigating the system.

Spirit Squad (2006–2007)

In early 2006, the —a male comprising Kenny (Ken Dykstra), Johnny (), Mikey (), Mitch (Nick Mitchell), and Nicky (Nick Nemeth)—was formed from talents in WWE's developmental system and called up to the brand.

They interfered in Michaels' matches, including a handicap steel cage bout on the March 13, 2006, episode of where the full squad overwhelmed him until Shane McMahon's involvement sealed the victory. This led to further confrontations with (DX), culminating in a five-on-two elimination match at on June 25, 2006, where DX ( and ) defeated the entire group. The stable also clashed with , attempting to disrupt his defenses, and later factored into Ric Flair's orbit through tag team challenges, though their core role remained tied to McMahon's agenda of humiliating top babyfaces. As a tag team, the —primarily represented by Kenny and Mikey—achieved significant success by capturing the World Tag Team Championship on April 3, 2006, defeating in a match on . They held the titles for 215 days, defending them against various challengers, such as retaining against The Highlanders in a chaotic five-on-two match at on September 17, 2006, where the full squad's interference proved decisive. The reign ended on November 5, 2006, at Cyber Sunday, when and upset Kenny and Mikey in a fan-voted match to claim the championships. Mitchell, performing as Mitch, received limited individual spotlight within the group, mostly participating in multi-man matches and comedic segments rather than prominent singles competition. Injury angles accelerated the stable's decline, notably when "maimed" the squad in late 2006 skits, packing them into a crate and shipping them back to , which symbolized their demotion. The group gradually disbanded by late 2006, with remaining members transitioning to solo roles or dark matches. Mitchell was released from his contract on May 18, 2007.
