Murdoch signed with WWE in 2005 and spent the majority of his run in the tag division. Alongside the late Lance Cade, Murdoch would enjoy three reigns as WWE World Tag Team Champion. The "Redneck Wrecking Crew" battled the likes of D-Generation X and The Hardy Boyz before Cade betrayed Murdoch in 2008. Initially during their run, Cade and Murdoch found it hard to get noticed by WWE management, despite having good matches. Ric Flair noticed their talents and knew that Shawn Michaels had trained Cade. This, as Murdoch told Inside The Ropes, led to The Nature Boy berating HBK to get Cade and Murdoch a bigger spot on the card: "Lance and I watched Ric go over and chew Shawn’s a** about us because he was telling him, you’ve got to stand up for those guys. You’ve got to speak up for those guys. Those guys are going out there busting their ass and no one in the office is paying attention. If you don’t fight for those guys, nobody else will." Murdoch said This, Murdoch said, led the former WWE Champion to step up for the young tag team behind the scenes.

I am not saying that Shawn needed to be goaded into that situation…but sometimes people mess up," he added.

The Scottish Supernova said that Michaels has helped him deepen his character and has been a good influence on him personally: I was lucky to work, and still do work with Shawn, on quite a lot of stuff, especially when I first arrived to NXT UK. He's really helped add a lot more, kind of depth and substance to me as a performer - and on a personal level has really helped me step up where I need to step up," said Dar.
