In 2011, WWE announced that DeMott would return to the company to perform as the head trainer on the revived "Tough Enough" series. Following the conclusion of "Tough Enough", DeMott replaced Tom Prichard as the head trainer for the Florida Championship Wrestling developmental territory on June 2, 2012. After FCW was rebranded into NXT, DeMott retained his position as the head trainer, and continued in that role when the WWE Performance Center was opened in 2013. He was featured as a trainer in the "WWE 2K15" video game.
