After completing his military service, Bravo transitioned into professional wrestling and began training at the Nightmare Factory operated by Cody Rhodes and QT Marshall in 2020. Bravo made his official professional wrestling debut on August 1, 2020 for Pro South Wrestling losing a Beat The Clock Challenge to Tyler Cullprett.[9][10] In 2021, Bravo made his debut for All Elite Wrestling (AEW) on the February 9 episode of AEW Dark, teaming with Shawn Dean in a losing effort to Peter Avalon and Cezar Bononi.[11] Throughout 2021 and 2022, Bravo would team on and off with Dean on AEW Dark, failing to score a single win as a team.[12][13][14][15]

In 2023, Bravo and Dean, now known as The Infantry, debuted in Ring of Honor on the inaugural episode of ROH on Honor Club on March 3, losing to The Kingdom. On the June 22 episode of ROH on Honor Club, The Infantry earned their first win as a team when they defeated The Kingdom thanks to help from Trish Adora who stopped Maria Kanellis from interfering in the match. With this, Adora became the third member of The Infantry. On the July 6 episode of ROH, The Infantry fought The Kingdom and Leyla Hirsch in a six person tag team match, where they were defeated. On the September 21 episode of ROH, Bravo and Dean teamed with Willie Mack to challenge for the ROH World Six Man Tag Team Titles against Brian Cage, Bishop Kaun and Toa Liona of Mogul Embassy but were unsuccessful in capturing the titles.[16][17][18][19] On the March 9, 2024 episode of AEW Collision, The Infantry interrupted FTR and teased the possibility of facing FTR in the tournament for the vacant AEW World Tag Team Titles as both teams shook hands and showed respect to one another. The following week on Collision, The Infantry defeated Brody King and Buddy Matthews of House of Black thanks to help from Mark Briscoe, earning their first televised win as a team and qualifying for the AEW World Tag Team Title tournament. They fought FTR in the quarter-finals of the tournament on the March 30th episode of Collision but were defeated.[20][21]

At Supercard of Honor, The Infantry took on The Undisputed Kingdom (Matt Taven and Mike Bennett) for the ROH World Tag Team Championship but were unsuccessful.[22]
