CWF[]
Not long afterwards he got an offer from Anthony Romeri, the owner of the CWF. He joined and was put in a dark match against Hollyood's Most Wanted. According to sources, the match didn't even last five minutes as Devlyn destroyed him. His on screen debut came in the form of a triple threat, non title match against Judgment and Mental Jack where Judgment was pinned.

He pinned Judgement on the latest addition of CWF Ignition after hitting the Devil's Wrath, he was set to face Mental Jack and VND on the last addition of CWF Ignition but Matt Frazier, his opponent at No Man's Land, knocked him out before Devlyn could even make his entrance taking him out off the match, he is looking for revenge at No Man's Land where he'll introduce his brother David (AKA Discyple) for his match. The match was successful for the Irishman as he pined Frazier after interfearence from Discyple and he is know set to feud with The Janitor, reportibly when Devlyn was told off the Janitor charictor he gave Romeri an odd look before blurting out "seriosly what's his gimmick" and when told that he was set to feud with Janitor Discyple gave him an odd look before saying "you mean to tell me that the first fued I'm going to be apart off is against someone with a ridiculas but orrigenal gimick? I thought his was CWF not WWE!" the comment was a joke off course and Romeri was quick to realise it. At the same time he is set to face Bay-B Dogg and The Boss in a tripple threat non title match at the upcoming addition off CWF Ignition. Bay B Dogg no showed the event (and got fired) and Devlyn lost the match afterwhich he was attacked by Janitor, the following week he lost to Mental jack in a close match after interfearence from Janitor. Discyple, who was waiting in the wings for Janitor, tried to ambush him but got detained by the refs, this week he is set to face Josh Samuels but with Josh's release the match is expected to be a squash.
The match against Samuels was canceled due to Josh's firing, however that didn't stop the maverick from turning up, however Devlyn beet him up finishing him off with the "Flight Of The Souless Angel".
