Brodus Clay was reportedly hesitant about doing his new gimmick at first. The "Road Dogg" BG James has been working with him on it prior to live events and TV tapings. Clay wanted to be a monster heel, like originally planned.
Prior to becoming a professional wrestler, Murdoch worked as a bodyguard for Snoop Dogg.
Murdoch made his motion picture debut in a supporting role as Ethan in the upcoming WWE Studios horror movie titled No One Lives.
After a three month absence due to the filming of No One Lives, Clay reappeared on the August 4, 2011 episode of Superstars, where he defeated Pat Silva. During the next few weeks, Clay would continue to squash various jobbers on Superstars.
After nine consecutive squash victories on Superstars, WWE ran vignettes promoting his return to television on the November 7, 2011 episode of Raw. However, Clay's television return was continuously delayed by authority figure John Laurinaitis to be "next week", with this trend continuing all the way into January 2012.
Clay made his television return on the January 9, 2012 episode of Raw with a fun-loving, funk dancing gimmick, with the nickname "Funkasaurus". Now accompanied by the Funkettes Naomi and Cameron and announced as hailing from "Planet Funk", Clay incorporated gyrations and dance moves into his various squash wins on both Raw and SmackDown. At the Royal Rumble event, Clay squashed Drew McIntyre
