On November 26, 2013, Scott faced Gabriel Saint for the ESW Interstate Championship but failed to win the title.

TNA/Impact Wrestling (2014–2017)

The Menagerie (2014–2015)

In April 2014, Scott made his debut for Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA) under his Crazzy Steve ring name and became a part of Knux's The Menagerie stable, which also included The Freak and Rebel. On the May 8 episode of Impact Wrestling, The Menagerie made their televised debut with Knux defeating Kazarian in Knux's return match. The following week, Steve fought Kazarian to a no contest after Steve pants'd the referee in his in-ring debut. On June 15, at Slammiversary XII, Steve took part in a 6-way Ladder match for the TNA X Division Championship which was won by Sanada.[5] On the July 17 episode of Impact Wrestling, Steve took part in a Gauntlet Match for the X Division Championship which was won by Austin Aries.

During October and November (taped in July), Steve competed in the new World Title Series tournament as a member of "Group Wildcard", where he finished 4th in the group, failing to win any of the matches that took place the following weeks. At One Night Only: Live!, Steve turned heel when he attacked Tigre Uno after he was eliminated in a match for the X Division Championship.

Decay (2016–2017)

On the January 26, 2016, episode of Impact Wrestling, Steve, Abyss and Rosemary attacked TNA World Tag Team Champions The Wolves and stole their titles, thus forming a new stable called Decay.[6] On March 19, Decay defeated Beer Money, Inc. to win the TNA World Tag Team Championship, marking Steve's first TNA championship. On the May 3 episode of Impact Wrestling, Rosemary spit green mist into his face before Abyss's match with James Storm, giving him the ability to speak for the first time in TNA.[7] The following week on Impact Wrestling, Decay defeated Jeff Hardy and James Storm to retain the titles. At Slammiversary, Decay retained the titles against The BroMans (Robbie E and Jessie Godderz). On October 2 at Bound for Glory, Decay lost the titles to The Broken Hardys in a match dubbed "The Great War." On the October 6 episode of Impact Wrestling, The Broken Hardys defeated Decay in a Wolf Creek Cage Match. On December 15, during special episode Total Nonstop Deletion, Decay competed in Tag Team Apocalypto where The Hardys retained the titles.

On the January 5, 2017, episode of Impact Wrestling, after defeating The Helms Dynasty, Decay's celebration was cut short by the sudden arrival of the Death Crew Council (DCC), who ambushed Decay by smashing beer bottles over their heads, with Bram issuing a threat to Rosemary afterwards.[8] On January 6, at One Night Only: Live, Decay would ambush DCC after James Storm's victory over Jessie Godderz, misting Storm and Bram, incapacitating them while Abyss chokeslammed Kingston.[9] On the January 12 episode of Impact Wrestling, the match between Decay and DCC ended in a double count-out.

On the January 12, 2021 episode of Impact!, Steve prevented Kaleb with a K from interfering in his former ally Rosemary's match against Tenille Dashwood, which allowed Rosemary to win the match, thus marking a reunion of Decay.[22] This led to Decay reuniting at the Hard To Kill pay-per-view and winning against Dashwood and Kaleb in an intergender tag team match.[23] On July 31, at Homecoming, Steve teamed with Rosemary to compete in a tournament to crown a Homecoming King and Queen. They defeated Fallah Bahh and Tasha Steelz in the first round, Tommy Dreamer and Rachael Ellering in the semifinals, but lost to Deonna Purrazzo and Matthew Rehwoldt in the final.[24] In October, Steve entered a tournament to determine the inaugural Impact Digital Media Champion, where he defeated Hernandez in the first round but lost to Jordynne Grace in the final at Bound for Glory.[25][26]

On the August 31, 2023, episode of Impact!, Steve attacked the referee during a match with Mike Bailey, turning heel in the process. He then attempted to attack Bailey with a fork only to be stopped by Taurus in whom Steve attacked, ending Decay.[27] This led to a match at Victory Road, where Steve defeated Taurus.[28][29] During Impact 1000, Steve won the Feast or Fired briefcase containing a title opportunity for the Digital Media Championship. On January 13, 2024, at Hard To Kill, he defeated Tommy Dreamer to win the Digital Media Championship.[30][31]
