After Jordan made ​​his professional debut in 2000, he began in 2002 to work for the WWE, where he was active in the SmackDown roster. For one evening, he was WWE Champion ( as John " JBL " Layfield was unable to fight that night ) when he should defend the title against the Undertaker. The match ended in a Disqualifikationssieg against Orlando Jordan, so he passed the title back to JBL. Thus he became a member of John Bradshaw Layfields Stables The Cabinet. Here he acted as Chief of Staff (the one who manages, among others, the employees ) and helped Layfield often to win the match. In a reverse manner, ie by using Layfield, Jordan was able to win on 3 March 2005 for the WWE United States Championship from John Cena.
