Rhodes then moved on to World League Wrestling (WLW) and Harley Race's Training Camp in 1999 and began his wrestling career in WLW. On April 11, 2000, Rhodes won the WLW World Championship by defeating Meng. He then made a name for himself as part of The Dupps, a hillbilly tag team consisting of kayfabe brothers Stan Dupp (Rhodes) and Bo Dupp. As a team, The Dupps wrestled in both Ohio Valley Wrestling (OVW) and Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA). While in OVW, Rhodes teamed with Lance Cade under his real name. The team was known as TNT. Rhodes signed WWE development deal in June 2005.
On August 22, 2005 a promo was shown showcasing Rhodes' debut along with the returning Lance Cade.

Lance Cade and Trevor Murdoch after winning the World Tag Team Championship at Unforgiven 2005.Cade and Murdoch won their debut match on the on September 5, 2005 episode of RAW. They defeated World Tag Team Champions, Hurricane and Rosey in a non-title match earning themself a title match at Unforgiven 2005. During the title match, Murdoch delivered an Elevated DDT on The Hurricane to the outside. According to storyline, the DDT caused Hurricane to suffer a "stinger" This allowed Cade & and Murdoch to defeat The Hurricane and Rosey to win the World Tag Team Championships. They would eventually lose their titles at Taboo Tuesday 2005 to The Big Show and Kane.
On November 28, 2005 during his match against Shelton Benjamin, commentator Joey Styles acknowledged that Murdoch and Lance Cade were no longer a tag team. It was revealed on WWE Unlimited, that Trevor Murdoch set his sights on Ric Flair and the WWE Intercontinental Championship. On Unlimited, Murdoch had been reviewing movies that were at the time, currently playing in theaters, such as Brokeback Mountain, King Kong, and Hostel. The first two movie reviews displayed various sexual habits, while the third showed cruelty in his past. The underlying point of all the reviews that Murdoch was trying to convey is that he believes 'city folk' have quite an easy life, as opposed to his.
After breaking up with Cade, he would move on to wrestle in singles competition on HEAT, normally winning most of his matches while still making small appearances on RAW. He would also have a short feud with The Heart Throbs on HEAT which involved him defeating both of them in singles action and gaining a spot in the 2006 Royal Rumble. He competed in the 2006 Royal Rumble despite not winning it.
He would then move on to a short feud with Goldust but was unsuccessful in beating him and ended up feuding with both Goldust and his tag partner Snitsky. This lead to him helping former partner Cade win his matches and hinted at the two of them reforming their team.
Cade and Murdoch would later reform their tag team, and Cade now had a new look with long jet black wet hair. On the September 4th edition of RAW, Murdoch and Cade would lose a Number 1 Contenders match for the World Tag Team Titles for Unforgiven 2006. The Highlanders won the match when they pinned Charlie Haas who was with Viscera. Murdoch and Lance Cade then joined forces with Edge to oppose D-Generation X (Triple H and Shawn Michaels).
