The Deaners (2018–2020)

On March 9, 2018, at the Last Chancery event that featured Impact Wrestling and Border City Wrestling wrestlers, Doyle, now known as Jake Deaner, formed a tag team with Cody Deaner called The Deaners, losing to Desi Hit Squad (Gursinder Singh and Rohit Raju). In April 2019, he officially signed a contract with Impact Wrestling. Later that month, vignettes began airing of The Deaners on their farm called The Deaner Compound. The Deaners made their ''Impact!'' debut on the April 26 episode, defeating Idris Abraham and Joe Coleman. The following month, his ring name was changed to Cousin Jake. At Bound for Glory, Jake took part in the Call Your Shot Gauntlet match, where the winner could choose any championship match of their choice, which was won by Eddie Edwards. On the May 26, 2020 episode of ''Impact!'', The Deaners failed to win the Impact World Tag Team Championship from The North ( Ethan Page and Josh Alexander) at The Deaner Compound. On the Countdown to Bound for Glory, The Deaners defeated The Rascalz ( Dez and Wentz).

At Turning Point, Jake and Cody were attacked by Eric Young and Joe Doering. During the following weeks, The Deaners feuded with Young and Doering and this resulted in a match between Cody and Young on the December 8 episode of ''Impact!'', which Young won. At Final Resolution, Cody attacked Jake during a match between Rhino and Young, thus ending The Deaners tag team.

Singles competition (2020–2022)

Jake then began a feud with Violent By Design, a stable that Cody, now known as Deaner, joined. At Hard To Kill on January 16, 2021, Jake teamed with Rhino and Tommy Dreamer in a loss to Violent By Design in an Old School Rules match. Cousin Jake would change his ring name to Jake Something and defeated Deaner in a singles match at No Surrender and in a tables match on the February 23 episode of ''Impact!''.

On the August 5 episode of ''Impact!'', Something defeated Trey Miguel, Daivari, and Rohit Raju in a four-way match to become the number one contender to the Impact X Division Championship. At Emergence, Something received his championship match against Josh Alexander, where he was unsuccessful in capturing the title. On September 18 at Victory Road, Something competed in a five-way scramble match to determine the number one contender to the X Division Championship, which was won by Laredo Kid. On November 17, he participated in a number one contenders match to the Impact Digital Media Championship, which was won by Chelsea Green.

On January 8, 2022, Something defeated Madman Fulton on the Countdown to Hard To Kill pre-show.
