Professional wrestling career
= Early career (2015–2016)
=Blauvelt was trained by the Santinos Bros Academy in Bell Gardens, California, and debuted in 2015. He began to work under the ring name Brody King as a tribute to both Bruiser Brody and Brodie Lee. In 2016, he participated in the All Pro Wrestling' Young Lions Cup, winning the tournament.
= Major League Wrestling (2017–2018)
=King made his debut for Major League Wrestling (MLW) at their Never Say Never show on December 12, 2017, losing to Montel Vontavious Porter (MVP). Three months later, he would be eliminated in the first round of the MLW World Heavyweight Championship tournament by Shane Strickland. Then he would participate in the 40-man Battle Riot match, where he would be eliminated. On September 6, 2018, King wrestled his first match against PCO in MLW. The match resulted in a brawl and a double disqualification after around five minutes.

=In 2018, he made his debut for Pro Wrestling Guerilla (PWG) at Neon Knights, losing to Adam Brooks. At Time Is A Flat Circle he defeated Douglas James, Eli Everfly and Jake Atlas in a Fatal-4-Way match. He received a title shot against then-champion Walter at Threemendous V which he lost, but his performance was highly praised. He participated in the 2018 Battle of Los Angeles tournament where he defeated PCO in the first round, but was defeated by Trevor Lee in the second round. At their following event he lost to Timothy Thatcher. Brody King wrestled next for PWG at their January 18, 2019, show Hand of Doom. He defeated Jungle Boy at the event.
On August 31, 2018, at All American Wrestling's AAW Defining Moment 2018 King won the AAW Heavyweight Championship from A. C. H.. He would successfully defend the title against Pentagon Jr. and Eddie Kingston before losing the title to Sami Callihan on December 29, 2018. On November 16 and 17 King appeared on two Game Changer Wrestling (GCW) events. The first night he defeated Hardcore Holly and the second night he lost a GCW Heavyweight Championship match against Nick Gage. In November 2018, King allied with Marty Scurll during a World Series Wrestling's tour, forming a tag team known as Villain Enterprises. They would win the WSW Tag Team Championship during that same tour. His last match of 2018 would be for Suburban Fight Pro against Darby Allin.
Along with PCO, King participated in the 2019 Crockett Cup tournament. King and PCO defeated Royce Isaacs and Thomas Laitmer in the finals to win the cup and the vacant NWA World Tag Team Championship.

=On December 1, 2018, King signed an exclusive deal with Ring of Honor. He debuted for ROH at the December 15 tapings, forming Villain Enterprises with Scurll and PCO. King and PCO would then go on to win the 2019 ROH Tag Wars Tournament, and on March 15, they defeated The Briscoe Brothers in a Las Vegas street fight to win the ROH World Tag Team Championship at the ROH 17th Anniversary Show. The following night, King, PCO, and Scurll defeated The Kingdom for the ROH World Six-Man Tag Team Championship during the Ring of Honor Wrestling tapings. This made King a double champion in ROH within a 24 hour span. PCO and King would lose the ROH Tag Team Titles to Guerrillas of Destiny in a Fatal 4 Way match also involving Los Ingobernables de Japón (EVIL and Sanada) and The Briscoes at G1 Supercard. On January 11, 2020, Villain Enterprises would lose the Six Man Titles to MexiSquad (Bandido, Flamita, and Rey Horus). Villain Enterprises would quietly disband after this due to the COVID-19 pandemic and Scurll's departure from Ring of Honor after allegations during the Speaking Out movement as King and PCO both began focusing on singles competition. At Final Battle, King received a ROH World Championship match against Rush but was defeated after interference from La Bestia del Ring who struck him with a steel chair. On March 26, 2021, at ROH 19th Anniversary Show, King would unveil a new faction called Violence Unlimited consisting of Tony Deppen, Chris Dickinson, and Homicide as they attacked La Faccion Ingobernable.

Other work
= Music
=King is the lead vocalist of the hardcore punk band God's Hate. Having long been involved in the Los Angeles hardcore scene, King founded the band alongside guitarist, drummer and backing vocalist Colin Young of Twitching Tongues, at the same time as King began wrestling. The pair then recruited fellow Twitching Tongues members Cayle Sain (drums) and Leopold Orozco (bass) as well as Anthonie Gonzalez of Constrict (guitar). This lineup recorded their debut EP Divine Injustice, which was released in 2014 through Closed Casket Activities. The following year, Orozco and Gonzalez swapped roles and the band released their second EP Father Inferior. The band's debut album Mass Murder was then released in 2016. This was followed by a period of inactivity as King focused on his wrestling career. During this time, various lineup changes took place within the band as they recorded tracks for a subsequent album. In 2021, the band's hiatus ended, now featuring King, Colin Young and Orozco alongside Martin Stewart of Terror on guitar, Alec Faber of Twitching Tongues on bass and Taylor Young of Nails and Twitching Tongues on guitar. That same year, they released their second album God's Hate.
= Acting
=King had a role in the 2020 short film Heel, written by and starring fellow wrestler Ryan Nemeth. In 2021, he played a crazed professional wrestler called Mike "The Rock" Davis in an episode of the Netflix sketch comedy series I Think You Should Leave with Tim Robinson.
