** His appearance in AEW could also be considered this. While it was known that Strong asked for his release from WWE after the Cole-Fish-O'Reilly trio that formed Wrestling/TheUndisputedEra reunited in AEW and said request was rejected, Strong just kind of stopped appearing on WWE television altogether without much fanfare, while at the same time Fish left AEW and both O'Reilly and Cole went down in injuries, meaning that even the hype for a full-on UE reunion died down. In fact, by the time Strong did appear in AEW, it wasn't even known that he had been released from WWE in the first place or at which date it happened, with reports indicating that WWE apparently went out of their way to not inform anyone of his release.
