On the October 5 episode of Impact!, Konley, Lee and Andrew Everett would face Sonjay Dutt, Petey Williams, and Matt Sydal in a losing effort in a six-man tag team match.[11] On January 1, 2019, Trevor Lee left Impact Wrestling, disbanding the team.[12] On January 26, 2019, his profile was moved to the alumni section. On March 1, 2019, Konley announced on his Twitter that he had officially become a free agent.[13]
