Strong has been a part of the faction Diamond Mine faction in NXT since June 22, 2021, when he returned to the company. He held the NXT Cruiserweight Championship from September 21 through January 4 of this year, where he lost to Carmelo Hayes in a title unification match of the Cruiserweight and North American Championships.
Before Diamond Mine, Strong was a part of The Undisputed Era, which consisted of himself, Adam Cole, Kyle O’Reilly, and Bobby Fish. After the group disbanded, Cole, O’Reilly, and Bobby Fish would sign with AEW.

Editor’s Opinion:
Does this come as a surprise to anybody? My only follow-up question will be how long it takes for him to show up in AEW. Reuniting with the rest of The Undisputed Era only makes sense and should lead to a mega feud between them and The Elite. Time will tell if this will happen, but I would love to see it!
