The Dyad comprising of Jagger Reid and Rip Fowler are seemingly departing WWE. They have been one of the mainstays of NXT as part of “The Schism” faction, alongside Joe Gacy and Ava Raine. They defeated the Creed Brothers in a “Loser Leaves NXT” match and have challenged for the “NXT” Tag Team Championship on multiple occasions.
They announced earlier this year that their contracts were due to expire in October, while also confirming that WWE had denied them an early release from their contracts.
The duo confirmed that their contracts were coming up, they said they were looking forward to the end of their tenures and being free agents. Jagger Reid posted on Twitter: “My contract with WWE expires on 14th October 2023. I’m excited to share our next chapter, once we are free agents.”
Fowler tweeted much the same, saying: “On 15th Oct ’23 we will be free agents again. I personally want to thank all of our fans for your continued support, it means a lot to both of us especially during times like these! We’ll see you on the 16th!”
Recently, Wrestling Observer Newsletter reported that the belief is that The Dyad are still planning to leave at the end of their contracts. Nothing has been confirmed on this end but it was speculated that they will circle back to their feud with the Creeds via another “Loser Leaves NXT” match. Reid and Fowler, known before as James Drake and Zack Gibson respectively, are former champions within WWE, having won the NXT UK Tag Team Championship.
