Even though he enjoyed popularity as Tye Dillinger in WWE with the “Perfect Ten” gimmick, the company released him in 2019. He had an enjoyable run in NXT before coming to the main roster and his eventual exit from the WWE. He then joined AEW in 2019 and began a feud with Cody Rhodes after hitting him with a brutal chair shot at Fyter Fest.

Going by the name Shawn Spears, he gave himself the moniker of ‘The Chairman of AEW’. He lost to Cody Rhodes at the All Out pay-per-view but remained a thorn in the side of the Rhodes family. Afterward, he aligned himself with the legendary Tully Blanchard and the tag team FTR as they joined MJF to form The Pinnacle.
