Grizzled Young Veterans Quietly Exit NXT As Contracts Expire
The Dyad, formerly known as the Grizzled Young Veterans, have quietly exited WWE NXT as their contracts have expired.
Rip Fowler and Jagger Reid have been known as The Dyad and The Grizzled Young Veterans during their time in WWE. They announced earlier this year that their deals with the promotion are set to expire in October of this year.
However, it appears their deals have come up earlier than previously reported.
During Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer noted that The Dyad’s contracts expired and Rip Fowler and Jagger Reid are now free agents.
“Rip Fowler and Jagger Reid are gone. Their contract is up. I thought there was gonna be some kind of angle or something, but they’re gone.”

In July of 2022 James Drake and Zack Gibson, now under the ring names Jagger Reid and Rip Fowler, officially renamed the tag team “The Dyad” and turning heel once again in NXT, aligning with Joe Gacy to form The Schism.
The original belief was their deal was set to expire in exactly a month from now.
