The formerly known as The Dyad have not left WWE just yet.
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.
Despite this, reports surfaced last month that they had already exited the company. This turns out not to be the case, as reported by Fightful Select.
Though it was recently reported that the former Dyad were already free agents, they aren’t technically free and clear just quite yet. Though they did appear to finish up with WWE, sources in the company said that the team’s contracts actually still expire in mid-October. The duo are expected to officially leave the company at that point. Rip Fowler and Jagger Reid, also known as Zack Gibson and James Drake asked for their releases earlier this year, but had them rejected by WWE. We’ll work to learn more details, but as we’ve heard things, the contracts are actually set to officially expire on October 14. They were not let go as a part of the recent WWE releases

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.
We will have to wait and see what comes next for the former tag team champions.
