Strong seemingly ditched the gimmick at the beginning of 2024, as he transitioned into a more serious role with the Undisputed Kingdom faction.

While speaking to Alicia Atout for a new interview, Strong said that he wore the same neck brace for every segment during the era.

“The funny thing, too, as much as I wore it, it still doesn’t stink. That’s what I find funny. [It was the same one] every single time. It smells like roses. [Atout says you’d think it would smell horrible] Yeah, and especially because I wore it after I wrestled, just sweaty neck juice in there, but no, I guess I got lucky [laughs] It’s disgusting also."

Elsewhere in the interview, Strong said that he was confident that the Undisputed Kingdom's plan would work out. Fans can learn more here.
