When the Good Brothers joined WWE in 2016 along with their Bullet Club stablemate AJ Styles, virtually everyone expected them to instantly become a dominant force in the tag division. Though they won the RAW Tag Team Championships on two occasions, the Good Brothers never really became main event acts.

The Good Brothers wanted to leave the company to leave on more than one occasion, but they inked a new contract in 2019. As a result, their release in April 2020 came as a shock. The duo blamed Paul Heyman as the reason for their departure from the company. The two stars made that abundantly clear on their Talk'n Shop podcast.

“Apparently, he thought we were making too much money for what we were doing, and he’s a f–ing liar and he’s a piece of s---."

The duo did not mince words, and they put the blame squarely on Heyman. While the Good Brothers seemed to agree it was Vince McMahon who made the last call, they believe that Heyman initiated the conversation about cutting them from the roster.
