Dyeing for Your Art: He bleached his hair blond for a gimmick change to 'Joshua Kingsley' before he was eventually released.
Role-Ending Misdemeanor: He was fired for a promo after a dark match in which he called the audience "cocky pricks".note While at the time some reacted to it as a Disproportionate Retribution, given a couple of the other transgressions of his that came out later (such as a sex tape involving Paige and Xavier Woods), one must wonder if there were other things WWE knew about and this was just the straw that broke the camel's back.
