Holliday was also booked as an enhancement talent by All Elite Wrestling in November 2024 and him being attacked post-match by Dralistico resulted in heat for La Faccion Ingobernable.
In 2026, Richard Holliday has performed on the indies for the likes of OVW, Gotham Wrestling, and Reality of Wrestling. He is also the reigning NWA Midwest Champion.
