In August 2023, Sheamus suffered a shoulder injury and three months later in November, Holland walked out on Butch during a tag team match, ending the group in the process.

On the November 19 episode of SmackDown, Holland helped Sheamus defeat Cesaro, Ricochet, and Jinder Mahal in a four-way match, starting an alliance between the two.

[4] At Clash at the Castle, Sheamus lost to Gunther, but received a standing ovation from the Cardiff crowd in a critically acclaimed 5-star match according to Dave Meltzer's Wrestling Observer Newsletter, cementing the stable's face turn.

Four days later at Extreme Rules, The Brawling Brutes defeated Imperium in a six-man tag team Good Old Fashioned Donnybrook match.

After defeating The Bloodline's Sami Zayn and Solo Sikoa in a tag team match, Holland and Butch received another opportunity against The Usos at Crown Jewel where they failed to win the titles.

WWE Official Adam Pearce appeared and announced that Gunther would defend his championship against both men in a triple threat match at the event.

Butch made an alliance with former British Strong Style stablemate Tyler Bate to fight Joe Coffey's group Gallus.
