Jericho asks about the terms under which the Dudleys departed, mentioning that they were lumped in with the massive group of talent that was announced on WWE.com as being released. The day was labeled Black Friday due to so many people losing their jobs, and Bubba says it was a misconception for them to be included with that group. The team was in the midst of negotiations for a new contract at the time, and there were a few things that both sides couldn't agree on so they decided not to re-sign a new deal and test the waters elsewhere. Bubba says the fact that they were named along with guys like Rosey and Chuck Palumbo as being released by the company led to "a spirited conversation with Johnny Ace."
