Johnson subsequently joined his trainer's new stable The Factory alongside Cole Karter, Nick Comoroto, Aaron Solo, and QT Marshall.

At Supercard of Honor, he unsuccessfully challenged Kyle Fletcher for the ROH World Television Championship. In October 2024, Johnson formed a tag team with E. J. Nduka, known as "LEEJ".

On the January 1, 2026 episode of Ring of Honor Wrestling, Johnson and Christian added Jay Lethal to their alliance with the trio going by the name of "The Lethal Twist".
