It was during that segment that their infamous “tie choke” moment took place. Roberts was strangled with his own tie by Bryan. However, Bryan had to pay a price for it as well. WWE released Bryan soon after this incident, as they felt it was too violent for their TV-PG programming. But WWE rehired him two months later.
