On August 2, Big Time Wrestling announced that Morrissey (now known as Big Cazz) would make his wrestling return after the 90-day no-compete clause in his WWE contract expired on September 21. His first appearance occurred at a BTW match on October 5, cutting a promo, and hostilely addressing the fans, thus cementing him as a heel. On December 1, Big Cass participated in a House of Hardcore match under the name Big Ca$$, briefly losing to MVP. He made an appearance at House of Hardcore 52 on December 8 and ended with a seizure because of issues with personal health.
On April 6, 2019, Morrissey and partner Enzo Amore appeared at a G1 Supercard at Madison Square Garden. The two assaulted tag team wrestlers during an ROH and New Japan Pro-Wrestling bout. It was later revealed that the incident was the result of a shoot and the duo was never booked for any following shows.
On June 15, 2019, Morrissey made his debut with Northeast Wrestling (NEW), which was accompanied by Arndt, who had now changed her ring name to now. With a hand-picked roster, Caz issued an open challenge for anyone on the roster and fought Jon Moxley in the main-event match and lost. Morrissey returned to action on September 22, 2019, at SWE Clash in Canton.
