On August 17, 2017, at Destination X: Impact, Konley would interfere on behalf of Trevor Lee in the X Division Championship match against Sonjay Dutt, forming an alliance and turning heel in the process.[12] In the coming weeks, Konley would go on to change his attire to simple black trunks, mirroring Trevor Lee's look. On the October 5 episode of Impact!, Konley, Lee and Andrew Everett would face Sonjay Dutt, Petey Williams, and Matt Sydal in a losing effort in a six-man tag team match.[13] On January 1, 2019, Trevor Lee left Impact Wrestling, disbanding the team.[14] On January 26, 2019, his profile was moved to the alumni section. On March 1, 2019, Konley announced on his Twitter that he had officially become a free agent.[15]

On the September 8, 2020, episode of Impact, Konley made his return to Impact under the name Kaleb with a K debuting a new gimmick of Tenille Dashwood's personal photographer.[16][17] On April 14, 2022, Konley announced his departure from Impact Wrestling.[18][19]
