On the January 13, 2006, episode of "SmackDown!", Angle and Daivari were drafted to "SmackDown!", where Angle won the World Heavyweight Championship that same night. Angle later revealed that his contract on "Raw" had expired, which allowed them to switch brands. Angle was already signed to face Shawn Michaels on "Raw", however this non-title match went ahead, but Daivari would accidentally cost Angle the match against Michaels. Afterwards, Daivari and Angle argued, but when Daivari slapped Angle, he was "Angle Slammed" over the ropes and down to the floor on the outside of the ring. During the break, on WWE.com "Unlimited", an enraged Angle made it known that Daivari's services were no longer needed.
