on the WWE Raw brand. During this time, Mitchell appeared numerous times as a television extra for World Wrestling Entertainment on all three of their televised shows. His time in FCW was very brief, however, as the contract dispute between Mitchell and Marti Funk resulted in his contract being cancelled by WWE on July 30, 2008. NWA East Mitchell has since been a mainstay on the US northern indy scene. On September 26, 2009, Mitchell wrestled NWA National Heavyweight Champion Phill Shatter at NWA East's 15th Anniversary Show, in a losing effort. However, he would go on to defeat Dash Bennett for the NWA East Three Rivers Championship in McKeesport, Pennsylvania on January 30, 2010. He followed this up three days later at RWA Uprising II with a victory over Sterling James Keenan in a 30-minute Iron Man match to win the RWA Heavyweight Championship. World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) Mitchell recently wrestled on an episode of WWE Superstars in a losing effort against Vladimir Kozlov on May 13, 2010. This match was filmed during a WWE Raw (May 10, 2010) in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, the last WWE event at the Mellon Arena, known to the locals as the Igloo. This made Ryan Mitchell the last Pittsburgh-born professional wrestler to perform at the Igloo. Mitchell would also wrestle Dos Caras Jr. the next night in a dark match at the WWE SmackDown tapings from the HSBC Arena in Buffalo, New York. Retirement and U.S. Army Mitchell would wrestle his last match for the Renegade Wrestling Alliance in West Newton, PA in a handicap tag match pitting himself, Chris Taylor, and Ryan's father Dean Madar against Cueball Carmichael and Ryan Edmonds with Ashton Amherst serving as special referee. Mitchell would later comment that having his mentor, three best friends, and father all working his last match was a "helluva way to go out!" Mitchell is currently a Warrant Officer in the United States Army where he serves as a UH-60 Blackhawk Pilot, and has deployed to combat in Afghanistan.
