I am glad I did not take this resolution.
What I did to fix this issue was login into Cpanel and then go to Wordpress Management.
From there it had the notification that an update was waiting for the broken domain. Applied the update in the Wordpress Management module and BOOM we are back. There may have been something with the Brave browser or maybe just being logged into the account while updating was creating an issue. Regardless, it is operational and hopefully this helps anyone running into the same issue!
