About a month after the feud with Styles, Abyss received a new manager,

Turning Point
, when Brown again came out victorious.

Mesias then suffered an injury outside TNA, leaving Mitchell to enlist the aid of Raven and

This rivalry led to a Match of 10,000 Tacks with Abyss and Rhino teaming up to take on Black Reign and Rellik booked for Turning Point. Rhino could not make the event due to a legitimate neck injury caused by Rellik during a match on Impact, so Abyss chose Raven as his new partner.[2] Abyss and Raven won the match after Abyss performed the Black Hole Slam on Rellik on the thumbtacks.[2]
