The team garnered a second shot at the ROH World Tag Championship on ROH's television program, Ring of Honor Wrestling, and picked up a series of wins during the Double Feature II tour of Canada, and at the Never Say Die and Validation shows.[1]

At the Ring of Honor Wrestling tapings on August 15, 2009, King beat Lynn. After the match, Titus and King attacked Lynn, and performed a spike piledriver on Lynn, removing Lynn from active competition.[1][2] He and Titus defeated The Young Bucks at Clash Of The Contenders.[1]
