Freebird Rule") against A.J. Styles and Tomko, while Jones stood outside and watched. Jones attempted to interfere during the match by throwing cash at referee Earl Hebner, which inadvertently distracted Hebner long enough to miss a pin for Team Pacman and allow Styles and Tomko to win the match and the title.[16]

Aftermath

After the loss, Jones all but disappeared from TNA television, with his contract expiring and being passed up for renewal on October 15. Jones would return to the promotion six years later, now known as Impact Wrestling, on the November 7, 2013 episode of Impact!, which was held in Cincinnati. Jones and Bengals practice squad member, defensive end DeQuin Evans, were sitting in the front row and got into an altercation with Bad Influence (Christopher Daniels and Kazarian), who pushed both players, leading them to jump the guardrail and bodyslam both wrestlers in the ring.[17]

Killings also left TNA, rejoining WWE under the ring name R-Truth. He has mostly been used as a comedic character, but has won the

WWE Tag Team Championship once. He has also teamed and been allied with The Miz, Kofi Kingston, Xavier Woods, Goldust and Carmella
.

Creed, however, was given a contract with TNA, which he was presented with at an NWA Anarchy show.

World Tag Team Championship. He was released in 2010, and signed a developmental deal with WWE, changing his ring name to Xavier Woods. After stints with WWE's developmental territory Florida Championship Wrestling (FCW) and its third brand NXT, Woods was called up to the main roster, where he resumed his partnership with R-Truth. Following the tag team's disbandment in 2014, he recruited Kingston and Big E to form a stable called The New Day
. He has attained the most success with the New Day, becoming a multi-time tag team champion alongside his stablemates, as part of the "Freebird Rule".
