Starks and Hobbs recently parted ways with each other after the former dropped his FTW Title to HOOK. Despite the loss, the former Team Taz member was content with his reign as champion and expressed his desire to move forward with Hobbs. But the latter had other plans and turned on his partner to lay him out with a spinebuster.

Speaking on a recent episode of the K100 w/ Konnan & Disco podcast, Inferno highlighted that the split destroyed a good heel faction in the promotion. He also opined that the split up between Christian Cage and Luchasaurus was unnecessary.
