When Shane Douglas took control of XPW following "Baptized in Blood 3", Grimes remained with the promotion and engaged in feuds with Douglas and Snuff. During a tag match between Douglas and Lizzy Borden against Grimes and Lucy, Grimes botched a superbomb on Borden through a table on the outside of the ring, as Borden missed the table completely and landed head first on the floor. Grimes also wrestled against several cruiserweights such as Psicosis, Little Guido, and Altar Boy Luke.
