Homicide teamed with Low Ki on October 14 at "Enter the Dragon" in a match that saw him lose to Cabana and his old rival Steve Corino, newly returned to the promotion. He faced Cabana in a singles match at "Vendetta" on November 5 that ended in a no contest. On November 19 at "A Night of Tribute", Homicide faced Cabana once again in a no disqualification rematch. Following interference from Julius Smokes and Grim Reefer, Homicide forced Cabana to submit by strangling him with a coat hanger.
