The Killer Bees were a part of a battle royal involving wrestlers and NFL players at WrestleMania 2 and next got the spotlight at WrestleMania III, where they faced The Iron Sheik and Nikolai Volkoff, losing by disqualification because of the interference of Jim Duggan. After WrestleMania III, the Killer Bees moved on to a feud with WWF newcomers Demolition. By this point, the Bees' stock was clearly slipping in terms of their card placement, though they were one of two teams (with The Young Stallions) to "survive" the 10-team elimination match at the inaugural Survivor Series on Thanksgiving Day 1987. The Bees' last Wrestlemania appearance would be at Wrestlemania IV, where they once again competed in a battle royal.
