Then they started feuding with Team 3D, and, after winning three consecutive matches at Final Resolution (by DQ), Against All Odds (in a Little Italy Street fight) and Destination X (in a Ghetto Brawl), lost the NWA tag-team championships to Team 3-D at TNA lockdown 2007 in an electrified Steel-cage match when Homicide was pinned after a 3-D.

Styles and Tomko and the team that won Cuffed in a Cage at Lockdown, Eric Young/Super Eric and Kaz.
