Douglas grew jealous of Jack getting the title shot instead of him. Jack received the title shot on the May 9 Hardcore TV, where Douglas' Triple Threat teammates Chris Benoit and Dean Malenko cost him the title shot. Jack and Douglas would then cost each other title shots against Sandman. At Barbed Wire, Hoodies & Chokeslams, Sandman defended the title against Jack in a Barbed Wire match. Jack initially won the title by getting up as Sandman was unable to answer the referee's ten count until Bill Alfonso restarted the match on the ground that a title did not change hands on countouts.

Raven dragged Richards and Francine to the backstage. Pitbulls nailed a superbomb to Snot but were distracted as Raven had been gone. The distraction allowed Dudley Dudley to dive and hit Pitbull #2 in the back of the head and put Snot on top of him for the pinfall victory.
