Wild Cards vs. Rock and Roll Express (Champions) vs. Eli Drake and James Storm

NWA Hard Times Pay Per View January 24: Tag Team Title Match

The NWA Tag Team Triple Threat Rules require one member from each team to be in the ring. You can also only tag in your own partner. Eli Drake and Ricky Morton teamed up to take down Latimer and then decided to go after each other. Robert Gibson and James Storm also formed a temporary alliance before Gibson fell to the outside. With Gibson on the outside, Wild Card isolated James Storm and began tagging in and out. Storm finally got the tag to Drake, but the referee didn’t see the tag. All three men needed to make tags and Storm and Isaacs succeeded in reaching their partners as Robert Gibson needed some extra time to get the tag. With Ricky Morton finally tagged in, Latimer chopped him in the throat and eventually Drake was able to get the pinfall victory over the Rock and Roll Express. Eli Drake and James Storm are the new Tag Team Champions.
