The two finally made their debut on the May 24th edition of ECW, losing in a quarter finals match as part of a tournament to determine the first ECW World Tag Team Champions to the team of Epico & Primo. Both Hawk & Animal turned heel shortly after this loss, refusing to team up as the ECW fans "did not deserve it" due to their lack of success upon debuting.

Two days later on ECW, The Road Warriors defeated Cactus Jack & Chainsaw Charlie to capture the ECW World Tag Team Championship.
