Winning this match marked the first tag team championship for the newly named Hooligans.

With their success in the United Kingdom, the Hooligans travelled over to Germany to take on Christian Eckstein and Leon van Gasteren at European Wrestling Promotion for the EWP Tag Team Championship, but would return to England unsuccessful.
