On July 26, they lost the titles to [[Kevin Steen and El Generico]].

The previous champion, [[Low Ki]], had gotten injured, forcing him to vacate. Strong was supposed to face Low Ki for the title, and thus was given a bye into the final round. The tournament (dubbed [[List of Pro Wrestling Guerrilla tournaments#¡Dia de los Dangerous! PWG World Championship Tournament|¡Dia de los Dangerous!]]) final saw Strong wrestle Human Tornado and [[Karl Anderson]] in a three-way match, which Strong lost. On May 17 and 18, he entered the second annual [[Dynamite Duumvirate Tag Team Title Tournament (2008)|DDT4]] with Evans. They went on to defeat the teams of [[Scorpio Sky]] and Ronin and Los Luchas (Phoenix Star and Zokre) on their way to the finals, where they beat the World Tag Team Champions Kevin Steen and El Generico to become champions and tournament winners. On July 6 at ''Life During Wartime'', [[The Age of the Fall]] ([[Seth Rollins|Tyler Black]] and Jimmy Jacobs) defeated the team of Generico (substituting for Evans) and Strong to win the titles. The next month, Strong beat Tyler Black in singles action. He entered his third [[Battle of Los Angeles (professional wrestling)#2008)|Battle of Los Angeles]] and was eliminated in the first round by eventual winner Low Ki.
