On the October 20 episode of IMPACT, Heath & Rhino won the IMPACT Tag Team Championships when they defeated Honor No More (Matt Taven & Mike Bennett).
Heath & Rhino had plans to get Heath a contract go won to win the the IMPACT Tag Team Titles when they were part of the Call Your Shot gauntlet at IMPACT Bound For Glory 2020, but an injury to Heath derailed things. Rhino ended up winning the gauntlet to secure Heath his contract, and went on to win the IMPACT Tag Team Titles with Joe Doering.
Speaking on Outside The Ropes, Rhino & Heath discussed their IMPACT Tag Team Title victory.
"It was one of those goals that I set coming in. Two years ago, I set this goal. Then, Bound For Glory, got kind of messed up. Winning these titles, to me, it was like one of those little medals, to win them with Rhino. I love him to death, he's my buddy, and we're holding gold in two different feds. It's one of those things where, I have a bucket list in IMPACT, and I got to check one off. I'm happy to do it with him," said Heath.
Rhino added, "That's one thing we talked about, that's a goal we set. At the beginning of the year, we made a promise to the fans and made it public, our goals. When he came in and got hurt, I was there for him and then he was there for me when Honor No More tried to put us out. It's one of those things where you accomplish something you set out to do, and it's so rewarding when you're sitting here with the titles around your waist. The battle just begins because everyone is coming for you."
Rhino & Heath reunited in the fall after Rhino was kicked out of Violent By Design.
The two men were the first-ever WWE SmackDown Tag Team Champions.
