 Peck picked up his first win in his second match on April 16, when he defeated Colt Cabana in an open challenge, after hitting him with his baton.Peck later claimed that he had been able to defeat Cabana because Eddie Kingston's finishing maneuver, the "Backfist to the Future", had actually sent him to the future, where he had bought a sports almanac and found out who would be answering his challenge.During the following months, Peck started a win streak, defeating Frightmare, Sugar Dunkerton and Dasher Hatfield through further cheating.
