D'Angelo demanded payment for the job but NQCC refused, causing a brawl between the two factions[19] and resulting in a six-man tag team match between the two factions at Week 1 of Spring Breakin', which was won by The D'Angelo Family.[20] On the May 7 episode of NXT, Dempsey and Borne faced Tyson DuPont and Tyrek Igwe in a tag team match.
