At GCW Most Notorious at Harpo’s Theatre on Friday, January 14 in Detroit, Michigan, Cardona faced Rhino in singles competition.
Prior to the match, Cardona angered the crowd when he said Rhino is not the last ECW Television Champion, but its Ezekiel Jackson, who held the ECW Title in WWE in 2010. He then said that when he pinned Rhino, he would be the new ECW TV Champion.
At one point during the match, Cardona pulled out what was presumably a replica ECW TV Title belt and attempted to use it as a weapon. In the ring, Rhino Gored Chelsea Green through a door. Cardona hit a low blow and a belt shot on Rhino to win the match.
As soon as the bell rang, Cardona forced Emil Jay to announce him as the new ECW Television Champion.
WWE Hall of Famer Kevin Nash and Sabu also made appearances.
