, LAX, with their new manager Hector Guerrero
in their corner, won the vacant TNA World Tag Team Championship, after defeating Team 3D in the finals of the "Deuces Wild Tournament". LAX lost the title at Hard Justice
to Beer Money, Inc.

and Robert Roode).
both Hernandez and Homicide each captured a briefcase from the "Feast or Fired" match which contained a shot at the TNA World Heavyweight Championship
for Hernandez and a shot at the TNA X Division Championship
for Homicide. On a January 15 episode of TNA Impact, Hernandez cashed in his "Feast or Fired" World Title shot against Sting, and won by disqualification when The Main Event Mafia
interfered, which meant that he did not win the title. However, executive shareholder Mick Foley
ruled that because of the interference Hernandez would receive another TNA Title Shot in the future. On the April 30, episode of Impact!, Hernandez was attacked by the debuting British Invasion
faction of Brutus Magnus
, Doug Williams
and Rob Terry
, to allow him time off to recover from a legitimate neck surgery.

Morgan, Hernandez, Dinero and Suicide
defeated Neal, Team 3D and Rhino in an eight-man elimination tag team match. On the January 4, 2010, live, three hour, Monday night edition of Impact! Hernandez and Morgan defeated Dr. Stevie

Hernandez and Morgan retained the Tag Team Title in a match against Beer Money despite plenty of miscommunication between the two champions. After the match Morgan nailed Hernandez with the Carbon Footprint. The following day on Impact! Morgan defeated Hernandez via referee stoppage after sandwiching his head between his boot and the ring post. After the match Homicide came out to check on his former partner, who was being helped by medics. TNA later reported on Hernandez's kayfabe injuries, claiming that he had suffered a herniated disc and cervical damage to his neck in the assault and will be out of action indefinitely. The neck injury storyline was created so Hernandez could work in Mexico for three months.
With Hernandez scheduled to miss months of action, Morgan declared himself the sole World Tag Team Champion on the April 5 edition of Impact! and TNA went along with this and no longer recognized Hernandez as a champion.
Hernandez's return to TNA was hinted at on the June 3 edition of Impact!, when Matt Morgan was distracted by somebody in the crowd which cost him a four-way match with Samoa Joe, Sting
and the winner of the match, TNA World Heavyweight Champion Rob Van Dam
. The camera's immediately showed what was distracting Morgan, but nobody could clearly see who it was, although Taz and Mike Tenay
believed it to be Hernandez. The following week, Hernandez made his official return by attacking Morgan, leading to a match between the two at Slammiversary VIII
. The match at Slammiversary VIII ended in Hernandez being disqualified for assaulting the referee, when he was being reprimanded for going too violently after Morgan. The following month at Victory Road
Hernandez defeated Morgan in a Steel Cage match to end the feud. In November it was reported that Hernandez had turned down TNA's request for him to return to the promotion from his stint in Mexico.

stable. Hernandez then re–ignited his feud with the now–face Matt Morgan by costing him the TNA World Heavyweight Championship in a match against Mr. Anderson. On February 13 at Against All Odds

. On the March 3 edition of Impact! Hernandez was defeated by Morgan via disqualification. On March 13 at Victory Road
, Hernandez defeated Morgan in a First Blood match, after using fake blood on him, following a run–in from a planted fan. On the following edition of Impact!, the alliance of Hernandez, Sarita and Rosita was named Mexican America
. The three of them were then defeated in a six person street fight by Morgan, Angelina Love and Winter
. After the match, the "fan", who had interfered in the match at Victory Road, once again entered the ring and attacked Morgan. On the March 24 edition of Impact!, he was officially presented as the newest member of Mexican America and named Anarquia
. On April 17 at Lockdown
, Morgan defeated Hernandez in a steel cage match to win the feud. After defeating Ink Inc.
(Jesse Neal
and Shannon Moore
) at Sacrifice

On the July 14 edition of Impact Wrestling, Hernandez and Anarquia defeated The British Invasion (Douglas Williams and Magnus), with help from Rosita, to become the number one contenders to the TNA World Tag Team Championship.
