Shadows' most memorable appearance for HGEW was in a 6 Man Tag Match as part of Team NRGY. The team eventually lost, with Shadows being the 2nd man in the team to be eliminated.

Shadows then began feuding with High Voltage Hardie over the Hardcore Championship. Shadows got 2 wins over Hardie before their final matchup on the 2nd September edition of Implosion where Hardie defeated Shadows in a highly acclaimed match. Overall, he racked up 7 championship reigns while in BAW, considered to be on the top in-ring workers.
