From there, he still inexplicably catapulted to challenge XBW Maryland Champion, [[Deathwarrent]], despite the earned victory by War. However, The Icon came up short in his efforts.

	The Icon became relentless to gain possession of the [[XBW Championship]] from [[Nemesis]], failing to initially accomplish his intention in a Last Man Standing match on ''[[XBW Revolution]]'', (a show which eventually debuted and alternated with Inferno) and later a 30 Minute Iron Man match. At episode 5 [[XBW Hardcore Haven\|Hardcore Haven]], The Icon prevailed in attaining the title to mark his first reign after finally defeating Nemesis. However, the championship was later lost when beaten by Deathwarrent in a Triple Threat I Quit match. His attempts were futile trying to regain it.

The next episode, he also lost for the XBW Title against champion War.

	With the influential stance of [[Jackass Championship Wrestling]] led by [[Reilly Davidson]] arising with the mastermind to raid and destroy XBW, The Icon loyally stood his ground in defense of the federation. XBW ran actively until episode 9 which was the final show until a year later, in turn, phasing out storylines and birthing new characters.

-	At [[XBW Labor Day Bash (Season 2)\|Labor Day Bash]] ~~on episode 10~~ in XBW's return in 2004, The Icon redebuted introducing a revelation of change to persona as an arrogant and bold individual who held the newly incorporated XBW Internet Championship despite not winning it.

		+
		+	On episode 12 ''XBW Revolution'', the belt was won by War, however, War decided to drop the title back to The Icon in favor of the primary championship. At [[XBW Final Revolution (Season 2)\|XBW Final Revolution]], after defending with success his Internet Title against [[Chris Phoenix]], The Icon became the first-ever double champion rolling up Deathwarrent and winning the XBW Championship during its one-time 24/7 rule process, but it was only for 23 seconds before Deathwarrent regained it.
		+
		+	At episode 14 [[XBW In Memory Of 2 (Season 2)\|XBW In Memory Of]], The Icon competed in 3 matches, the first aligning with [[The Alliance]] to combat [[Championship Wrestling Entertainment\|CWF]]'s [[Alliance of Violence]] in a Tag Team Elimination match (with designated intervals for entrances) where Deathwarrent inadvertently nailed him with a chair to cause his elimination, and essentially, further ignite a feud. The Icon would exact a measure of payback and later in the show formed a companion in Big J Galvin (later known as [[Jesse James]]) after an interference by Deathwarrent during their bout. By the end of the event, The Icon won the 2nd annual Nemesis Memorial Cup Battle Royal.
		+
		+	On episode 16 ''XBW Revolution'', The Icon and Jesse James appeared in a video package claiming themselves the newly formed [[EZ Money Krew]], with James stating to be number one and The Icon, number two of the group, both equally planning to take over. Inevitably, EZ Money Krew feuded with The Alliance and at [[XBW Insomnia (Season 2)\|XBW Insomnia]] defeated them in a Handicap Tag match with the addition of [[Adam Webb]] to their pair.
		+
		+	Soon, The Icon started his feud with Shawn Hartless, who he lost the Internet Title to on episode 20 ''XBW Revolution''. Prompted to adopt a new brash, egocentric attitude, he altered his name to Ryan Stevens (also later referred to as Ryan "The Icon" Stevens). A rematch at episode 23 [[XBW Hardcore Haven (Season 2)\|XBW Hardcore Haven]] was equivalent in result.
