After this, the two began teaming more frequently, eventually changing their name to Aussie Open and working on the independent scene as a tag team. Aussie Open also competed in Europe, for promotions such as Westside Xtreme Wrestling.[6] In August, Aussie Open made their debuts for Revolution Pro Wrestling and continued to work with them in the long term.
