Peter "Petey" Williams, part 2

Williams again acted as the captain of Team Canada in the TNA 2006 World X Cup Tournament. He lost to Jushin Liger at Sacrifice 2006 in a Captain vs. Captain semifinal match, but won the Gauntlet Match final to tie points with Team USA. The next Thursday, May 18, on iMPACT!, he lost to Team USA captain Chris Sabin in a tiebreaker singles match.

On the June 29 episode of iMPACT!, Jim Cornette announced that Team Canada is now disbanded. They then were given one last chance in a match 2 weeks later, against Jay Lethal, Rhino, and Team 3D with the stipulation that if they lost, they are disbanded without any more chances. Unfortunately for Team Canada, Jay Lethal pinned A1, officially disbanding Team Canada once and for all. On the July 27 edition of iMPACT!, Williams won an X Division Four Way defeating Sonjay Dutt, Johnny Devine, and Shark Boy, after hitting Shark Boy with the Canadian Destroyer. On the following week's iMPACT! he defeated Jay Lethal, Sonjay Dutt, Kazarian and Alex Shelley and became the number one contender to the X Division Championship.

At Hard Justice 2006, Williams challenged the X-Division Champion Senshi in a Triple Threat match involving Jay Lethal. Williams debuted a new look this night, wearing tights that departed from the Team Canada theme and focused on his infamous finishing move. In the match, Williams used the Canadian Destroyer on Lethal, guaranteeing victory, until Senshi dropkicked Williams out of the ring and pinned Lethal to retain his championship.

Williams was invited to watch the Latin American Exchange burn the American flag during the November 16 edition of iMPACT!, but Williams would make his first face turn after refusing to torch the flag. Williams was involved in the AMW and Latin American Exchange feud. Williams was held on the shoulders of Chris Harris and James Storm holding the American flag. At Genesis 2006, Homicide had Gail Kim setup for "Da Gringo Killa" but Williams came in with a lead pipe to make the save.

Williams was meant to be Kurt Angle's partner to face LAX for the NWA World Tag Team Championship belts, but he was ambushed before the match by LAX. Samoa Joe would then be Angle's partner. In an episode of iMPACT!, Petey Williams would go one on one against Homicide defeating him via roll up. After the match though, all three members of LAX started to beat down Petey and Hernandez gave him "The Border Toss". America's Most Wanted would then come out to make the save and then steal the Mexican flag. At Turning Point 2006, Petey would come to help America's Most Wanted in their flag match against LAX. During the match he tried to use The Canadian Destroyer on Konnan, but he was stopped by Hernandez. Sometime later, Gail Kim became his valet. The two were defeated by James Storm and Jacqueline Moore at Against All Odds 2007. Petey became involved in a storyline with former partners Eric Young and Robert Roode as Eric's friend trying to help him out of a contract. It continued until TNA Lockdown where Petey faced Roode in the cage. Petey had the advantage after using a hockey stick on Roode. However Roode hit him with a vicious fisherman suplex to win the match. He also competed in the Ultimate X match at Victory Road alongside Sonjay Dutt, but was eliminated 2nd by Homicide. Other than the guantlet match, Petey remained largely unseen on television since Lockdown until TNA received a two-hour timeslot, which took effect October 4, 2007. On the October 25th episode of TNA Impact!, Petey participated in a fatal four way X division style match along with Havok, Sonjay Dutt and Shark Boy only for Team 3D to interfere and put Williams through a table along with Havok. On the November 1st episode of TNA Impact, Petey Williams was among the group of X Division wrestlers who attacked Team 3D.
