He eventually followed suit under the condition that he became the leader, which the group apparently agreed to before Angle and Roode turned on and attacked him the same night, with Styles trying to hold them back and Tomko walking out on the scene.
Two weeks before Final Resolution on an episode of TNA iMPACT!, Tomko left both groups stating that he wants to be his own man.
Tomko went on to brutally beat up Angle throughout the Impact Zone, then to defeat him in a one-on-one match with Styles as the referee and with assistance from Cage.
On the following edition of Impact!, Tomko confirmed his membership in the stable, although he made it clear that he would do what he wanted and he was looking out for his own best interest not Angle's.
Later, Samoa Joe and Kevin Nash interrupted Kurt and Karen's renewal of the vows, resulting in Kurt being stripped and chased off and Styles being in the ring with Karen instead when the dazed and confused priest "pronounced" the couple, temporarily making Styles her (kayfabe) second husband.
During this time, Kurt Angle appeared to show support to Team Tomko, making Team 3D and Storm associates of the Angle Alliance; however, whenever Styles tried to help Karen and Kurt settle their marital issues, the latter refused, citing his title defense against Samoa Joe as a higher priority.
At Lockdown, Kurt Angle was met by his wife Karen, who he promptly proceeded to throw out of the building so as to avoid any distractions.
Meanwhile, the associates from the instantly dissolved Team Tomko would actually expand, as Storm would align himself with former Alliance member Robert Roode, forming what eventually became Beer Money, Inc., though when Styles needed a partner after Tomko was injured in a shoot fight in Japan (extended kayfabe for the suspension), both Storm and Roode refused.
Accusing Styles of stealing Karen away whilst having no proof, Kurt Angle and Tomko then aligned with Team 3D as part of a loose collective of "bad guys" which at times had also included mostly every single important heel on the TNA roster at the time, most frequently Booker T, Johnny Devine, The Beautiful People (Angelina Love and Velvet Sky) and mixed martial artist Frank Trigg.
