This climaxed at BCW Stairway to Glory with Commander D walking out Champion yet again. Commander D held the title four three moths defending it against StingRay, Xander and Alex Austin again. Commander D reunited with King to reform D-Xtreme and win the tag titles from the Japanese Army making Commander D a double champion.

Comamdner D defended the title against David White and Johnny Kayno before dropping it to Kayno in a last man standing match.

Commander D and King held onto the tag titles for much of 2008. But as 2008 was in its final months changes were going on in BCW.
