When he returned in 2004, he reformed the H8 Club with Wifebeater. They teamed up to face Nick Gage and Nate Hatred at ''Cage of Death VI'' with the winners having the right to call themselves the H8 Club. At the end of the match, Nick Gage turned on Nate Hatred and allowed Justice Pain to pin Hatred. After this, Pain turned on Wifebeater and joined his real life brother as the new H8 Club.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.czwrestling.com/archives/2004.html |title='Cage of Death 6' – December 11th 2004 – Philadelphia, PA |date=2004-12-11 |access-date=2009-05-21 |publisher=[[Combat Zone Wrestling]] |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160216031018/http://www.czwrestling.com/archives/2004.html |archive-date=February 16, 2016 |df=mdy-all }}</ref> They won the tag team titles by defeating Team Cash in February 2005.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.czwrestling.com/archives/2005.html |title='Only The Strong' – February 5th 2005 – Philadelphia, PA |date=2005-02-05 |access-date=2009-05-21 |publisher=[[Combat Zone Wrestling]] |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100116122523/http://czwrestling.com/archives/2005.html |archive-date=January 16, 2010 }}</ref> At the end of 2005, Justice Pain once again competed in the Cage of Death match and came out on the winning side with partners Zandig and Nick Gage.
