On August 14, 2002 Kash reemerged in Total Nonstop Action Wrestling as part of the X Division. Using the gimmick of a cocky, obnoxious heel, Kash eventually won the TNA X Division Championship. He was managed by Trinity for some time, and eventually turned on her, leading to a somewhat controversial series of matches and physical confrontations between the two.
