The Varsity Blonds have sure shown their synergy as a tag team, but the two budding stars have shown the capability to stand on their own in singles competition as Garrison gotten to show his style against MJF pre-Blonds and Pillman recently challenged Miro for the TNT Championship. As a team, The Blonds battled the Young Bucks for the Tag Team Titles on an episode of Dynamite.
