Taz - the founder, manager, and namesake of the group

In July 2020, Ricky Starks aligned himself with Brian Cage, who was accompanied by Taz, by attacking Darby Allin.[1] They officially formed a team which was known as "Team Taz". Team Taz started to feud with Allin and Cody Rhodes. On the 18 November episode of Dynamite, Allin and Rhodes were being attacked by Team Taz, when Will Hobbs came to the ring with a chair and it looked like Hobbs was about to attack Team Taz. However Hobbs attacked Rhodes and aligned himself with Team Taz.[2] On the 26 November episode of Dynamite, Will Hobbs's name was changed Taz choked down Cody and Hook aligned himself with Taz.[3] On the 16 December episode of Dynamite, Hook (Taz's real life son Tyler Senerchia) was introduced as the newest member of Team Taz after it had been revealed Hook had been training to be a wrestler with Rhodes. On the same episode, Team Taz also started to feud with Sting, who came out to aid Rhodes and Allin.

On the December 24 episode of Dynamite, Team Taz confronted Sting and were about to attack him, then the lights went off and Allin appeared in the ring along with Sting. On the Brodie Lee Celebration of Life episode of Dynamite on December 30, 2020, Starks, Hobbs (now known as Powerhouse Hobbs) and Cage lost their match to Rhodes, Orange Cassidy and Preston "10" Vance. When the match was over, Team Taz attacked Cody, Cassidy and Vance. Then lights went off and Allin looked at Team Taz, the lights again went off for the second time but this time Sting appeared with Allin.
