History
Formation
On the January 18, 2016 episode of Impact Wrestling, Crazzy Steve and Abyss attacked TNA World Tag Team Champions The Wolves during a backstage promo. The next week on January 26, Rosemary would make her presence known leading to a match between Abyss, Crazzy Steve and The Wolves. The match would end in a disqualification as the trio continued to assault The Wolves and steal their titles, thus forming a new stable called Decay.[5][6] On the February 9 episode of Impact Wrestling, Decay challenged Beer Money and The Wolves to a Monster's Ball match and walk away with the victory.[7][8] On the March 16 episode of Impact Wrestling, Decay challenged The Wolves in a Monster's Ball match for TNA World Tag Team Championships in a losing effort. On the Maximum Impact 8 tour, Decay would be confronted by Jimmy Havoc, who inferred a past relationship with Rosemary and attempted to get her back.[9][10] Abyss would go on to defeat Havoc in a No Disqualification match.
Tag Team Champions
On the April 12, Decay challenged Beer Money for the TNA World Tag Team Championships, in a match also involving Eric Young and Bram and The BroMans, in a losing effort. On the March 19 Impact Wrestling tapings, Decay defeated Beer Money to win the TNA World Tag Team Championships after coercing Beer Money into a match by kidnapping Gail Kim. Decay would retain their titles against The BroMans at 2016's Slammiversary. On July, Rosemary started a relationship with Bram, but he was later attacked by Abyss and Crazzy Steve.
Feud with the Hardys
On September 1 episode of Impact Wrestling, Decay received an invitation from "Broken" Matt Hardy and Brother Nero, whom won the #1 tag team contender's match for the TNA World Tag Team Championships at Bound for Glory, to go to the Hardy compound for a plotted "Delete or Decay" brawl. At Bound for Glory, Decay lost the titles against The Hardys. At a set of TNA tapings in October, Rosemary defeated Jade in a six sides of steel match, for the vacant TNA Knockouts Championship.
