On August 31, 1997 Williams won the tag team titles with Gary Albright. Williams' last TV appearance for his first All-Japan run was on the June 28, 1998 edition of AJPW TV. He and Wolf Hawkfield defeated Masao Inoue and Takao Omori before Willams to the WWF, giving a symbolic farewell to Giant Baba and the Japanese audience after the match.
