The Sandman subsequently claimed that he would have to retire as a result, with Dreamer responding by dedicating the remainder of his career to him. Cairo began mocking The Sandman, which led to Dreamer heavily beating him during a match at November to Remember 1994. During The Sandman's retirement ceremony, The Sandman reconciled with Peaches (Woman had abandoned him upon his blinding) before revealing that he was not in fact blinded and attacking Dreamer. The Sandman later revealed that his "blinding" had been an elaborate ruse concocted to trick Dreamer into hurting Cairo on his behalf.

In a rematch at Hostile City Showdown 1995, Sandman faced Douglas (who had Woman in his corner) in a rematch. During the course of the match, Woman turned on Douglas, helping Sandman defeat the now over-confident Douglas and become the ECW Champion. It was revealed that the entire sequence of events was a double-cross planned all along by Woman to aid Sandman while psychologically destroying Douglas in the process. Double cross is a phrase meaning to betray Origin The phrase originates from the use of the word cross in the sense of Foul play; deliberate collusion
