After Killings was given a new program, Hoyt started teaming up with the [[New Age Outlaws#Voodoo Kin Mafia|Voodoo Kin Mafia]] (VKM). His role with the team seemed to be that of a friend and bodyguard, watching their backs during their matches, and working the occasional six-man tag team match with them on ''Impact!''. At [[Slammiversary (2007)|Slammiversary]], VKM defeated [[Basham Brothers|Basham and Damaja]] when [[Billy Gunn|Kip James]] pinned Basham, but Hoyt turned his back on VKM when Kip was about to attack [[Christy Hemme]].<ref name="Slammiversary07">{{cite web |url=http://slam.canoe.ca/Slam/Wrestling/PPVReports/2007/06/17/4268988.html |archive-url=https://archive.today/20120629172343/http://slam.canoe.ca/Slam/Wrestling/PPVReports/2007/06/17/4268988.html |url-status=usurped |archive-date=June 29, 2012 |title=TNA scores with Slammiversary |date=2007-06-17 |last=Clevett |first=Jason |access-date=2009-02-26 |publisher=SLAM!

He then became part of a tag team managed by Hemme alongside the returning [[Jimmy Rave]], later named The Rock 'n Rave Infection. They soon became a comedic [[Rock bands|rock band trio]], with Hoyt and Rave entering the ring with ''[[Guitar Hero]]'' [[game controller]]s and Hemme screaming on a microphone.

Hoyt competed at [[Lockdown (2008)|Lockdown]] in a "Cuffed in the Cage" match losing to the eventual winner, [[Eric Young (wrestler)|Super Eric]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://slam.canoe.ca/Slam/Wrestling/PPVReports/2008/04/13/5275576.html|archive-url=https://archive.today/20120630011658/http://slam.canoe.ca/Slam/Wrestling/PPVReports/2008/04/13/5275576.html|url-status=usurped|archive-date=June 30, 2012|title=TNA Lockdown: Joe captures gold|date=2008-04-13|last=Sokol|first=Chris|access-date=2009-02-26|publisher=SLAM!

Since then, The Rock 'n Rave Infection defeated the teams of [[Abyss (wrestler)|Abyss]] and Matt Morgan, [[Latin American Xchange]], and The Prince Justice Brotherhood (Super Eric, [[Shark Boy]], and [[Christopher Daniels|Curry Man]]), the latter of whom soon began a feud with The Rock 'n Rave Infection. On February 10, 2009, Hoyt was released from his TNA contract.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.f4wonline.com/content/view/8339/|title=TNA releases|date=2009-02-10|last=Meltzer|first=Dave|access-date=2009-02-11|publisher=Wrestling Observer/Figure Four Online}}</ref> He wrestled his last match in TNA on the February 26 edition of ''Impact!'', teaming with Rave and losing to [[Beer Money, Inc.]] in an "[[Professional wrestling match types#Loser Leaves Town match|Off the Wagon Challenge]]".<ref name="OWOW"/>
