## Professional Wrestling Career

### Wrestling Around the World

#### Debut, Tag Champions (2016-2017)

In April of 2016, Justin Shield appeared on an episode of WATW Mayhem to issue a challenge to any WATW wrestler in the locker room. He was met by GM Daniel Addikkson who informed Shield that he would be in a crossbrand battle Royal later in the evening, which would eventually be won by CJ Smith. The following week, it was announced that there would be a tournament to crown New Tag championship after Big Dad Sinister was injured during a live tour. Shield arrived to introduce his partner, a debuting Rob the 4th. This duo was referred to as Suicide Solution by commentary. The pair won the first three matches in the tournament and they were announced to be contending in the finals at WATW Slamfest 2016 against New team Hikaru Daiti and Shawn Lopez. In the lead up to this match, they introduced their "bodyguard" in Crossbow Joe, who attacked Daiti and Lopez. This trio would become WATW's unit of Suicide Solution, with the team being referred to as "representing Suicide Solution". Shield and Rob would defeat Daiti and Lopez at Slamfest 2016 to win the WATW Tag Team Championships for the first time.

Over the course of the summer, Shield and Rob would defend the titles, often against either Faceless Killaz, New Daze or Daiti and Lopez, retaining often with the help of Crossbow Joe. In the fall, Shield began chasing after the Solid Steel Championship while still holding the Tag Title. At November's Livin' With the Ladders, Shield and Rob lost the Tag Titles in a four way ladder match to a returning Disciples. The team of Shield and Rob would not again challenge for the Tag Titles in this iteration, as Shield began placing his focus exclusively on the Solid Steel Title, while Rob began teaming with Joe instead.

Two weeks after Livin With the Ladders, Shield defeated D-Lion to win his first singles title, the Solid Steel Title. Shield would defend this title through the winter and spring against challengers such as D-Lion, Grant Boyd, Johnny Anderson and Daniel Flyer. Meanwhile, Rob and Joe unsuccessfully challenged for the Tag titles on numerous occasions, most notably in a falls count anywhere match against The Disciples at WATW Prison Break 2017 and in a Four Corners Tag at WATW Slamfest 2017. At the same event, Shield defeated a returning Soldier Dude in a non-title match.

The next night on Mayhem, GM Daniel Addikkson informed Shield that he had not defended his title in over 30 days and he was required to defend it that night or risk being stripped. His opponent was D-Lion, who beat Shield swiftly after dispatching Rob and Joe. The following weeks saw Shield blame Rob and Joe for his losing of the title, eventually causing Rob to walk out on him during an in Ring segment, teasing a face turn. This turn was eventually cemented when Shield physically provoked Rob, causing him to initiate a brawl. Joe was initially on the fence not taking a side, but would eventually aid Shield in defeating Rob in a singles match. The team of Shield and Joe was short lived, however, as Joe was soon taken off TV, leaving Shield and Rob to feud into the following year. Joe's leave would mark the oxygen end of the first iteration of this group in WATW.

#### Reunion, Triple Crown (2020)

In late 2019, Justin Shield began a campaign to contend for all three major men's WATW titles at the same time. Initially as a heel, Shield captured the WATW Solid Steel Title from Starsmile in October. Shield would soon seek to fight for the Tag titles but found that nobody would Team with him, including former associate Crossbow Joe. Finding nowhere else to turn, he asked former partner turned bitter Rival Rob the 4th. Initially scoffing at the idea, he eventually relented on the condition that he receive a shot at the Solid Steel title first. Shield agreed and the two fought on an episode of Mayhem, with Shield getting the win after an accidental low blow. Rob was incredulous and refused to Team with Shield who seemed genuinely apologetic, claiming he didn't do it on purpose. Shield offered Rob a rematch with the condition that win lose or draw, Rob would Team with him to which Rob replied that he'd "Think about it".

The following week, the two had a rematch where Shield emerged victorious via the Justin Driver. Rob walked out before Shield could proposition him about the team and when confronted backstage, he told Shield he was still thinking. The next week was Shields Tag title match and GM Daniel Addikkson said Shield had to go wrestle regardless of whether Rob was there or not. Shield would be unable to reach Rob all day but when Shield made his entrance, Rob eventually joined him in Ring and together, they won the Tag titles. Shields apologetic nature over the low blow and his acceptance by Rob the 4th led to a face turn for Shield which propelled him to a run towards monster heel champion Garry Garrison. At Marching Orders 2020, Shield wrestled in three matches. In the opener, Shield defeated D-Lion and later on in the show, Shield and Rob defeated The Disciples in a rematch from Mayhem when they won the titles. In the main event, Shield defeated Garry Garrison to win the World title and was the first man to ever hold all three titles at the same time.

Shield and Rob would hold the tag titles through Slamfest but would lose them in July to the team they defeated to win them, The Disciples. This, along with the loss of the Solid Steel title back in June would put cracks in the face turn of Shield, eventually leading to Shield and Rob mutually parting ways so that they could both focus on singles endeavors. Shield would soon turn heel on Grant Boyd while Rob would regain the Solid Steel title near the end of the year.

AT PCWA/RWF/WATW Crossfire 2021, the duo would reunite for one night only despite Rob being a face and Shield being a heel as the two would defeat Starsmile and The Best Ever. The following night, Rob would defeat Shield and Joe in a triple Threat, the time the WATW unit of Suicide Solution competed in a triple Threat on a WATW sanctioned show.
