## Professional Wrestling Career

### Wrestling Around the World

#### Debut, Formation of Suicide Solution (2015-2016)

Justin Shield's first appearance in WATW came in 2015, where he teamed with his brother, Razor Ryan against The Disciples in a losing effort. Shield's next appearance wouldn't come until April of 2016 on an episode of WATW Mayhem, where he exchanged words with general manager Daniel Addikkson and competed in a battle royal to determine the #1 contender to the Solid Steel championship, which was won by CJ Smith. He would then take part in a tournament to crown new WATW Tag Team Champions. Alongside Rob The 4th, Shield would defeat teams on episodes of Mayhem in the lead up to WATW Slamfest 2016. Two weeks prior to Slamfest, Shield and Rob introduced their insurance policy in Crossbow Joe and officially formed the WATW chapter of Suicide Solution. At Slamfest, Shield and Rob defeated D/L to win the vacant tag titles and would go on to defend them using the "Freebird Rule" with different combinations of Shield, Rob and Joe. At WATW Livin' with the Ladders 2016, Suicide Solution would lose the tag team titles to the returning Disciples in a Four Way ladder match which also featured D/L and Faceless Killaz.

#### Solid Steel Championship Pursuits (2016-2017)

Shortly after losing the tag championships, the roles of the members of Suicide Solution became more defined, with Shield contending for the WATW Solid Steel Championship while Rob and Joe contended for the tag titles. On an episode of Mayhem in January 2017, Shield defeated D-Lion to win the Solid Steel Championship, which was his first singles title in WATW. Shield would defend the title against the likes of Grant Boyd, Johnny Anderson and Shawn Lopez on episodes of Mayhem, and had a notable defense against D-Lion at WATW Marching Orders 2017. At WATW Slam Fest 2017, Shield defended the title against a returning Soldier Dude, but would lose the title the next night in a surprise match against D-Lion.

#### World Championship Win, feud with Rob the 4th (2017-2019)

After losing the Solid Steel title, Shield blamed his stablemates for the losing ways of the group. Rob would leave the group after a confrontation with Shield, and the two would have numerous confrontations in the weeks following. Shield would defeat Rob at WATW August Agony 2017 with the help of Crossbow Joe. After turning his friend on him, Rob decided that he would not stop fighting Justin Shield and that he was determined to run Shield out of the company.

Shield and Rob would both take part in the Keys of Destiny match at Livin' with the Ladders 2017 and Shield would go on to win the match. The next night on Mayhem, Rob came out and said that he would ensure that Shield does not cash in the Keys of Destiny successfully. Shield attempted to cash in the Keys of Destiny on The Best Ever, but Rob would attack Shield, preventing him from doing so. After a match with Garry Garrison, however, Rob was taken out of the arena in an ambulance, leaving the door open for a cash-in. Later in the show, WATW World Champion The Best Ever was assaulted by a chair wielding D-Lion which created an opportunity for Shield to cash in and win the World Championship. Shield would defend the title against The Best Ever at WATW Yesteryear 2017 as well as against D-Lion at WATW Resurrection 2018. Shield would lose the title at WATW Prison Break 2018 to Garry Garrison in a Terrordome Match also featuring The Best Ever, Grant Boyd, D-Lion and Rob the 4th.

Leading into WATW Slam Fest 2018, Shield and Rob continued feuding and would eventually lead to a match at the event where Shield would emerge victorious after using a low blow. Shield would take on a newly babyface Acid Erics at WATW Hot as Hell 2018, wherein Erics would suffer a serious neck injury which would put him on the shelf for almost a year. After this, Rob and Shielf quickly reignited their feud. Rob took exception with being defeated through cheating once again and, after some more confrontations with Shield, would challenge him to a Dog Collar Match. This match would take place at WATW Halloween of Horrors 2018, where Rob would emerge victorious. The match would be a gruesome affair, with both men bleeding profusely, and Shield would take about a month and a half off. Upon his return, Shield would inject himself in the program between Rob the 4th and Starsmile, who were feuding at the time over the Solid Steel Title. The three would compete in different combinations of matches over the title going into the spring of 2019, but Shield's one on one shot at Starsmile's title along with his feud with Rob the 4th was halted upon the return of Acid Erics, who had been injured by Shield the year prior. Erics and Shield would fight at WATW Slam Fest 2019 and at WATW Hot as Hell 2019 and Erics would emerge victorious on both occasions.

#### Triple Crown, Face turn (2019-2020)

After losing to the returning Acid Erics twice, Shield sought to get himself back on track by pursuing the Solid Steel championship held by Starsmile once again. Shield would defeat Starsmile at WATW Halloween of Horrors 2019 for the title and would defend it in a rematch the next night on Mayhem. During this time, Shield began putting a goal into motion which would see him hold every championship in the company at the same time, a feat no person has ever attained before. Shield would seek out a tag partner to help him win the tag team championships but nobody would take him up on his offer, as Shield's dastardly actions had alienated the entire locker room. With nowhere else to turn, Shield would seek out former partner and longtime rival Rob the 4th to aid him in his quest. Rob, initially stunned at the audacity of Shield to ask him for help, Rob would eventually put down an ultimatum: Rob will only consider the offer if Shield gives him a shot at the Solid Steel title first. Shield accepted, and would defeat Rob, albeit with an inadvertent low blow. Rob, furious at what he saw as Shield taking the easy way out, declined Shield's offer to reunite. Shield, desperate for a tag partner, pleaded with Rob to reconsider and offered him another shot at the Solid Steel title. This would set in motion the beginnings of a face turn for Shield, becoming a more straight laced and determined character. Rob, initially distrustful of Shield, would accept the challenge and be defeated the following week. The tag match would be set for the following week, but Rob would not give a direct answer as to whether he would actually team with Shield or not, even up to right before the match. Shield would enter, seemingly going it alone before Rob emerged to tag with his former compatriot, and the duo would win the tag titles from The Disciples.

With two titles down and only one to go, Shield set his sights on the man who defeated him for the world title two years prior, Garry Garrison. Shield would defend both his other titles often on a weekly basis while still cutting promos on Garrison until the match was made official: Garry Garrison vs Justin Shield where the winner takes all at WATW Marching Orders 2020. On this show, Shield would defeat Garrison in the main event to win the World Championship for a second time, making him not only the first man to pin Garry Garrison in two years but also the first and only man to hold the World, Solid Steel and Tag championships at the same time. Dubbing himself the "Triple Crown", Shield would defend all three titles through the spring, before losing the Solid Steel title at WATW Slamfest 2020. On that show, he would also defend the WATW Tag Titles and World Title successfully. However, Shield and Rob the 4th would lose the tag titles the following month at WATW Hot as Hell 2020.

#### Heel Turn, Various feuds (2020-present)

The night after Hot as Hell, Shield and Rob mutually decided to part ways as a team, and Shield would compete in that night's main event against Grant Boyd. Shield would emerge victorious and after the match, Boyd announced that he would be taking an extended leave of absence. With his family by his side, Boyd was celebrated by the roster and the WATW staff in ring until Shield attacked Boyd's wife with a superkick, and then Boyd himself with the championship belt before running off, effectively turning heel once again. Shield's persona would morph from his once cocky and smarmy character to a more desperate and depraved one. Shield would defend the title through the summer against top babyfaces before losing the title to CJ Smith in a fatal four way match. After losing the World title once again, Shield would start buddying up to new champion CJ Smith and would even begin seconding him in matches. Eventually however, Shield's intentions were made clear as he was obsessed with regaining the world title by any means necessary. Shield would be defeated by Smith in a world title match on Mayhem in February, as well as in a triple threat match also including Eric the Sword at Marching Orders 2021. After defeating Chris Cadena at Fight 4 Gold 2021, Shield would be confronted by Grant Boyd for the first time since their altercation in July. Boyd would attack Shield several times in the coming weeks and, after a no contest at WATW Pearly Gates 2021, Boyd would defeat Shield in a steel cage match at WATW Slamfest 2021
