The Crimson Dragons

The Crimson Dragons is a faction that is currently based on the Vindication brand. The group was initially formed by MD & Jack Thunderheart due to their shared hatred of all the malicious forces roaming around Vindication. The group was officially unveiled on the Discord Weekly after Battle Lines 4. The founding members of the group included MD, Jack Thunderheart, Xistro Horror, Ziro To'a, Max Shearman & Phil X. It was feared that group wouldn't last long due to heated confrontations between some of the members in the past, mainly between MD, Xistro & Shearman. However, MD reassured everybody that he had formerly had a sit down with Xistro & Shearman and they had actually since become friends. Later on after Supremacy 4, Jasper Star would be recruited to the ranks by MD.

### Formation

The group was formed by MD & Jack Thunderheart due to their shared hatred of all the malicious forces roaming around Vindication. These groups included The Fabulous Furious Freaks, Starjammer LLC & The Church Of Steele. The group was officially unveiled after Battle Lines 4 on the CWL Discord Weekly. The founding members of the group were revealed to include MD, Jack Thunderheart, Xistro Horror, Ziro To'a, Max Shearman & Phil X.

### Recruitment

They say "keep your friends close & keep your enemies even closer". This was the main driving force behind the recruitment phase of The Crimson Dragons. After Verdict, MD was looking for people that he could depend on. He was looking for people that he knew were amazing at their job. So he looked back at his past and found his new brothers in arms. He recruited Xistro Horror, who he had beaten at Zero Hour and Max Shearman, who had just been kicked from The Church Of Steele. He then recruited Phil X, as Phil had helped him in the past. He then finally recruited Ziro To'a, as Ziro had always been very vocal about wanting to help MD.

## CWL Season 4 (2021)

Things weren't looking pretty early on, as MD had to defend his YouTube Championship against his own stable mate in the form of Max Shearman, as he had become the #1 Contender for the title at Verdict by beating Jack Steele. However, to make things even more heated, The Dour Ranger also became #1 Contender after winning the Open Invitation Ladder Match at Battle Lines 4. MD fought against Shearman & Dour Ranger on Vindication 3.35 and unsuccessfully defended his Championship, as he lost it to Max Shearman. After the match came to a close, MD & Shearman confirmed that there was no bad blood between them.

After Vindication 3.35, Xistro Horror & Ziro To'a would become a Tag-Team and attempt to earn a contendership at the CWL Tag Team Championships.

Jack Thunderheart would make his first appearance after Battle Lines 4 and announce he was entering the Battle For Supremacy so he could get a rematch against Pistolero.

MD would then announce his entry into the Battle For Supremacy. However, he would soon reveal that after a matchup with Jasper Star (before he joined The Crimson Dragons) that he had suffered a major spine injury and would be out of action after Supremacy 4.

Supremacy 4 would then take place on May 23rd, 2021 and would unfortunately be a sour night for The Crimson Dragons. Xistro Horror, Ziro To'a, Jack Thunderheart and MD would all fail to win the Battle For Supremacy, with MD being the only member to make it into the final 4.

After Supremacy 4, MD would take an extended hiatus to recover from his injuries. However, he would then recruit Jasper Star before he left.

At Jailbreak, Jasper Star would have the opportunity of a lifetime, as he would be in the Elimination Chamber Match for the Vindication Heavyweight Championship. Unfortunately, he would eliminated early on and the match was later won by William Black.

At Endgame 4, Xistro Horror fought for the Vindication Heavyweight Championship against William Black in a 2 Out Of 3 Falls Match. In a sad turn of events, Xistro would lose the match and go 2-0 against Black.
