Injustice is a professional wrestling stable in Major League Wrestling (MLW), which consists of Jordan Oliver, Kotto Brazil and Myron Reed.[1] Reed is the reigning World Middleweight Champion in his first reign.[2]
History
On the February 16 episode of Fusion, Ace Austin defeated Rich Swann in a middleweight match. Swann was frustrated at the referee Doug Markham's biased officiating, which led to Swann attacking him and announcer Rich Bocchini in rage.[3] As a result, the MLW management suspended Swann (in storyline).[4] Swann appealed against the suspension but his appeal was rejected. Fellow middleweight Myron Reed protested against Swann's suspension and even wrote "Free Swann" with a tape on his mouth. On the March 23 episode of Fusion, Reed lost a match to Gringo Loco due to being distracted with his "Free Swann" movement and attacked the referee in response, which led to management suspending him as well for six weeks.[5][6] Swann was reinstated a few days later and upon Reed's return, the two began a "Justice" movement in protest against biased officiating by the referees primarily Markham.[7] Markham would accuse the two of harassment.[8]
Shortly after, Swann left MLW while Reed formed an alliance with Jordan Oliver at Kings of Colosseum where Oliver helped Reed in defeating Rey Horus.[9] The duo would soon be joined by Kotto Brazil, who also protested over biased officiating.[10] On July 22, MLW.com announced that the three would be forming a group called "Injustice".[11] They competed in their first match as a trio on the August 31 episode of Fusion, where they defeated Air Wolf, Gringo Loco and Zenshi in a six-man tag team match.[12] They continued to feud with various middleweights over the next few months and defeated Gringo Loco, Puma King and Septimo Dragon in a trios match at MLW's first-ever pay-per-view event Saturday Night SuperFight.[13]
On the November 11 episode of Fusion, Reed defeated Teddy Hart to win the World Middleweight Championship after Contra Unit member Josef Samael threw a fireball into Hart's face.[14]
