History

On the February 16, 2019 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.[4] As a result, the MLW management suspended Swann (in storyline).[5] 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.[6][7] 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.[8] Markham would accuse the two of harassment.[9]

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.[10] The duo would soon be joined by Kotto Brazil, who also protested over biased officiating.[11] On July 22, MLW.com announced that the three would be forming a group called "Injustice".[12] 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.[13] 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.[14]

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.[15] Oliver and Brazil would defeat Gringo Loco and Zenshi in an elimination tag team match on the November 28 episode of Fusion. On the December 14 episode of Fusion, Injustice protested on not being selected into the Opera Cup tournament but were challenged by King Mo and the returning ACH to a tag team match, which Oliver and Brazil lost.
