Bio:
Josh Freeman began his career in FSW, where he faced tough opponents like Cameron and Rick Johnson. Despite his efforts in these hard-fought bouts, he often came up short, earning himself a reputation as an underdog within CWE. Eventually, he teamed up with Johnson to take on Cameron, but their partnership would be quickly and forcefully dissolved. As Freeman would get attacked backstage at Blackout 2022 by an unknown assailant before the duo's match later that night, deeming him unable to compete, Johnson's career would then be prematurely ended by an extremely angry God.
The year 2023 marked a turning point for Josh Freeman, as he entered the new year with high aspirations. His journey began when he qualified for the FSW MITV ladder match at that year's MITV PPV, although he was unsuccessful in that competition. However, all hope was not lost. A couple of months later, Freeman challenged for the vacant chaos championship in a triple threat match against Smokie Joe and a rising star known as Tank. To everyone’s surprise, Freeman won the title by pinning Tank.
His night didn't end there. In a surprising turn of events, Chris Slava made a sudden return to CWE, bringing along the chaos championship he had before his injury months prior. Slava wasted no time in confronting Freeman, dismissing his title as nothing more than a "bootleg" and boldly declaring himself the true champion. This explosive confrontation led to a significant dilemma, as it left CWE with two chaos champions. Tensions escalated when Slava issued a challenge to Freeman, demanding that he prove who the true champion was and that only one of them truly deserves to be called the definition of chaos. The only way to settle this dispute was through chaos and violence, and that would be hell in a cell.
This would take place at Armageddon, where the two battled relentlessly, putting everything on the line—their respective championships, their bodies, and possibly their careers as the two fought to be crowned the one-and-true chaos champ. The match was brutal, tables were broken, and bodies were bruised, but in the end, Freeman was unable to secure the victory, and Slava emerged as the undisputed chaos champion, though Freeman fought valiantly until the end.
In the second half of 2023, Freeman participated in occasional title matches (which were hard-fought from his end) and secured a few victories, including a bout at Camamania V. However, he struggled to regain the momentum that had initially propelled him to championship glory. His final televised match took place in 2024 at Hardcore Justice, where he lost to Samuel Simmons. Since then, Freeman has not been seen in a CWE ring.
