There were a number of events that transpired on Meltdown XXVIII, which was presented live from Birmingham Alabama with one of the most notable being the announcement made by FWA Brand Coordinator Jon Russnow that at Back in Business XVII in Mexico City in two months' time that brand new FWA World Trios Champions will be crowned in a Trios Battle Royal. Russnow's announcement made it clear that the Battle Royal is completely open entry, meaning that existing groups within the FWA are permitted to enter as well as those not currently contracted to the company. Looking at the existing FWA roster, one looks at the likes of The Coven, Jeffry Mason's group and Cthulhu's Nephews as early predicted participants and front runners. However, it is expected that other existing roster members may wish to band together in order to get their hands on championship gold.
Whilst the announcement of the FWA World Trios Championships was an unexpected one, FWA fans were promised an appearance at the show by FWA World Champion Chris Peacock and his opponent tomorrow night on Fallout 028, Danny Toner. It is understood that their involvement was supposed to take the form of a sit down head-to-head between the former friends turned enemies moderated by Todd Salum, but Toner and Peacock happened to arrive at the arena at the same time and some taunts were made from both parties which resulted in a physical brawl. The fight was broken up by a combination of the FWA's own security and the Legacy Arena's, but it came at the cost of a broken jaw of one of the security personnel. It is unknown whether it was Toner or Peacock that struck the security member. As a result of this, both Toner and Peacock were sent away from the arena and their planned segment on the show scrapped. In the hours following the show, some cellphone footage by a passer-by began to do the rounds on Twitter...
As a result of their actions outside the Legacy Arena, the FWA released an official statement this morning condemning the actions of both men and revealed that both have been fined $10,000 for their actions. Both are expected to attend Fallout tomorrow night, but it seems that the match between the two of them has even higher stakes now.
Also on Meltdown, Joe Burr suffered an injury at the hands of Keres during their match. Keres applied a submission on Burr at the match's conclusion and the end result of this is that the previously ruptured larynx of Burr (sustained at Back in Business XVI against Saint Sully) has been injured once more. As a result of this, it has been advised that Burr will be out of action for several months, meaning that it is highly likely he will not be a part of Back in Business again this year.
More to follow, surely...

OOC:
As revealed on Meltdown, we are going to be introducing the FWA World Trios Championships in a Trios Battle Royal at Back in Business. As advertised, it is going to be available for entry to any team of three wrestlers, including those not currently on the FWA roster.
The idea is that the FWA World Trios Championships will not regularly feature on PPVs or be defended all that often, but that does not mean that we won't be able to put storylines together around them. In addition, all matches for the FWA World Trios Championships will have a 3,000 word promo limit per team, and this will include the Trios Battle Royal at Back in Business.

The camera footage is blurry at best as the person filming attempts to bustle through the throngs of people congregating around a large bundle of men in a pile on the floor. They wuickly adjust their view to see a man on the ground with blood dripping from his mouth and he groans as he attempts to talk. The pile on the floor has been split slightly with two men that are not security members being pulled apart, these are of course Chris Peacock and Danny Toner.
"WAH WAH WAH! LITTLE BABY! YOU'RE GOING TO CRY, AREN'T YOU?"
"FUCK YOU, DANNY! YOU'RE A FUCKING COWARD!"
Both men being restrained attempt to pull away from their captors and both manage to do so and this causes the watching crowd to burst into an uproar and in the pandemonium, the cameraperson drops their phone before the video ends to the sound of the two men fighting.
