History[]
Online Wrestling Alliance (2013)[]
Debut[]
The group debuted on the May 31, 2013 episode of Online Wrestling Alliance. During the scheduled King of the World quarter-final match between Kenneth Krane and Angel, two men dressed in riot gear jumped the guard rail. One of them distracted the referee, while the other hit a spear on Kenneth Krane. This allowed Angel to get the victory and advance to the semi-finals of the tournament. Later in the night, the trio appeared on the titantron in an undisclosed location. During this, Angel introduced the men as Treth Crollins and Greek Sunns, announcing that they had formed a group known as The Sword.
Attacks on Craig Anderson and Zack Richards[]
During the month of June, the group targeted two of Angel's main rivals in OWA; Zack Richards and then World Heavyweight Champion, Craig Anderson. Angel's main intention for the group was to assist him in becoming the World Heavyweight Champion. In order to help achieve this goal, Anderson and Richards would be beat down every week until both men put aside their differences and teamed up against the trio. Crollins and Sunns had a short stint as a tag team, coming up short in becoming tag team champions. Meanwhile, Angel advanced to the finals of the King of the World tournament, defeating Jeff Palmer in the semi-finals. At Redemption, Angel and Zack Richards faced off in the finals of the tournament, although The Sword got involved, it didn't help Angel win the finals, as both Crollins and Sunns where taken out early in the match by Zack Richards. Angel defeated Richards in the final match.
International and World Heavyweight Championship[]
During July, Angel lost the International Championship to Demento. With Angel now focused on becoming world heavyweight champion at Stairway to Stardom, Treth Crollins challenged for the International Championship, winning the title in the process. At Stairway to Stardom, during the match between Angel and Craig Anderson, The Sword where ejected from ringside after Sunns attacked Craig while Crollins had the referee distracted. Near the closing moments of the bout, both Crollins and Sunns appeared at ringside again, this time with Sunns distracting the referee, while Crollins attempted to throw salt in Craig's eyes, but missed and hit Angel instead, almost costing him the world heavyweight championship in the process. Angel won the match, and would celebrate with his team mates.
Breakup[]
During August, Crollins gave the European Championship to Sunns as a birthday present, separating the two titles once again. At OWA's final event, Total Anarchy, Angel defended the world heavyweight championship against long time rival Zack Richards. After Richards defeated Angel, Crollins and Sunns made their way to the ring. While Angel was instructing them to attack Richards, they instead, attacked Angel, ending the stable and turning face.
