Backyard wrestling tenure
Extreme Wrestling Alliance (2006-2007 Online)

In June 2006, Shawn Matthews debuted online in his own trampoline-based federation Extreme Wrestling Alliance, that began broadcasting seasonal programming over the internet. He, however, wrestled in the federation before its premiere online. He modelled closely after a new millenium Triple H borrowing the theme, entrance, and finishing move. At the first event Heatwave, he defeated The Ringmaster in a Street Fight to win the vacant EWA Championship for his first reign. An alliance was made later between both him and The Ringmaster.
He shortly took Onion Jack up for any kind of match, who had earned the right in a contender's match to compete for his championship at Guilty As Charged. Jack decided on a 2 out of 3 Falls match that went accepted by an egotistical Matthews. At the event, both wrestled in hardcore conditions and the match controversially extended to 4 Falls, and as a result, Matthews lost his title. Coming off the event, the federation halted progress for a while due to the violent circumstances of the event.
In EWA's return, Matthews pursued shots at the championship but was initially unsuccessfully. He also competed in a Brawl For All match which was a multi-competitor elimination match for the title, but lost the match when eliminated by Onion Jack, who was eliminated by The Ringmaster to lose the title. A feud had soon ignited between allies, Matthews and The Ringmaster over the belt which he had turned on Ringmaster for, ending at Fall Brawl in a High Wire Mayhem match where Matthews finally recaptured the championship, making it his second reign as champion. The following year, Matthews defended against former TCW wrestler and now professional wrestler, Danny Danger at Reborn. Shortly, Matthews took time away from backyard wrestling after a match in another trampoline federation named Pure Skill Wrestling.
Kick Ass Wrestling appearances (2008)
In June 2008, a year later, Matthews made his acclaimed return to backyard wrestling before the merger of Kick Ass Wrestling, Backyard Championship Wrestling and Extreme Wrestling Alliance into Northeast Championship Wrestling. His days of wrestling on trampoline had come to an end. All three federations, however, did a interpromotional match at KAW Blackout 96. Noticeably, Matthews had altered his on-screen character dropping the Triple H persona and adapting his own personality by coming out in hooded shirts, red sports shorts and wrestling boots. He also wrestled at KAW Northeast Showcase, representing as the EWA Championship against KAW Champion, Ace Reed in the main event.
