Combat Zone Wrestling set the main event of their biggest show of the year, the 2012 Cage of Death event, over the weekend as DJ Hyde, who plays the heel owner of the company will face the once fired, now reinstated Matt Tremont inside the COD on Saturday 12/8. The storyline has been building for the last year.
Over the weekend, the promotion held their Night of Infamy event in Voorhees, NJ, featuring Tremont appearing after buying a ticket and walking in the front door. Hyde, upon seeing him, demanded he be thrown out, leading to the event CZW locker room stating they would leave with Tremont if he was not reinstated. Hyde offered Tremont a match against Ron Mathis & Joe Gacy under Ultraviolent Rules, with the stipulation that if he won without the help of anyone from CZW, EVOLVE or Dragon Gate, he could have his job back. This led to New Jack showing up and interfering on Tremont's behalf, so he was reinstated with Hyde stating he wouldn't be around long because he would have to enter the COD and be destroyed forever.
