=== Season 9 - Friendship & Friendly Rivalry with Dany Thunder ===
SMF started of Season 9 by thanking those who had supported him throughout his time in Premier Wrestling, but reflected on the reason he was in Premier Wrestling in the first place. He spoke of his time on the indies and the legends he looked up to while watching the former promotion VAW on TV. To start of Season 9, SMF called out any veterans he would've watched all those years ago, and said it would be an honour to have a match with them to earn his stripes in Premier. Maven Gothly was the first competitor to respond to the challenge, followed by returning legendary high flier, Doobienator. Just as the match was about to start, a returning VAW superstar, Dany Thunder, came out of retirement and inserted himself into the match. During the match, Dany Thunder and SMF had limited offence against each other, before the fatal four way's chaos got them away from each other, leading to an exchange between SMF and Maven Gothly on the outside. During this time, Dany Thunder successfully pinned Doobienator and took the win. After the match, SMF and Thunder shook hands and expected to be on their way.

On the next episode of Premier Wrestling, Dany Thunder would call out SMF for a one on one rematch, as he noticed that for a newer guy, he had a lot of skill, and that he pushed him to his limits. The two put on an extremely even contest, resulting in the first ever time limit draw in Premier Wrestling history. Upon the time limit draw, the then General Manager of Premier Wrestling, Dante, came out and expressed great interest in both performers, inviting them to his office on the next episode of Premier Wrestling for a special offer. The two would meet during the next episode, both dressed in their finest clothes for the occasion. General Manager Dante scheduled a rematch for the Mid Season episode. The catch to this was the fact that it would be a 15 minute iron man match. The next week at the mid season finale, Dany Thunder and SMF fought in the iron man match, in what looked like was going to be another time limit draw, only for SMF to pin Thunder within the last 3 seconds of the match in order to become #1 contender.
