Matt Lee (Matt Martel) and Jeff Parker (Chase Parker) have landed on their feet; the duo formerly known as Ever-Rise will debut on AEW Dynamite this week.
In a promo released on social media, the duo aligned with Daniel Garcia and challenged Jon Moxley, Eddie Kingston and Darby Allin to a six-man tag team match. AEW President ony Khan then signed the bout for Dynamite on Wednesday night.

WWE released Ever-Rise on June 25, but the duo’s non-compete clause is clearly shorter because both men were on NXT, not the main roster.
In Garcia, they’ll team up with a renowned name on the independent scene; he’s currently the Limitless World Champion. The trio will have its hands full in this bout, as Moxley, Kingston and Allin are three of the top stars in AEW.
