Their main stomping ground was former major indie EVOLVE Wrestling where they were former tag team champions. As well as EVOLVE the two competed in Europe for PROGRESS Wrestling and Germany&#8217;s wXw (Westside Xtreme Wrestling) as well as a host of American companies.<\/p>\n<p>Initially, the team&#8217;s run came to an end when Anthony Henry stated his intent<a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/2020\/06\/25\/anthony-henry-announces-retirement-from-wrestling-at-the-end-of-2020\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\"> to retire from pro wrestling<\/a> before actually joining WWE where he competed as Asher Hale. Like many, Henry was released from the WWE in 2021 and he quickly set about reforming his team with JD Drake with the two notably doing battle with the Kings of the Black Throne (Malakai Black &amp; Brody King) in Pro Wrestling Guerrilla, and challenging The Briscoes for the ROH tag titles at Warrior Wrestling. Now however their return sees them head to Dynamite to take on two of the most violent men AEW has ever known.<\/p>\n<p><em>Stay tuned to the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/\" target=\"_self\">Last Word on Pro Wrestling<\/a>\u00a0for more on this and other stories from around the world of wrestling, as they develop.
