They first crossed paths in 2017 at <strong>Hardcore Hustle Organization (H2O)<\/strong> and the following year, the two rising stars of GCW were paired together in a series of battles against Los Masizos in both the U.S. and Mexico. Their union was brief, and soon the duo was crossing paths around the deathmatch and indie circuit, in GCW, <a href=\"https:\/\/independentwrestling.tv\/promotion\/On-Point-Wrestling\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>On Point<\/strong><\/a>, H2O, and <strong>Combat Zone Wrestling (CZW)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>But since December of 2020, following G-Raver&#8217;s near-miraculous return to pro wrestling after a serious arm injury, the two have been on a blood feud of the most personal vengeance. But now the pair are the unlikely duo that has finally ended the reign of Los Masizos, bringing the GCW Tag Team titles back to the U.S. The GCW Tag Team titles originally began as the Jersey Championship Tag Team titles in 1999, before being rebranded when JCW became GCW in 2015.
