Ever-Rise to make AEW debut in six-man tag match at Homecoming

The team formerly known as Ever-Rise in NXT will make their AEW debut at Wednesday’s Homecoming, announced via a promo on social media Tuesday night.

Going by 2.0, Matt Lee & Jeff Parker will team with indie standout Daniel Garcia against Jon Moxley, Eddie Kingston and Darby Allin as they said they wanted to call out the three baddest wrestlers on the roster.

Lee and Parker were released by WWE in June along with 12 other NXT and 205 Live talents. They had been in the company since 2019.

Garcia has been in AEW before as he’s worked four matches on Dark, both in singles and tag team action.

Here’s the card for Wednesday’s return to Jacksonville, Florida, as of now:

  • Cody Rhodes vs. Malakai Black
  • TNT Champion Miro vs. Lee Johnson title match
  • Jon Moxley, Eddie Kingston and Darby Allin vs. 2.0 and Daniel Garcia
  • Five Labours of Jericho, pt. 3: Chris Jericho vs. Juventud Guerrera where Jericho must win with a top rope move
  • Christian Cage vs. The Blade
  • The Bunny vs. Leyla Hirsch in a no. 1 contender’s match for the NWA Women’s title
