The tag team known as 2.0, Jeff Parker and Matt Lee (fka Matt Martel and Chase Parker of Ever-Rise), have signed AEW contracts.

Chris Jericho revealed on the latest edition of his “Talk Is Jericho” podcast that 2.0 have signed AEW deals. AEW have not confirmed the deals as of this writing, and 2.0 have also not commented on signing contracts with the company.
