Lee: “‘Did IMPACT offer us a contract’?”

Parker: “Um, you know, we uh..”

Lee: “There was a deal on the table.”

Parker: “There was some talks. We had talks all over the place. Free agency was actually a lot of fun. It’s scary at first but it was a lot of fun.”

Explaining why they go by 2.0 in AEW, The former NXT talents said:

Lee: “The reason, truth be told, Tony Khan liked 2point0.”

Parker: “And another part of it too is like we went through so many different changes in a short amount of time. Like different names and all these kind of things so it’s just like you know what? Let’s just get back to us.”

Lee: “And that’s who we are. We’re 2point0.”

Parker and Lee notably wrestled Darby Allin and Sting in a tornado tag match on the August 18 edition of AEW Dynamite. The team have been picking up wins on AEW Dark in recent weeks.
