The Brick City Boyz describe their AEW experience as surreal.
In March 2022, JCruz and Victor Chase made their AEW debuts on an episode of Dark, taking on The Gunn Club. Speaking with PWMania.com, they shared how the opportunity came about.
"We got in contact with the person who handles the booking. After the Super Bowl ended, we got the email saying that we could go to Orlando for the Dark tapings. Victor was next to me too, so I saw his full-fledged reaction. He thought I was lying till I showed him the email," JCruz said.
He added, "It was so surreal being there. We took it all in. The weather was amazing because we were there during the wintertime. They checked us out and we find out we were facing The Gunn Club. I couldn’t have asked for a better match."
The Brick City Boyz would return to AEW Dark in May for another match, this time against Brock Anderson and Lee Johnson.
Speaking about how wrestling has changed over the years, The Brick City Boyz, who have been teaming together for just under two years, noted that there are more opportunities to make a sustainable living today than twenty years ago.
JCruz: "There’s more opportunities now than 20 years ago. You’re able to make a sustainable living as a pro wrestler and not have to work for WWE."
Victor: "I feel like back then, people said they wanted to be in WWE because that was the mainstream company. But now there’s so many different companies. And it’s a great time to be a wrestler, because of that."
In addition to AEW, The Brick City Boyz perform for a number of promotions including Northeast Wrestling and Beyond. They are the reigning DAWG Tag Team Champions, having held the titles for almost exactly one year.
