The new AEW duo of MCMG haven’t been seen on the independent circuit since August 2024, shortly before they joined the WWE roster.

The duo parted ways with WWE earlier this year amid a wave of company cuts. They signed with AEW over the summer and won their promotional debut just a few weeks back, beating The Swirl on an episode of Collision.

It hasn’t been confirmed yet who MCMG will face on Friday’s HOG show. The event will be streaming for free on House of Glory’s Youtube page.
