The two were best friends as they went through school, which included participating in multiple sports such as wrestling, football, and baseball. While both could have gone into college to wrestle (Adam) or play football (Logan), the cousins instead, enrolled in the Cincinnati based Elite Pro Wrestling Training Camp, where they were trained by some of the best wrestlers from that region. Adam and Logan decided to pair up after there graduation from EPWT in 2010 and found themselves getting their first work with NEWera Wrestling. Day and Knight had a successful run in NEWera, battling for the tag team titles on a few occasions, albeit falling short in winning them. They parted ways with NEWera in 2013, right before the company closed its doors.

Upon rumors of Code Red Wrestling re-opening its doors, the duo spoke with Talon Wilkinson about making CRW their new home.
