Chaos Project On How They Came Together: We Brainstormed Ideas, And Tony Khan Liked Our Connection

In wrestling, finding success can simply boil down to a popular adage: “If it isn’t broke, don’t fix it.”

AEW stars Serpentico and Luther of the Chaos Project recently appeared on Chris Jericho’s ‘Talk Is Jericho’ podcast and the odd-ball pairing shared the origin story of their tag team. Serpentico described how they just tried to think of ideas, tried them out and hoped for the best.

“I heard rumblings of ‘Hey, this might happen in the future but don’t get too excited, wrestling changes by the minute,’ Serpentico explained. “So, a few months ago they came up to me and they told us that they were putting us together in a match for Dark. And they wanted to see what we could do. So we brainstormed a few ideas, and that’s when the relationship of him [Luther] using me as a weapon came about.

“I’m usually the smallest guy in a match, right, so I’m not gonna lift anybody. But what if he can just toss me at people? That’s how it was born, just brainstorming ideas in the back, like if it works, it works, if it doesn’t, it doesn’t. We just tried different things, we’d come up with stuff and try it out. They were talking about trying it out because he was ‘evil’ and I was ‘evil’.”

Jericho then recalled AEW President Tony Khan’s awareness of Serpentico and Luther’s connection as the reason why he kept them together as an on-screen duo.

”I remember what Tony was saying about putting you together in a match, and he just saw the connection between you two.”
