The two appeared on Casual Conversations With The Wrestling Classic where they discussed being paired on screen and more. You can see some highlights below:

Grace On Working With Stacks On Screen:

“I’m very happy that we’re working together. Because the thing that [as] wrestlers we’re so lucky to have is that wrestling doesn’t feel like a job. When you love what you do, it doesn’t feel like work. And now to add in an element of doing what you love with somebody you love, it’s like a double win.

“So I mean, I feel like every single day is just like, the best day ever. We’re super lucky, super blessed and I’m so thankful that we’ve been put in this position, because it’s fun and it’s natural, and it’s real.”

Grace On the Difference Between Them On TV and Off:

“I feel like [the answer is] nothing. I want — like, it’s us. It’s us and when we’re out there, it feels real. I feel different in the ring when he’s in the ring with me, or he’s in the ring and I’m there or vice versa. It adds a different meaning to what I’m doing, why I’m doing it. It just hits your emotions differently.”

Stacks On If They Pitched the Idea Of Being Paired On Screen:

“I think like the big thing is, I don’t think we directly pitched for it. We we’ve thrown out ideas and stuff over time, but I think people [have] just seen like our dynamic, either through Twitch or promos at the — you know, social videos and all that. And it was inevitable, because I don’t know we just get in a room together and we just — you know, it’s the banter.”
