TEAM INFORMATION
Team Disposition/Alignment: Babyface
Team Gimmick: Opposites attract. Raven Roberts is as driven and fiery as she is chaotic in the ring. Rex McAllister is a levelheaded, cool as ice paragon. After joining as late additions to the 2018 Tag Team Grand Prix, the two found themselves growing closer than ever, leading to a relationship neither expected. But they are competitors first and foremost, pushing each other to win and achieve more everyday.
Current Status: Four years after their first (and only) Unified Tag Team Championship reign, Raven "Fire" Roberts and her husband Rex "Ice" McAllister reunited as a unit on the 8/17/2024 edition Friday Night Dynasty to once again take the tag team division by storm.
As they face new challenges and opponents, Fire and Ice realize they must also confront their own personal challenges as singles stars at some point as they acknowledged their initial returns have yielded a mixed bag. With their signature blend of intensity, passion, and skill, they aim to prove once more their run in 2018, 2019-2020 together wasn't their last and that they are still one of the greatest tag teams in the business today. It’s time to reclaim their throne.
Theme Music: 'I2I' by Magnolia Park
Entrance:
‘I2I’ by Magnolia Park hits To cheers from the fans as the left half of the stage is filled with orange and red smoke while the right side is filled in blue and white smoke.
Rex McAllister and Raven Roberts walk out side by side, and Rex takes Raven by the hand and spins her into himself, catching her in a dip. The pair smile at one another before slowly turn to look out at the cheering crowd.
Rex pulls Raven back to her feet and they begin walking down the ramp, high-fiving several fans as they go.
When they get to the ring, Rex slides in as Raven walks up the steps. He sits on the second rope as Raven climbs through, and Raven pauses to give him a kiss halfway through the ropes. Rex then crosses the ring to the far hard can turnbuckle where he climbs to the top and puts a fist in the air. Raven walks to the middle of the hard can of the ring where she steps on the second rope with one foot and crossed her other leg over the top rope, posing with her arms out. The pair take in the moment before taking their corner.

In-Ring Attires: Rex wears traditional old-school short wrestling tights and matching boots, usually in black or dark blue. Raven wears a top and trunks set with high boots usually in red, black, or blue. for marquee matches they will sometimes wear matching orange and blue gear.
Entrance Attires:
Rex (TV) - Rex will step out typically in one of his ‘Rex Effect’ t-shirts with the sleeves cut off.
Raven (TV) - Raven walks to the ring in a cropped black leather jacket with a pair of wings bedazzled into the back.
Team Gear (Marquee Matches) - For special events and matches, they will come to the ring in their matching Fire and Ice track jackets.
Segment Attires: Regular street clothes (Blue jeans and regular t-shirt or merch for Rex. Fitted jeans and a comfortable but fashionable top or a business casual dress for Raven.)
Tendency to Cheat: Never. The only time they would cheat is to reciprocate an opponent cheating to even things out.
Motivations: To reach the top of their profession.
Passion – they both share a love of the ring that keeps them coming back
Glory – they are both driven competitors who have a desire to win and reach the top
Love - Simple as it may sound, their relationship was born as a tag team and eventually led to marriage. Both would give anything to support the other
IN-RING INFORMATION
Wrestling Debut: The two have their own singles debuts but the team first debuted in the 2018 Tag Team Grand Prix
Strengths:
Rex - Strength, stamina, in-ring awareness at all times - always thinks a move or three ahead even in the moment, overall experience in the sport. He’s the powerhouse of the team.
Raven - Agile and graceful, Raven is a submission and grappling specialist with an acrobatic side, tactically minded but passionate and usually looking aggressively to finish things off. She is the speedy risk taker of the team.
Together - Unique level of chemistry for two who operate differently. Understanding of each other’s movements in the ring to stay on the same page coming from years of living and training together both as singles and as a unit. In many ways their opposite approaches fill the gap in each other’s weaknesses.
Weaknesses:
Rex - looks too often on the positive side of each experience without feeling the need to acknowledge his true emotions, especially when he fails but deep down he hates to fail. His need to try and help others in need realize their full potential can sometimes be at the expense of his own success, but he maintains that it's just how he's built and he feels life should be.
Raven - Often attempts to take on more than she should, her passion drives her to never quit even if it’s to her detriment and can go too far with the risks she takes. Failure is nearly equivalent to death in her mind, so when things seem bleak she will fight even more desperately and erratically to survive.
