On March 10, 2021, the team announced it has joined the professional PVL.[4] They became the first-ever volleyball champions in a fully-professional league when they won the 2021 PVL Open Conference title.[5]

Chery's former mother team, Foton Tornadoes would be reformed in 2023 and is due to play alongside them in the 2023 Invitational Conference.[6]
