The Gunn Club is back on AEW TV.

This week’s episode of Dynamite from Gateway Center Arena at College Park in Atlanta, Georgia featured a segment with the new AEW World Tag Team Champions The Hurt Syndicate.

MVP cut a promo on the victory of Shelton Benjamin and Bobby Lashley and told the crowd to get on their feet for the new champions. He then praised the Private Party and claimed that they were in the wrong place at the wrong time.

The former WWE star also teased an announcement but before he could go any further, The Gunn Club’s music hit and the duo of Austin and Colten Gunn made their way to the ring.

When MVP asked them what their business was, Austin introduced the duo as former tag team champions to The Hurt Syndicate. He claimed that they’ve been waiting years to get their rematch for the tag titles.

Colten then claimed that it’s time for the Gunns to take back their titles and in response, MVP granted them a title match for next week’s episode of Dynamite.

The duo of Austin and Colten Gunn have not wrestled on AEW programming since last September. Austin Gunn had suffered an injury during their last match with The Cage of Agony. His brother had also been pulled from TV in his absence.

The duo of Austin and Colten Gunn have not been seen on AEW TV in the last few months and reports suggest there is good reason for it.

The brothers, collectively known as Gunn Club last wrestled together during the September 14 episode of AEW Collision where they teamed up with Juice Robinson.

Hangman Page took credit for taking out Austin Gunn during the October 23 episode of Dynamite. He was confronted by the rest of the Bang Bang Gang including Colten in the segment but the second generation star has not been seen on TV since then.

Fightful Select is now reporting that multiple people on AEW roster have confirmed that Austin Gunn has actually been sidelined with an injury. Colten has been kept off TV because of his brother’s status.

The duo also provided a brief update on their status during a recent Highspots Virtual Signing. Austin claimed that the former AEW tag champions will be ‘back soon.’ He also asked fans to continue supporting the company during their absence.

Austin is not the only Bang Bang Gang member who is sidelined with an injury. Juice Robinson was recently replaced in the ongoing Continental Classic tournament after suffering a leg injury.

Jay White is the only member of the faction that is currently active on the roster. He is scheduled to challenge Jon Moxley for the AEW World Title at the Worlds End PPV in a fatal four-way match.

AEW Tag Team Champions The Gunn Club (Colten Gunn & Austin Gunn) put their titles on the line in a fatal 4-way bout at the AEW Revolution pay-per-view event from the Chase Center in San Francisco, California. 

The other teams involved in the match were The Acclaimed (Anthony Bowens & Max Caster), Jeff Jarrett & Jay Lethal, and Orange Cassidy & Danhausen.

The match saw everyone get in their spots early on. They brought in Singh for a staredown with Danhausen, who hit him in the nuts and Billy Gunn hit the fameasser. There was a near fall when Jarrett and Lethal used a weapon and hit Caste rin the face before Jarrett connected with the stroke. Caster threatened to hit Jarrett with the guitar. The Gunns went over with their finisher on Danhausen. 

Post-match, FTR made their return by laying out The Gunns, indicating a future title match. 

The Gunn Club defeated The Acclaimed on Dynamite: Championship Fight Night on February 8, 2023, in El Paso, Texas to win the titles. 

What are your thoughts on The Gunn Club retaining the AEW Tag Team Titles? Was this the right call by AEW officials? Sound off in the comment section.

Some AEW wrestlers may be getting a little too friendly with management if a recent tweet from Colten Gunn is to be believed.

Gunn made his debut for All Elite Wrestling in June 2020, accompanying his father Billy Gunn but would not wrestle until the November 11, 2020, edition of AEW Dynamite.

In August of this year, Colten and his brother Austin turned on their Hall of Fame Father and are now part of The Firm.

Schmoozing

Despite being members of the AEW roster for over two years now, the Gunn Club are yet to hold tag-team gold.

When Austin Gunn took to Twitter to claim Jungle Boy Jack Perry wants to be a Gunn, the former AEW World Tag Champion fired back, saying he prefers being booked on Pay-Per-View.

This got a response from Colten, who argued that he and Austin would also get better bookings if they were up until 6 AM with AEW’s EVPs the Young Bucks.

While Colten did not directly state that Jungle Boy is someone who is schmoozing with the higher-ups, it is certainly the impression he gave.

Jungle Boy competed at AEW’s most recent Full Gear Pay-Per-View, defeating his former tag team partner Luchasaurus in a Steel Cage match.

Jungle Boy

Joining AEW right at the beginning in 2019, it wouldn’t be until January 2020 that Jungle Boy would obtain his first win in the company.

Winning the AEW World Tag Titles in January of this year, Jurassic Express would lose the titles at June’s AEW Dynamite: Road Rager special and Christian Cage would turn on Jungle Boy.

Cage would recruit Luchasaurus in their feud, and the former WWE World Champion defeated Perry in seconds at September’s All Out Pay-Per-View.

It may soon be curtains for one AEW faction.

AEW certainly isn’t the only promotion that leans on stables. The likes of NJPW and Stardom are quite group-heavy as well. Even WWE has its share of factions such as The New Day and The Judgment Day.

One AEW faction, however, could very well be in the midst of a breakup.

Gunn Club Splitting From The Acclaimed?

There could be some trouble brewing between the Gunn Club and The Acclaimed.

During the special Blood & Guts edition of AEW Dynamite, Danhausen and FTR took on Max Caster & The Gunn Club. Anthony Bowens accidentally hit Austin Gunn with one of his crutches, costing Gunn Club the match.

Afterward, Austin & Colten Gunn were not happy with Bowens. Things got heated, which led to Billy Gunn shoving Austin down and appearing to side with The Acclaimed.

For weeks, The Gunn Club has hinted at not being aligned with The Acclaimed, who have been pandering to the crowd in babyface-like fashion.

In particular, Austin and Colten are not amused when being referred to as the “Ass Boys.” Bowens had been leading the crowd to sing “Ass Boys” while The Acclaimed’s theme would play.

He did not do so on Wednesday night.

Some lucky AEW fans got an extra special souvenir during last night’s taping of Dynamite and Rampage.

Last night’s taping took place at the Cable Dahmer Arena in Independence, Missouri and saw the promotion continue on the road to AEWxNJPW Forbidden Door on June 26.

Prior to the show going live, Austin Gunn said that he and the Gunn Club had written notes which had been left under the seats throughout the arena.

Shortly after Anthony Bowens of The Acclaimed shared a similar message, saying he and Max Caster had joined the Gunn Club with this idea.

The Gunn Club and The Acclaimed

Since The Acclaimed and the Gunns aligned, both groups have seen a rise in popularity, despite Anthony Bowens being unable to wrestle due to a knee injury.

The group has been riling up fans with their entrance, in which Caster performs his rap and the Gunn Club gets the name of the city wrong.

Bowens corrects them before doing his signature scissor taunt.

While neither team has captured the AEW World Tag Team Championships yet, both teams are quickly proving themselves to be all-rounders in Tony Khan’s promotion.

Both members of the Gunn Club and Max Caster competed in last night’s Casino Battle Royal, which was won by Kyle O’Reilly.

AEW has added two matches to tomorrow night’s (Aug. 25) episode of Dynamite.

There have now been two trios matches announced for the card. Jon Moxley and Eddie Kingston will team with Darby Allin to take on The Wingmen. Also, The Factory will meet The Gunn Club with Paul Wight serving as the special guest commentator.

Here’s an updated look at what to expect from this week’s edition of AEW Dynamite.

• Lucha Bros vs. The Varsity Blondes

The tag team match between the Lucha Bros and The Varsity Blondes has major implications in the tag team division. The winner will go on to meet Jurassic Express for a shot at The Young Bucks for the AEW World Tag Team Titles.

Austin Gunn and Colten Gunn of The Gunn Club have been impressing people with their performance in AEW. However, due to their heritage, a lot of people wonder why the duo did not start their career in WWE instead.

The two AEW stars recently appeared on Talk Is Jericho podcast where they talked about a number of things and explained why they did not try to get a job with WWE before joining AEW.

Talking about their decision to not join the WWE PC, Austin Gunn revealed the advice they got from their father and WWE Hall Of Famer Billy Gunn about it:

“This came up, and I was like, ‘What do you think about the Performance Center?’ He goes, ‘I don’t want you to lose your love for wrestling that you have right now by going there and then them having you turn into that Performance Center, follow directions. you need to be this

Instead of me being just free spoken and just express myself naturally.’ So it was a discussion that we had, but we tried everything to not go there.”

Colten expanded on his brothers’ comments recalling how their father’s advice to them was to find themselves and develop a character first:

“I think the discussion was, if I remember it correctly, more of like, you can go there, but you need to go do your own thing for two to three years,” recalled The Gunn Club member, “And find out who you are and try to develop a character yourself or feel out the landscape

Before you just go straight to the Performance Center and they tell you what to be, as opposed to you know kind of what you are when you go in there and you have a little more confidence.”

Chris Jericho then recalled similar advice he gave to Davey Boy Smith Jr. in past. Jericho told him that WWE would still be there in a few years but he would gain a lot of life experience competing for different promotions.

Apart from this, The Gunn Club also talked about Billy Gunn’s Hall Of Fame induction alongside DX, the freedom they get in AEW and more.
