Austin & Colten Gunn make return on AEW Collision

Posted on by Bryan Rose

The Bang Bang Gang are a foursome again.

After Juice Robinson and Ace Austin scored the win over Daniel Garcia and Wheeler Yuta on Collision, Robinson motioned to Moxley that he wanted a Continental title match. Garcia and Yuta recovered and went in for the attack, but Austin & Colten Gunn came out for the save, officially reuniting with Robinson and Austin.

In a backstage interview posted after Collision, Austin Gunn said usually they have two words to say, but tonight we have four: The Gunns are back. Colten said that he may have ripped his patella in half, but he wasn’t going to wait nine months to a year to return to in-ring action as the boys needed him. Juice Robinson finished the promo, saying he beat Jon Moxley before and he would do it again.

It was reported last month that Colten had been cleared to return to in-ring action.

Colten Gunn had been out of action for months

Colten suffered the injury back in July, having just returned to the promotion in his first match since that February. Austin had made appearances with the Bang Bang Gang since then, but hadn’t wrestled a match since March when he participated in a 21-man Blackjack Battle Royal at AEW Revolution.

AEW confirms injury to former Tag Team Champion

Posted on by Josh Nason

In a four-way tag team match on this past Saturday’s AEW Collision, Colten Gunn of Gunn Club appeared to injure his knee but it took until Dynamite for it to be confirmed.

During Wednesday’s Dynamite, it was mentioned on commentary that the 34-year-old was indeed injured, preventing he and brother Austin from being part of the newly-announced eight team Tag Team title eliminator tournament.

The exact injury wasn’t revealed, nor a timetable for a return. Gunn grabbed at his knee after a jumping punch spot with Big Bill, rolled to the apron, and wasn’t involved or seen the rest of the match.

Gunn Club had just returned to aid Juice Robinson in his own return at this month’s All In.

Saturday’s four-way was the Gunns’ first match since this past February when they lost to reigning champions The Hurt Syndicate. It’s unknown why they missed nearly the entire first half of the year.

The two have wrestled just three times since mid-September 2024. They are former AEW Tag Team and Trios Champions in addition to being former ROH Six-Man Champions.

Gunn Club return vignette airs on AEW Dynamite

After a lengthy absence, the Gunn Club is on their way back to AEW.

During Wednesday’s Dynamite, a vignette aired showing Colten & Austin Gunn training, watching old clips of themselves on their phones and TV, and reflecting on their past successes. The 57-second clip ended with them running the ropes and the words “Gunns Up” which is their catchphrase.

Their return date was not revealed.

The brothers haven’t competed in AEW since the September 12th Collision when they and Juice Robinson defeated Brian Cage & The Gates of Agony. It was never explained on TV why the Gunns were gone other than Hangman Page claiming on a late-October Dynamite that he knocked out Austin so hard he forgot his name. Colten then attacked Page, but hasn’t been on TV since.

Fightful Select had previously reported their absence was due to an undisclosed injury to Austin.

Fellow Bang Bang Gang member Jay White returned to action nearly a month afterward after missing time due to a broken foot while Robinson broke his fibula in his first Continental Classic match in late-November.

The Gunns were AEW Tag Team Champions for 56 days in 2023, and held both the AEW Trios and ROH Six-Man titles in 2024.
