One of the factions that receives a lot of hate from fans in the Jacksonville-based promotion is Bullet Club Gold. One of the key members of said faction is the son of WWE Hall of Famer Billy Gunn, Austin Gunn.
Last night on Dynamite, The Gunns were featured almost throughout the show. The former AEW World Tag Team Champions were in a tag team match as well. They wrestled former WWE Superstars, the Bollywood Boyz. The Gunns made quick work of their opponents and picked up the win in a matter of seconds.
After the match, Austin Gunn grabbed a microphone and had a message for the AEW World Heavyweight and one-half of the ROH World Tag Team Champions, Maxwell Jacob Friedman. The Gunns are set to challenge Friedman and a partner of his choosing for the ROH World Tag Team Championship at the Buy-In of the Full Gear pay-per-view.
While sending a stern warning to MJF, Gunn suggested that the Salt of The Earth would pick one of the fat people in the crowd. As a result of that comment, Tony Khan and AEW management seemed to have fined Gunn for body-shaming the audience. He claims he was fined $500.
After being fined, Austin Gunn took to Twitter to claim that the fine didn’t hurt him as much.
“got fined 500$ for speaking my mind about what I thought about the fans tonight it’s ok, I’m rich plus, i’ll make it back when I get that POV bonus for stripping MJF of the ROH Tag Team Titles ??see you at #AEWFullGear,” Austin Gunn tweeted.
Do you think The Gunns can become the new ROH World Tag Team Champions?
