Bringing them in. According to a report from Bodyslam.net, a highly decorated tag team will be making their way to AEW soon.
Alex Shelley and Chris Sabin, collectively known as the Motor City Machine Guns, became free agents in early April after their contracts with TNA expired following the March 23rd television tapings. While there were hopes within TNA that the duo would re-sign, reports indicated they were expected to land in AEW, which has now been confirmed.
The Motor City Machine Guns have held the TNA World Tag Team Championships on three occasions and are former Ring of Honor World Tag Team Champions. Both Sabin and Shelley have also held the TNA X-Division Championship, with Sabin being a 10-time champion and Shelley a one-time champion. Additionally, they are former TNA World Heavyweight Champions, with Sabin holding the title twice and Shelley once. The duo has also captured the IWGP Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Championships in New Japan Pro Wrestling and the GCW World Tag Team Championships.
While the deal between AEW and The Guns is not finalized yet, sources have confirmed that the decision has been made, and a contract will be worked out soon.
Check out what the duo can do:
Editor’s Opinion:
This is a great acquisition for AEW, as the Motor City Machine Guns are two of the most talented wrestlers in the world. Although they will probably get lost in the shuffle very quickly, they still will be making a lot of money, and deserve it, because they have paid their dues.
