Folks, if you thought AEW was just playing around in the sandbox, think again. They’ve been scooping up the crème de la crème of the wrestling world faster than a kid at an ice cream stand. Hot on the heels of snagging stars like Will Ospreay, Kazuchika Okada, and Mercedes Mone, AEW is about to reel in another big fish—or should I say, big guns.
That’s right, the dynamic duo of Alex Shelley and Chris Sabin, better known as the Motor City Machine Guns, are revving their engines and heading toward AEW territory. According to the folks over at Bodyslam.net, it’s almost a done deal, just dotting the i’s and crossing the t’s.
These guys are no rookies. With nine tag team championships under their belts from all over the wrestling map—AAW, Deadlock Pro, GCW, New Japan, Ring of Honor, and TNA—they’ve got more titles than a royal family. And let’s not forget their solo acts, with each snagging the X-Division Title multiple times and even holding the TNA World Heavyweight Championship once apiece.
Their history with AEW isn’t just yesterday’s news either. Remember back at All Out 2022? Shelley and Sabin joined forces with Jay Lethal for a high-octane showdown against Wardlow and FTR’s own Cash Wheeler and Dax Harwood. Sure, they didn’t grab the win, but they left a mark harder than a tattoo artist on a caffeine buzz.
So, what does this mean for AEW? Well, let’s just say the tag team scene is about to get a serious turbo boost. With the Motor City Machine Guns on the roster, we’re talking about elevating the whole game. The excitement? Off the charts. The competition? Better buckle up.
Keep your eyes peeled and your wrestling belts ready, because when Shelley and Sabin roll into AEW, it’s going to be like a rock concert meets a monster truck rally. And that, my friends, is something you don’t want to miss.
