So Now We Know Why The AssBoys Won The Belts…

Tony Khan has signed the AEW Tag Team Champions The Gunns to new contracts.

This week’s episode of AEW Dynamite featured a controversial main event that left a lot of fans unhappy as Austin and Colten Gunn beat The Acclaimed to win the AEW World Tag Team Championships.


The title change was a surprise as many fans weren’t expecting it as The Acclaimed has been protected in recent months and is one of the most over acts in the entire promotion.

The Deal​

Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful Select reported today that both Austin and Colten have re-signed with the promotion and will remain with them for the foreseeable future, although specific details of the terms were not given. Fightful was able to confirm that they have signed multi-year deals with AEW.

Austin signed with AEW in January 2020 while Coten was never given an official ‘All Elite’ announcement when he joined his father, Billy, and brother, Austin, on television.


Although not confirmed, it’s likely All Elite Wrestling will book a rematch between the two tag teams for the gold at AEW’s next pay-per-view event, Revolution, which takes place on March 5.

Would’ve been a great pickup for NXT tbh.

They’re ready to be developmental champs, not main roster champs but they played they cards like a mofo so salute to them

They’re nothing but transitional champs for FTR

Change for the sake of change. The title change had nothing to do with WWE's yearly Wrestlemania momentum since nothing AEW can do would stop it, but it had everything to do with trying to create some interest to counter their decreasing ratings. The fact that the fans visibly and verbally showed their hatred over the switch shows that Tony made a big mistake. The Acclaimed have been losing a bit of steam recently, but not enough to warrant a title change o a random ass episode of Dynamite.

was WWE or any other promotion after them?

Speaking on the Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz, Tony Khan said he’s consistently approached by talent who claim WWE are speaking to them.

“I can’t really comment on what their (WWE) internal struggles, internal strife’s are because I don’t work there and I’m not there. I can only speak to the challenges we’ve had.
“I got a lot of wrestlers come to me and allege that WWE reached out to them to tamper with their contracts and ask them to break their contracts. I can’t confirm that specifically. I can only tell you what the wrestlers have come to me and said.”

I didn’t think it was possible for TK’s markdom to jump the shark bending over backwards for the AssBoys?!?

if tony khan is willing to make questionable decisions just for the sake of not losing these uninteresting ass nikkas to wwe imagine what kinda leverage a top star is going to have over him

It is quite the stretch to say they won the tag belts just so TK could resign them.

Well he let Cody go and sided with the Elite who currently can't draw flies to shyt over Punk so who really knows with him?

 

[TheGreatShowtime]

The Ass Boys have improved a lot over the last two years, but I'm still annoyed they got the titles before some of the other teams in AEW.
