Billy Gunn Returns as “Bad Ass” for One Last Shot at AEW Trios Titles
After a heartbreaking loss to House of Black for the AEW Trios titles last month, Billy Gunn announced his retirement from professional wrestling. Feeling like he let his team, The Acclaimed, down, Gunn left his boots in the ring as a symbolic gesture of his departure.
However, his former tag team partners, Anthony Bowens and Max Caster, refused to let Gunn walk away. They continued to carry his boots as a reminder of the belief he had in them. And it seems their faith paid off.
During the August 23 episode of AEW Dynamite, The Acclaimed called out House of Black, expecting a three-on-two assault. But to their surprise, the lights went out, and when they came back on, Daddy Ass, Billy Gunn, made his triumphant return!
AEW on TV’s Twitter account captured the electric moment, showing Daddy Ass going straight for House of Black.
But it wasn’t just a one-time appearance for Gunn. In a fiery promo, he revealed that he had changed his mind about retirement. Watching House of Black assault his legacy convinced him to come back for one more shot at the AEW Trios titles.
However, this time, it wouldn’t be the fun-loving, scissoring Daddy Ass we’d be seeing. Gunn announced that he would be returning as the “Bad Ass” for this high-stakes match at Wembley Stadium.
“One more time! It’s all or nothing! Wembley Stadium in front of 80,000,” exclaimed Billy Gunn during his promo.
This unexpected twist has left fans buzzing with excitement for the upcoming match. The Bad Ass persona is synonymous with Gunn’s success in the wrestling industry, and it will be thrilling to see him bring that energy back to the ring.
The AEW Trios titles have become one of the most prestigious championships in the company, and House of Black has proven to be a formidable force. But with the return of the Bad Ass, The Acclaimed’s chances of reclaiming the titles have never looked better.
Don’t miss this epic showdown between The Acclaimed and House of Black at Wembley Stadium this weekend. The stakes are high, and the energy is sure to be off the charts!
