62-Year-Old WWE Hall Of Famer Forced To Pull Double Duty In AEW
A 62-year-old WWE Hall of Famer has been forced to wrestle twice in one night for AEW.
Dynamite aired live from Orlando, Florida, on January 21st with several huge matches taking place. Swerve Strickland pushed himself towards another shot at the AEW World Championship as he picked up a win over Kevin Knight. There was bad news for the Timeless Love Bombs as Toni Storm and Mina Shirakawa suffered a defeat to Megan Bayne and Penelope Ford, thanks to some help from elsewhere.
Kenny Omega competed in his first singles match since All In Texas as he defeated The Don Callis Family’s Josh Alexander. But there was only one star that fans in attendance left talking about, and it’s one that viewers watching at home won’t have seen at all.
Ex-WWE Champion Billy Gunn Back In Action For AEW
Billy Gunn had not competed in an AEW ring since May 2024, but when he did, he was forced into double duty. Severe winter storms forced AEW to cancel its planned live Collision on January 24th, with the company taping that show after Dynamite went off the air.
Before Dynamite began, however, the WWE Hall of Famer teamed up with his son Austin Gunn, as well as Brady Booker and Elijah Drago, to win an eight-man tag team match. But Billy Gunn’s night was not over.
On the Collision show that was taped after Dynamite, Billy Gunn was back in the ring again with Austin, this time to face the considerably tougher challenge of Kyle Fletcher and Konosuke Takeshita. Fans can wait until Collision airs to find out who won that match, although it might not make too much of a leap of faith to make an assumption, but it was Billy Gunn trending on social media after the show, as he proved without a doubt, he really does still have it.
