AEW kicked off its Chicago residency on Wednesday with an exciting taping at the Aragon Ballroom, followed by another taping on Saturday at the same venue. One of the featured matches was a fatal four-way tag team contest where the victorious team was promised a $200,000 prize. The competing teams included Big Bill & Brian Keith, Guns (Austin Gunn & Colten Gunn), Agony’s Gates (Bishops of Count & Tor Liona), and CRU (Action Andretti & Lio Rush).
Unfortunately, the match ended on a concerning note for the Guns, as Colten appeared to sustain a knee injury during the bout. Photos from the event show Colten being assisted by medical personnel. Details about the severity of the injury or the match outcome remain unclear, making it uncertain if Colten will be sidelined for an extended period.
This marked the Guns’ first match in five months, having last competed on the February 11th episode of Dynamite. Their absence since then makes this injury particularly disappointing, and if severe, it could impact their future in the company. AEW fans are advised to stay tuned for updates on Colten’s condition.
Fan Take: This news is significant for AEW fans because the Guns are a high-energy tag team with a strong following, and any injury to them impacts the dynamic of AEW’s tag team division. Their potential absence could open opportunities for other teams but also leaves questions about the future direction of AEW’s tag team storylines.
