The reigning AEW World Trios Champions have been absent in recent weeks, but Billy Gunn is hopeful they will return soon.
AEW World Trios Champions The Acclaimed and Billy Gunn have been absent from AEW programming since the November 8 episode of AEW Dynamite. There, they were taken out by The Devil’s masked attackers. Since then, updates on their status have been few and far between.
Gunn was asked about The Acclaimed’s absence and whether they would return soon during an appearance on A2TheK podcast. (H/t Jeremy Lambert of Fightful for the transcription).
“I would hope so. I’ve never been taken out this long,” Billy Gunn said. “I think there is some stuff going on. I think we’ll be back, we should be back, everyone is healed up and everybody is good. They have the tournament going on right now so I don’t want to get our coming back lost in that shuffle.
“I want to come back and find out who all the dark-dressed and masked guy is and just ruin their lives. That’s our plan. Me and the kids have a funny thing, we have team meetings all the time. Max finally got an iPhone so we can all FaceTime each other. We still see each other and have our team meetings of what to do. Hopefully, we’ll be back soon.”
As of this writing, there is no word on when The Acclaimed and Billy Gunn will return to AEW programming.
WrestleZone will have coverage of AEW Collision as it airs on December 9.
