One of the wrestling industry's top tag teams in the Motor City Machine Guns recently left TNA for the first time in four years. Alex Shelley and Chris Sabin returned to IMPACT/TNA during the pandemic, but when their contracts were due to expire they decided to shop themselves elsewhere. They were originally with the company from about 2006 until 2012 when they decided to try things out on their own.
Together, they've become one of the most decorated tag teams in wrestling history. Naturally, this means that every company will be vying for them in their division, including AEW. Reports surfaced last month that Shelley and Sabin were finalizing a deal with the five-year-old AEW but none of the parties involved have commented on the legitimacy of the report. Khan has, however, expressed that he'd"love" to see them in AEW full-time.
Will the Motor City Machine Guns Appear in AEW?"I can't say that for sure. I thought they were excellent here in 2022, when they appeared at All Out. That worked out really well, they were tremendous and they added a lot to the card. I loved having them here," Khan told Shak Wrestling."Originally, that spot was intended for The Briscoes. I was not able to use The Briscoes, I was not permitted to use The Briscoes in that situation.
