Billy and Colten Gunn of The Gunn Club vs. Kal Herro & Liam Gray (AEW Tag Team Debut) on AEW Dark

Herro had a fanny pack during the AEW Dark match, and The Gunn Club had a problem with the accessory. Billy Gunn started the match with some good wrist control, followed by a shoulder tackle.

Billy effortlessly broke Herro's back hold with a mild torque of the hips. Colten Gunn tagged in and delivered a stiff clothesline. He hooked the far leg and got a two-count. The Gunn Club looked really methodical tonight as they controlled the match.

Papa Gunn wasn't in a good mood though, as he came in and casually dropped Kal with a big boot. Colten came in next but ate a few kicks that helped Herro make the tag to Gray.

Liam came in hot and executed two dropkicks on Colten. He had a special gift for Billy Gunn on the outside as he hit the ropes for a tope suicida. Billy, however, moved out of the way, and Liam Gray took a nasty bump. Even Billy Gunn had a look of concern on his face. Gray landed on his head, but he was rolled back into the ring.

Colten hit the Colt 45 for the win. Billy Gunn got on top of Gray to say a few words, and we assume that he must have checked up on the wrestler.

Result: Billy and Colten Gunn of The Gunn Club def. Kal Herro & Liam Gray on AEW Dark

Grade: C
