Best wishes to AEW star Austin Gunn

Austin Gunn is one-half of the former AEW World Tag Team Champions, The Gunns, alongside his brother Colten Gunn. The duo signed with All Elite Wrestling in 2020 and have since been ever-present in the promotion's tag team division, climbing their way to the top.

They started in the promotion as the Gunn Club alongside their father and a former member of DX, Billy Gunn. They were allies with The Acclaimed for a while before the group exploded, and Billy Gunn joined The Acclaimed. The Gunns would later defeat their former allies to win their first-ever AEW World Tag Team Championship.

However, The Gunns haven't been seen on AEW television since All In 2025. Despite their absence, the promotion recently posted their best wishes for Austin Gunn on social media, as he celebrates his birthday today. The younger son of Billy Gunn turns 30 as All Elite Wrestling wished their former champion.

"Happy Birthday! @theaustingunn," the post read.

Former AEW Tag Team Champions Missing From Television Due to Injury

The Gunns returned to All Elite Wrestling at All In: Texas, where they helped out their ally, Juice Robinson. However, just weeks after coming back from a five-month absence, the former champions are off television again.

Colten Gunn suffered an injury during his match on Collision last month, which has kept the team away from television. They were initially supposed to be a part of the Tag Team Eliminator Tournament for deciding the challengers for the World Tag Team Championship at Forbidden Door, but had to be removed following Colten's injury.

The Gunns' stable, The Bang Bang Gang, haven't had great luck with injuries recently. The entire faction was out for weeks before Juice Robinson and The Gunns returned at All In. Currently, The Gunns find themselves on the sidelines due to Colten's injury, joining another stablemate, Jay White, on the shelf.
