Top AEW faction gets a new member

One of AEW's top babyface factions added a new member. After weeks of speculation, Ace Austin finally joined The Bang Bang Gang on the latest episode of Collision.

This past May, it was reported that The Ace Of Spades was set to finish up with TNA, concluding his six-year stint with the promotion. Following his exit, Austin continued to ply his trade on the independents, performing in companies like Pro Wrestling Revolver, Revolution Pro Wrestling, and MLP, to name a few. He made his All Elite Wrestling debut last month, wrestling his first match for the brand against Ricochet on Collision, and it was announced soon afterward that the former X-Division Champion had signed with AEW.

Following Ace's All Elite arrival, fans began speculating about the star potentially joining The Bang Bang Gang, especially given the 28-year-old's history with the Bullet Club and Jay White. This week's episode of Collision finally saw the former ABC member teaming up with Austin Gunn and Juice Robinson. The latter duo discussed their recent losses and revealed they had been talking with The Switchblade, who suggested the group replenish their ranks, leading to the "Inevitable" Ace Austin officially joining the faction.

It remains to be seen if Ace will be the difference maker The Bang Bang Gang needs, and if he can help the stable reclaim championship gold in AEW.
