"What the hell just happened" - Twitter stunned with Billy Gunn's kidnapping segment on AEW Rampage

The wrestling world was shocked when Billy Gunn was kidnapped during the latest episode of AEW Rampage.

Keith Lee squashed Serpentico in seconds. Following the match, The AEW World Tag Team Champions, The Acclaimed, came out and asked Lee about Swerve Strickland. Tony Schiavone then mentioned that Billy Gunn is also missing since he left early due to a family emergency.

The Acclaimed was confused, Strickland then appeared on the Titantron and said he had kidnapped Billy Gunn. Strickland blamed Gunn for costing him and Lee the tag team titles and thus took Gunn hostage.

Swerve said that he is going to make sure that Gunn doesn't interfere in the rematch, and took a pair of pliers and seemingly cut Gunn's fingers.

Wrestling fans on Twitter were stunned by this sudden change in Swerve's character.
