One of the factions that receives a lot of hate from fans in the Jacksonville-based promotion is Bullet Club Gold. One of the key members of said faction is the son of WWE Hall of Famer Billy Gunn, .
Last night on Dynamite, The Gunns were featured almost throughout the show. The former AEW World Tag Team Champions were in a tag team match as well. They wrestled former WWE Superstars, the Bollywood Boyz. The Gunns made quick work of their opponents and picked up the win in a matter of seconds.
After the match, Austin Gunn grabbed a microphone and had a message for the AEW World Heavyweight and one-half of the ROH World Tag Team Champions, Maxwell Jacob Friedman. The Gunns are set to challenge Friedman and a partner of his choosing for the ROH World Tag Team Championship at the Buy-In of the Full Gear pay-per-view.
While sending a stern warning to MJF, Gunn suggested that the Salt of The Earth would pick one of the fat people in the crowd. As a result of that comment, Tony Khan and AEW management seemed to have fined Gunn for body-shaming the audience. He claims he was fined $500.
After being fined, Austin Gunn took to Twitter to claim that the fine didn’t hurt him as much.
“got fined 500$ for speaking my mind about what I thought about the fans tonight it’s ok, I’m rich plus, i’ll make it back when I get that POV bonus for stripping MJF of the ROH Tag Team Titles ??see you at #AEWFullGear,” Austin Gunn tweeted.
