The former DX member has totally reinvented himself in AEW, as he has distanced himself from his own children, Austin and Colten Gunn, and aligned himself with the AEW Tag Team Champions The Acclaimed.
Since doing so, he has been rechristened as “Daddy A**” and has been garnering reactions from the crowd that wouldn’t sound out of place in Billy’s run as a member of WWE’s famed Attitude Era.
One person who has taken notice of this is Ric Flair, who spoke highly of Billy Gunn on his podcast To Be The Man, where he also credited how good he looks in the ring despite being a thirty-plus-year veteran of the wrestling business.
Flair also spoke highly of Gunn on a personal level, stating that he has spent a lot of time with the former WWE Intercontinental Champion and is extremely happy for his success:
Billy Gunn has got one major enemy in AEW in the form of Swerve Strickland
One of the most talked about matches going into the upcoming Full Gear pay-per-view is the AEW Tag Team Championship match between The Acclaimed and Swerve In Our Glory. It will be the third time the two teams will have fought over the titles since All Out.
However, one rivalry that has grown substantially in the midst of everything is the very real hatred between Billy Gunn and Swerve Strickland, with the latter accusing Gunn of cheating to help The Acclaimed keep hold of their gold.
The feud escalated to the point where Strickland attempted to cut off Billy’s fingers on an episode of Rampage, something that Swerve’s partner Keith Lee did not look happy about.
Do you think Billy Gunn will get involved this Saturday at AEW Full Gear? Let us know in the comments section down below!
