The Gunns: We Get Thrown Into The Deep End Constantly And We Always Swim
Austin & Colten Gunn discuss their upcoming AEW World Tag Team Championship defense.
At AEW Revolution, The Gunns (Austin & Colten Gunn) will defend the AEW World Tag Team Championships against Jeff Jarrett/Jay Lethal, The Acclaimed, and Orange Cassidy/Danhausen. This will be Austin & Colten’s first defense of the titles that they won them back on the February 8 episode of AEW Dynamite.
In a new interview with WrestleZone, Colten Gunn went on a rant about how The Gunns are being put in a four way tag match for their very first title defense.
“It’s typical of how we get treated in AEW. We’re the best second generation wrestlers, we’re the fast growing and we just get thrown into the deep end constantly and it’s sink or swim, and we always swim. We always come out on top. So you can put twenty teams in there, it does matter, we’re gonna win. But it’s typical. Like our first title defense, we can lose it and we’re not even gonna get pinned. It’s ridiculous but at the same time, I don’t care because we’re gonna win. Spoiler alert, we’re gonna keep the titles.”
Austin Gunn went on a similar rant and gave his thoughts on The Acclaimed and the duo of Jeff Jarrett/Jay Lethal.
“Same mindset. Me and Colten have always been thrown in the deep end whether it’s our first TV match or our first in-ring live promo. Everytime we’re thrown in the deep end, everybody wants us to fail, but then we turn around and shove it right in their face when we succeed. Like Colten said, it’s so typical of how we get treated. We’re not going against one tag team, we’re going against three and we don’t even have to get pinned to lose them? Whatever. I don’t care. When it comes to The Acclaimed and my dad, we already beat them once. When it comes to a legend like Jeff Jarrett and Jay Lethal, eh, I don’t know, we might have something there. If it comes down to two [teams], I’d be happy.”
