The show will feature the daughter of Pat Benatar, the daughter of David Hasselhoff, the daughter of Martin Lawrence, the son of Shaquille O’Neal, the son of Ray Parker Jr., the son of Billy Bob Thornton, and the daughter of Eazy E.”

Austin Gunn signed with AEW in January of 2020. He was recently called out by fans for some old tweets where he used racial slurs. Gunn gave a very direct apology for the indiscretion.

He made his AEW Dynamite debut in early November. He’s been in a stable with his brother, Colten Gunn, and his father. He most recently acted as the third to Colten and Billy Gunn in their match with Sting and Darby Allin on the December 1 Dynamite.
