The Motor City Machine Guns’ Talks with AEW Fell Through

The Motor City Machine Guns remain one of the most beloved tag teams in pro wrestling right now and they raised eyebrows after leaving TNA earlier this year. With rumors intensifying they might be WWE-bound, it appears that their talks with AEW fell through.

After departing from TNA, Chris Sabin and Alex Shelley, collectively known as the Motor City Machine Guns, have been in discussions with both AEW and WWE in recent months. AEW President Tony Khan has openly expressed interest in bringing the duo to AEW, emphasizing his desire to have the Machine Guns on the roster.

The situation took an intriguing turn when Sabin and Shelley appeared to give a farewell to the independent wrestling scene, fueling speculation about their next move. Their potential arrival in either AEW or WWE has sparked excitement among fans, who are eager to see where the iconic tag team will land.

PW Nexus has shed more light on the discussions between the Motor City Machine Gunsand AEW, with Cory Hays offering updates via Twitter. According to Hays, both Chris Sabin and Alex Shelley were in talks with AEW, and for a brief period, it seemed likely they would join Tony Khan’s promotion. However, the negotiations ultimately fell through.

“Both members of MCMG also had talks with AEW and for a short bit it seemed likely they would sign with Tony Khan’s promotion but those talks had fallen through.”

The report did not clarify the exact reason for the breakdown in talks but mentioned that WWE had previously extended a “better offer,” which likely influenced their decision. The situation leaves fans curious about where MCMG will ultimately land as speculation around their future continues.
