Spoilers for AEW Collision (Jan. 24) reveal Andrade El Idolo stripping down to a big pop, the surprise return of 62-year-old Billy Gunn, and Claudio Castagnoli defending the CMLL World Heavyweight Championship against Roderick Strong, with Willow Nightingale retaining the TBS title over Julia Hart among other match results from the Orlando tapings.
Billy Gunn, WWE Hall of Famer, left his boots in the ring following a loss to The House of Black during an AEW Collision match. The gesture suggests that Gunn may have decided to retire from professional wrestling, marking a significant development in his career. Gunn rose to fame as part of various tag teams in the WWF, winning multiple championships. It remains to be seen if this is indeed the end of Gunn's wrestling career.
Johnny TV (John Hennigan) made his return to AEW Rampage and attacked Billy Gunn after The Acclaimed and Gunn scored a win in a trios match. Hennigan previously competed in a few shows for the company in 2022 and had a successful run in MLW. There are rumors that he has signed with AEW going forward.
The Acclaimed and Daddy Ass received about ten minutes of booing from Chicago fans during AEW Rampage, but it was not directed at them. The heat was for Harley, and fans let Billy Gunn talk when he grabbed the microphone. The Acclaimed may not be champions or top merchandise sellers in AEW anymore, but they are still getting television time. It remains to be seen how AEW will edit the segment for television.
