After a few weeks of teasing it, the Acclaimed and Bullet Club Gold have joined forces to form a new faction.

Dubbed the Bang Bang Scissor Gang, last night's AEW Collision saw Jay White and Austin and Colten Gunn agree to come together with Max Caster, Anthony Bowens, and Billy Gunn.

How long this faction lasts, that remains to be seen, although the two groups have united on the basis that they've both previously been targeted by the Undisputed Kingdom. Of course, as part of the whole Devil saga, Jay White and the Acclaimed were left laying by the Devil and his goons; the Devil since revealed as Adam Cole, who has Wardlow, Roderick Strong, Mike Bennett, and Matt Taven at his side.

Last week's AEW Dynamite saw Switchblade and the Gunns defeated Brian Cage and the Gates of Agony to become the new ROH Trios Champions, whilst the Acclaimed and Daddy Ass are the current AEW Trios Champions.

One way this could go, is for this union to be short-lived and for the two sets of Trios Titles to be unified, but that's merely spitballing on your writer's part.
