5 Ups & 4 Downs From AEW Dark (Aug 11)

2. Gunn Club vs. M'Badu and Shawn Dean

A glacially-paced tag that revolved largely around a hoss-off between Billy Gun and M'Badu, the well-built debutant from Nigeria. Shawn Dean was worked over early, leading to the big lads getting stuck into each other, before Billy took the heat prior to the Gunn Club's comeback. Austin ended up scoring the pinfall with his hip toss neckbreaker.

It's good that AEW is increasingly presenting Austin as the focus of this tandem. Still, this match was entirely uninteresting. For now, though, it's all about getting the younger Gunn as many reps as possible.
