Ranking Every AEW Championship Reign Of 2023

16. The Gunns - AEW World Tag Team Championship

For a long time in wrestling, fans have been in an odd spot with heels. If characters manage to get under the skin of some of the more smarky fans, that should be an indication that they're doing something right... right?

To that end, the Gunns' shocking win of the AEW Tag Team titles could be considered good heel booking as people were not happy about them squirrelling the belts off the super-over Acclaimed.

That said, AEW had lots of way more exciting tag teams at the time (including FTR, whom people believed were next in the pecking order for a run) and it meant that Austin and Colten had an uphill battle to fight.

This reign wasn't nearly as big of a car crash as everyone expected it to be, but it also didn't last long enough to find out one way or the other.
