Rico Reflects On AEW WrestleDream 2024 Appearance, Interacting With Billy Gunn

Rico made a surprise appearance at AEW WrestleDream 2024, and he recently looked back at the experience and his interaction with Billy Gunn. The WWE alumnus appeared in MxM Collection’s corner at the AEW WrestleDream Zero Hour, as Mansoor and Mason Madden battled The Acclaimed.

Rico talked about the moment on Insight With Chris Van Vliet and said that he pitched an idea, but it was shot down. He also spoke about how his history with Billy Gunn was referenced, as you can see below:

On His Appearance In AEW:

“I could [go again in the ring], and I wanted to. But I was a manager, and things didn’t happen. I told you off-camera what I thought of, and it was shot down.”

On Interacting With Billy Gunn Again:

“Oh yeah. I just wish we could have told a story in the in a pre-tape, because people weren’t really getting it, because the crowd had changed over 20 years, and Billy just off the cuff, went down, and he cut a promo off top of his head, saying, ‘You’re the guy that almost made me marry Chuck.’ So then maybe brought some stuff back, and we did the match, and Billy got his revenge at the end. I interfered with the match and stuff like that. Then Billy snuck up behind me, and all of a sudden, you saw the match, and oh, I know this face. I know that ass, turn around, ‘No Billy, No!’”
