The Motor City Machine Guns made their second appearance in AEW at All In, something Tony Khan commented on after the show. The tag team showed up after the AEW World Tag Team Championship match at the PPV as one of several teams that stared off with champions Adam Copeland and Christian Cage.

Khan was asked during the AEW All In post-show media scrum about the team’s coming into AEW. He noted that he was happy to have them in and that they wanted to be part of the show, though they gave into the temptation to have them make their debut in Detroit on the July 30th episode of Collision.

On Bringing the Machine Guns Into AEW:

“Oh yeah, absolutely. They’re tremendous, I really like the Motor City Machine Guns. I had met them years ago when Kenny [Omega] was traveling as the AEW World Champion, and I traveled with him. And that’s when I first met them, and they’re both great wrestlers. I’ve been a fan of both of them for many years. When they were both free agents, I thought that was a great opportunity.”

On Their AEW All In Appearance:

“We had a show in Detroit. I thought it would be great for them to come in — even though they really wanted to be here, and come out and be a part of AEW All In: London, they couldn’t resist and I couldn’t resist the opportunity for them to say hello and make the announcement for their hometown fans in Detroit. And then to come back and reappear at AEW All In in London at Wembley Stadium, and not only appear but to be out there with some of the great tag teams, arguably, of all time. With the Young Bucks, the World Tag Team Champions Adam Copeland and Christian Cage, the former champions FTR, and now two-thirds of the new Trios Champions, the New Level, and of course the Motor City Machine Guns. That’s five incredible teams, and who would have thought it would have ever been possible to see these five teams all in the ring at the same time, let along on Wembley Stadium on PPV.”
