Motor City Machine Guns Sign With AEW, Make Debut On AEW Collision

The Motor City Machine Guns are All Elite, with the tag team making their debut on AEW Collision and signing with the company. Friday night’s show opened with Alex Shelley and Chris Sabin coming out to make their official debut for the company.

The two got a pop from the Detroit crowd and cut a promo talking about how there’s no place they’d rather be than the city that they’ve loved and represented for twenty years. Shelley said that they were “home” in more ways than one and they got an All Elite graphic on the screen.

Soon after, Tony Khan posted to Twitter to confirm that the two are signed to AEW. The signing comes shortly after the Motor City Machine Guns became free agents following their free agents following their releases in April.
