Billy Gunn teased fans regarding a potential in-ring retirement during Saturday night’s episode of AEW Collision.
Following the AEW World Trios Championships Match that saw The House Of Black retain their titles against Gunn, Max Caster and Anthony Bowens, Gunn proceeded to unlace his boots, after Malakai Black and Buddy Matthews whispered something to him.
Gunn left his boots in the middle of the ring and when The Acclaimed’s Max Caster and Anthony Bowens attempted to speak to him, he brushed past them in an angry manner to the back.
Traditionally, when a wrestler leaves their boots in the ring, it is a signal that their in-ring career has come to an end, so it will be interesting to see how things progress with this storyline over the coming weeks.
Is this the end of a career…?
