AEW tag duo Austin and Colt Gunn are the sons of legendary former WWE Superstar Billy Gunn. The older Gunn was a pivotal figure in The Attitude Era as one half of The New Age Outlaws with Road Dogg and a member of legendary faction D-Generation-X with Triple H and X-Pac.

The Attitude Era was one of the most successful periods in wrestling, and Gunn certainly made a good living thanks to all the merchandise royalties DX sold, not to mention the countless shows and PPVs he appeared on. Even after his in-ring career winded down, the former King of the Ring winner kept busy in a backstage role with WWE for almost two decades and is now a talent coach and occasional performer in AEW alongside his sons.
Austin and Colton Gunn grew up in relative wealth thanks to their father's exploits in the business. The young duo is now hoping to make their mark in AEW.
