WWE Hall of Famer Billy Gunn has wrestled on AEW shows over the last few years. Primarily wrestling on AEW Dark in 2021, the veteran returned to fight on AEW Dynamite for the first time this year. Before this week, his last match on Wednesday Night Dynamite took place in November 2020.

QT Marshall stepped up against Billy Gunn in a singles match this time around. The bout occurred as a result of Marshall betraying Cody Rhodes to form his own faction called "The Factory."

Thanks to outside interference from Anthony Ogogo, Marshall was able to defeat Gunn. Post-match, Dustin Rhodes arrived to save Billy Gunn from a beatdown at the hands of The Factory.

A member of The Factory, Nick Comoroto, did not even budge when Rhodes smashed a wooden chair over his head. The referees eventually arrived to break things up and end the segment.

Even if AEW's overreliance on factions may not be everyone's cup of tea, this particular storyline helps establish lesser-known stars without giving up a lot of television time.
