After their trios match on tonight's episode of Collision, Malakai Black and Billy Gunn had a moment in the middle of the ring. This moment ended up far from normal, as this led Gunn to tease his retirement.
The former NXT Champion hit the veteran with a Black Mass and pinned him for the win. He then went and sat beside Gunn in the center of the ring and had a conversation. These did not seem to be hostile words, as Black was seemingly in a calm mood and even held Gunn's arm before standing up to leave the ring.
However, this led to Gunn unlacing his boots and leaving them in the ring. This action was teasing his sudden retirement, which was very uncharacteristic of the Hall of Famer, as The Acclaimed still had a good standing in the division.

Malakai Black debuts new look on AEW Collision
On the latest episode of AEW Collision, the House of Black defended their AEW World Trios titles against The Acclaimed. The champions usually do their entrance wearing masks, and after their unmasking, Malakai Black's new look was revealed.
He simply had his beard shaved, a look that hasn't been seen in years, even when he was in WWE as Aleister Black. Although he would be the only one of the three without a beard, the AEW star looks as intimidating and formidable as he always has been.
