JBL and WWE Hall of Famer turn down AEW star’s $10 bounty offer

WWE Hall of Famers JBL and Ron Simmons recently interacted with an AEW star who offered them a $10 bounty. The latter tried to hire The APA to deal with his rivals in All Elite Wrestling, but the interaction did not go as planned.

Danhausen recently bumped into JBL and Ron Simmons at a convention. Without any hesitation, the fan favorite tried to hire the two legends to take care of his long-time AEW rivals, The Gunns. The 34-year-old referred to Austin and Colten Gunn as "The A** Boys," and the WWE Hall of Famers seemed interested in his offer, until he revealed it was only for $10.

A video posted on the AEW star's Instagram said that he has made a deal with The APA to deal with Austin and Colten Gunn. JBL even highlighted that he has dealt with their father, Billy Gunn, back in the day. Therefore, he has no problem taking care of his sons. However, Danhausen revealed that he has only a can of Coke Zero, an apple, and a $10 bill to offer. The two legends responded with a puzzled look, which led the fan favorite to exit.

"Danhausen has made a deal with Jibble and Ron Simmons or more famously known as The A** Pounding Agency to take care of those pesky A** Boys once and for all," Danhausen on Instagram.

John Bradshaw Layfield and Ron Simmons were a part of an iconic tag team in WWE known as The APA.

"I though you're gonna say 'Damn!'"
