One of AEW President Tony Khan's first acquisitions in the company was WWE legend, Billy Gunn. The former Intercontinental Champion has now shared some details about his contract with the promotion.
Billy was initially signed as a coach in January 2019. However, the WWE Hall of Famer is still in phenomenal shape and has wrestled for All Elite Wrestling on several occasions.
His most notable contribution to AEW TV as of late has been his involvement in the story between The Gunn Club and The Acclaimed. After weeks of animosity between the teams, Billy sided with his sons Austin and Colten by attacking Max Caster and Anthony Bowens.

“Yeah, they have to do two contracts because they can’t loop them all together. You can’t loop the employee and talent because it’s, you know, a self-employed kind of deal. So, in reality, yeah, you’d like to just have one contract that says you do different things, but for some reason, you can’t do it that way for business bookkeeping or whatever.” (H/T Wrestling Inc.)
At the age of 58, Gunn still has a lot to give to AEW. Fans will have to wait and see what's next for the former DX member.
