Shawn Spears is Cody's sworn enemy and former friend. His manager Tully Blanchard is Arn Anderson's former Tag Team Partner. Both men were original members of the famous NWA and WCW stable, Four Horsemen. In recent weeks, there has been speculation about a similar stable popping up, and Spears has now added to that speculation by dropping a hint on Twitter.
Shawn Spears hints that he's the fourth horseman in this possibly new AEW stable
Spears dropped a tweet with a picture of a Roman Numeral four, hinting that he could be the fourth man in the AEW version of the stable.
The speculation has been rampant for a while, with Cody and FTR also dropping subtle hints at a Four Horsemen stable.
This speculation started the moment FTR came to AEW.
Even adding to this speculation, Arn Anderson stated on his podcast that he saw Cody Rhodes, Braun Strowman, and FTR a.k.a The Revival's Scott Dawson and Dash Wilder as modern-day Horsemen.
With no Braun, it would make sense that Shawn Spears will fill that role since Tully Blanchard is his manager. It should be noted that Cody Rhodes also filed trademarks for the American Nightmare logo.
It should be interesting to see how things turn out in the weeks to come.
