'Bad Ass' Billy Gunn is back.
The wrestling legend made his shocking return to AEW on the August 23 episode of AEW Dynamite, coming to the ring as the House Of Black was once again attacking The Acclaimed (Max Caster & Anthony Bowens). Gunn's return made the House Of Black retreat up the ramp.
Moments before they went backstage, Gunn grabbed a microphone and said that he was fine with walking away from wrestling until the House Of Black crushed his ring boots in a trash compactor.
Gunn and The Acclaimed then went on to challenge the House Of Black to a match at AEW All In, with Gunn noting that he won't be able to make the trip to the show, because 'Bad Ass' Billy Gunn will be there instead.
"One more time! It's all or nothing! Wembley Stadium in front of 80,000" - "Bad Ass" Billy Gunn.

Gunn has been absent from AEW programming since July 22, when he took off his boots and left them in the ring following a trios loss to the House Of Black.
