The Gunns
professional wrestling tag team
The Gunns are a professional wrestling tag team consisting of real-life brothers Austin and Colten Gunn, who are the sons of professional wrestler Billy Gunn. They are signed to All Elite Wrestling (AEW) and Ring of Honor (ROH), where they are members of the Bang Bang Gang. They are former one-time AEW World Tag Team Champions and one-time ROH World Six-Man Tag Team Champions and AEW World Trios Champions (collectively held as the Unified World Trios Championship).
Austin and Billy first began teaming on the independent circuit in 2017, before Austin debuted for AEW as his father's tag team partner in 2020. The two began teaming as The Gunn Club. They became a trio later that year when Colten debuted in AEW and joined the group; they teamed for the next two years, until Austin and Colten turned on Billy in favor of siding with Stokely Hathaway in 2022. They soon ceased using the Gunn Club name and began referring themselves as simply "The Gunns". They achieved major success in 2023, winning the AEW World Tag Team Championship. In April 2024, together with Bullet Club Gold member Jay White, they unified the ROH World Six-Man Tag Team Championship and the AEW World Trios Championship as the Unified World Trios Championship.

Why this record matters
The phrase “professional wrestling tag team” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated May 28, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q117063701. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2017, 2020, 2022 and 2023.
A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
