Summary

Austin Gunn celebrated Colten Gunn's return after Saturday's AEW Collision, praising the work his brother put in during a six-month recovery and training process to get back in the ring.

Colten returned on the May 2 episode as The Gunns reunited, a comeback that followed an absence dating back to last summer. That return already stood as a notable moment for the team on its own, and Colten Gunn's return on AEW Collision brought the brothers back together on screen.

Austin Gunn's message after Collision

In a post after the show, Austin said he was proud of Colten for the daily rehab, workouts, and ring practice that went into the comeback. He also kept the tone playful, adding a joke at the end of the message.

Austin framed the return as the result of months of work rather than a quick clearance, underscoring how much preparation went into getting The Gunns back together.

What Colten Gunn's return means for The Gunns

Colten Gunn being back gives AEW its full Gunns pairing again, which immediately restores one of the promotion's established tag team acts. Even without a new direction being announced yet, the return puts Austin and Colten back in position for more regular tag team involvement on Collision.

The reaction also made clear that AEW presented this as more than a routine roster appearance. Austin Gunn publicly putting the spotlight on Colten's rehab turns the return into a small momentum point for the team as they settle back into the tag division.
