Summary

Colten Gunn is cleared to wrestle again after being sidelined since the summer of 2025.

The update came from Billy Gunn during a virtual signing. Colten had been out since an injury that kept him from competing in an AEW Tag Team Title Eliminator tournament, where he grabbed at his knee after coming down from a lifting punch.

Quote from Billy Gunn

When asked how Colten Gunn was doing, Billy Gunn said:

"He’s great. He just got cleared yesterday. So he’s good. Thank you for asking."

What it means for the Bang Bang Gang

Colten Gunn being cleared puts another option back on the board for the Bang Bang Gang, which currently includes Juice Robinson, Austin Gunn, and Ace Austin. It also gives the group a potential in-ring boost at a time when Jay White still has not returned to AEW programming.

AEW has had several return-related stories in circulation lately, including MVP saying The Hurt Syndicate is nearing its AEW in-ring return, and Colten's clearance adds another name to that list.
