Summary

Colten Gunn made his return on the May 2 episode of AEW Collision, bringing The Gunns back together on television.

The moment came after The Bang Bang Gang team of Juice Robinson and Ace Austin defeated Wheeler Yuta and Daniel Garcia. Once the match was over, Yuta and Garcia kept attacking Robinson and Austin until Colten Gunn's music hit and he came to the ring with Austin Gunn.

That gave AEW a full Gunns reunion after Colten had been sidelined since last summer with an injury.

How the return fit into AEW Collision

The return was framed as a rescue for Robinson and Austin, which immediately tied Colten Gunn back into the Bang Bang Gang story instead of treating the comeback as a one-off appearance.

Billy Gunn had recently said Colten was medically cleared, and AEW used that update to bring him back in a spot that re-established The Gunns as part of the group's numbers.

What Colten Gunn's comeback means for the Bang Bang Gang

Colten Gunn's return gives the Bang Bang Gang more depth again, and that matters right away if AEW keeps the group opposite Daniel Garcia, Wheeler Yuta, or other regular Collision acts. It also puts The Gunns back on screen as a tag team option, which could help AEW's tag division if the company follows up on the reunion in the weeks ahead.
