Summary

A new report has shed more light on what could be next for Motor City Machine Guns after Alex Shelley and Chris Sabin were released by WWE last Friday.

According to the report, TNA sources believe Shelley and Sabin would always have a place back in the company, but expect AEW to be the team's eventual landing spot.

The update comes only days after their WWE exit was confirmed. Shelley and Sabin signed with WWE in 2024 and quickly made an impact by winning the WWE Tag Team Titles within their first few weeks with the company. Their last televised match came on March 20.

AEW now looks like the promotion to watch if Shelley and Sabin do make a quick return to national television, while TNA remains an obvious option because of the team's long history there.

Nothing in the report suggests a deal has been completed, so the situation still appears fluid. Even so, the mention of both AEW and TNA gives a clearer early picture of where one of the most decorated tag teams of their era could resurface next.
