Chris Sabin and Alex Shelley made their debut in All Elite Wrestling (AEW) on the recent episode of “Collision.” The event took place in their hometown of Detroit, marking an impactful entrance for the duo.
The team, known as the Motor City Machine Guns, expressed excitement about joining AEW. Sabin emphasized the significance of competing in Detroit, a city they have represented for two decades. He stated, “Did you think we wouldn’t be here? There’s no place we’d rather be than the greatest city in civilization. This is where the best wrestle.”

Their presence was felt immediately during the show. After an eight-man tag team match involving the Bang Bang Gang and other wrestlers like Jon Moxley and Claudio Castagnoli, the Motor City Machine Guns intervened. They thwarted an attack by Clark Connors and David Finlay, then celebrated with the Bang Bang Gang in the ring.
Sabin and Shelley are one of the most accomplished tag teams in professional wrestling. They have competed in WWE, Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA), Ring of Honor, and New Japan Pro-Wrestling. Their journey in these organizations has seen them claim various tag team titles.
The team’s recent stint in WWE lasted nearly two years before they left in April. Now, their addition to AEW’s roster enhances the company’s tag team offerings, promising exciting future matchups.
