The wrestling world has been abuzz with speculation surrounding the future plans of Alex Shelley, one half of the renowned tag team Motor City Machine Guns, since he and his partner Chris Sabin parted ways with TNA in April. Recent reports have hinted at a potential move to All Elite Wrestling (AEW), but Shelley has remained tight-lipped about his next move… until now.
In a recent interview with Bodyslam.net on Wrestlemobs, Shelley opened up about his feelings on this new chapter in his career. When asked if he was looking forward to facing anyone in particular, Shelley expressed his excitement about the uncertainty of it all, citing that the “feeling of everything being new” was a welcome change after having done “everything possible” in his previous company.
Shelley also took a moment to reflect on the opportunities he’s had, acknowledging that he’s “fortunate to be able to wrestle for a living,” especially when compared to others who have faced greater challenges to break into the industry.
Meanwhile, fans have been eagerly speculating about a potential AEW debut for Motor City Machine Guns, fueled in part by a recent nod from The Young Bucks, who incorporated the MCMG’s signature “Made in Detroit” finisher into their match against Private Party in the AEW tag team championship tournament quarterfinals.
While this move was seen by many as a deliberate reference to Shelley and Sabin, nothing has been officially confirmed by AEW or the wrestlers themselves. For now, fans will have to stay tuned for any updates on the status of Motor City Machine Guns’ potential signing.
As the wrestling terrain continues to evolve, one thing is certain: the addition of Alex Shelley and Chris Sabin would be a significant coup for AEW, bringing with them a wealth of experience and a reputation for thrilling matches. Only time will tell if the rumors will come to fruition, but one thing is clear – the wrestling world is eagerly awaiting the next move from these two highly sought-after free agents.
