AEW's original Motor City Machine Gun plans for All In 2024 (Patreon)

Motor City Machine Guns signed with WWE in 2024, and quickly became Tag Team Champions. However, them going to AEW wasn't out of the question.

Recently a fan noted that they wished Motor City Machine Guns would have went to AEW. We did confirm last year that Chris Sabin and Alex Shelley had discussions with AEW, but didn't know exactly what the plan would have been. In recent weeks as All In has gotten closer, we've learned what the original internal discussions for the legendary duo were.

While Motor City Machine Guns were in talks with AEW, the company had plans to go towards a Young Bucks vs. Motor City Machine Guns tag team title feud for the big PPV. We're told that at some point in the summer, things went radio silent between the two sides, at which point AEW assumed MCMG were going to WWE. The decision was made to pivot to Young Bucks defending against FTR and Acclaimed at the show instead.

Motor City Machine Guns would sign with WWE and win the WWE Tag Team Titles within a week.
