Billy Gunn is currently signed with AEW and having a great time with the company. He had successful stints with fellow WWE Hall of Famer “The Road Dogg” Jesse James (real name Brian James) in WWE being part of New Age Outlaws and DX. Now, it seems Gunn is trying to get James sign with AEW.

Gunn recently made an appearance on “K&S WrestleFest” on Facebook and spoke about the matter. He said:
“We’re trying to get him here. He’s got other things going on, his podcast that I have to hear about every single day.”
With Gunn currently still wrestling and working for AEW now as a coach, the questions of whether or not James would eventually tag along and it has always been there. The former WWE writer and producer was released in January along with his brother, Scott Armstrong, with the reason labeled as budget cuts. At the time, James shot down a potential in-ring return, but revealed that he and his former partner would be doing signings together.
According to Gunn, even if James were to show up in AEW, the two have no plans to reform the team.
“No, not reform the New Age Outlaws,” Gunn said. “If you’ve seen Brian lately, he doesn’t want to wrestle anymore.”
Gunn is currently in the midst of a storyline involving his real-life sons, The Gunn Club, and Anthony Bowens and Max Caster, aka The Acclaimed. The two teams recently broke apart, with Billy siding with his two sons and landing his signature “Fameasser” on Caster on a recent episode of “AEW Dynamite.” We will hear from The Gunn Club on this week’s edition of AEW Rampage.
