Cody had the following to see about the new additions on Twitter:
Lee Johnson and The Gunn Club have been rewarded for their performances in AEW
Lee Johnson has been actively featured on AEW Dark since April. He made his AEW debut against QT Marshall on Dark and has since been involved in several matches over the past few months.
He put on one of the greatest matches in AEW Dark history against Ben Carter last month that received rave reviews from all quarters of the wrestling community.
Johnson most recently appeared on the anniversary edition of AEW Dynamite to team up with Sean Maluta for a match against Kip Sabian and Miro. Lee Johnson deserves the promotion based on his performances, and being in the presence of Cody, Dustin Rhodes, coaches, and the support staff should elevate him to the next level.
The recruitment of Billy and Austin Gunn was expected to happen following the events that unfolded on the last episode of AEW Dynamite.
The Gunn Club helped Cody fight off The Dark Order during the Lumberjack match for the TNT Championship. AEW has also announced a six-man tag team match for next ween between John Silver, Ten & Colt Cabana, and the team of Austin, Billy & Cody.
The inclusion of Billy Gunn is an interesting one as the WWE Hall of Famer has also been wrestling on AEW Dark alongside his son.
The Nightmare Family is growing in numbers, but could more recruitments be on its way? If yes, who would you like to see join the faction?
