What is Billy Gunns contract?

All Elite Wrestling (AEW) is Billy Gunn's current professional wrestling organization. He was a coach for the WWF/WWE and NXT (1993–2004; 2012–2015) as well. Between 2005 and 2009, Gunn competed in the TNA promotion. Together with Max Caster and Anthony Bowens, he is the current AEW World Trios Champion.

In his time as a tag team champion in the WWE, Bart Gunn—as The Smoking Gunns, Road Dogg—as The New Age Outlaws, and Chuck Palumbo—as Billy and Chuck—has won eleven tag team titles in all. Gunn was admitted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2019 and has won 14 titles in total throughout his career in the WWE.

All Elite Wrestling hired Gunn as a coach in January 2019. He engaged in the pre-show fight royal at the AEW Double or Nothing event on May 25. On the November 20, 2019, edition of AEW "Dynamite," Gunn made his debut on television by participating in a battle royal.

The Gunn Club, who had since accepted Austin's brother and Gunn's second son Colten into the stable, defeated Bshp King, Joey O'Riley, and Sean Maluta by pinfall in a six-man tag match in November 2020.

On the August 17, 2022, episode of "Dynamite," Gunn's sons, Austin and Colten, betrayed him and sided with Stokely Hathaway, which resulted in the dissolution of the Gunn Club. Anthony Bowens and Max Caster, then collectively known as The Acclaimed, would help Gunn. In September 2022, they jointly won the AEW World Tag Team Championship.

The Acclaimed most recently won the AEW World Trios Championship by defeating The House of Black (Malakai Black, Brody King, and Buddy Matthews) in an August 2023 All-In "House Rules" No Holds Barred six-man tag match.

What is Billy Gunn’s contract?

Billy Gunn is currently under contract with All Elite Wrestling (AEW). Billy Gunn, a WWE Hall of Famer, has acknowledged that he has signed two separate contracts with All Elite Wrestling (AEW) in 2019. Gunn has two different contracts for his roles as an on-screen star and wrestler, in addition to his work as an AEW backstage trainer and agent.

This is because backstage staff are considered “employees” of the corporation, while talent are considered “independent contractors,” which is another way of saying they are technically freelancers or self-employed.

Gunn stated the following during a K&S WrestleFest signing:

“So, I wear a couple different hats (in AEW). No, so yes, it started out, I was head coach. I started head coach. I had limited—if they wanted to use me, they could. Then my kids joined because Austin was in ROH when I first went to AEW. That fell through, or he wasn’t clicking, so he came, asked if he could have a tryout, whatever. They hired him, and then all of a sudden, I started wrestling a bunch, and then they just switched it, so now I have an employment contract and a talent contract. Two.”

“Yeah, they have to do two contracts because they can’t loop them all together. You can’t loop the employee and talent because it’s, you know, a self-employed kind of deal. So, in reality, yeah, you’d like to just have one contract that says you do different things, but for some reason, you can’t do it that way for business bookkeeping or whatever.” Unfortunately, the financial details of the contract are not known.
