AEW President Tony Khan appeared on The Way of the Blade podcast to discuss various topics. He revealed that he initially wanted The Briscoes, Mark and Jay Briscoe, to team up with Jay Lethal at All Out 2022. However, the Motor City Machine Guns ended up taking their place in a match against FTR and Wardlow.
Khan said, “The first time I met them was Supercard 2022. I tried to get them involved in AEW after Supercard. At All Out 2022, when the Motor City Machine Guns wrestled on All Out, that was originally going to be The Briscoes teaming with Jay Lethal against FTR and Wardlow. It would have made a lot of sense, if you looked at what was happening with FTR and Briscoes. It would have been great. Motor City Machine Guns came in and did a great job, but they were new to the story and they kind of came in out of nowhere because we couldn’t use The Briscoes.”
