On Friday, WWE made its annual round of post-WrestleMania cuts, with 25 wrestlers being released from developmental to the main roster. One of the more surprising releases was veteran tag team the Motor City Machine Guns, who were coveted free agents when they signed with the promotion in September 2024 after leaving TNA. Often called the best tag team of their generation, Chris Sabin and Alex Shelley won the WWE tag titles in their third match with the company, but hadn't been consistently used since their title run.

Sabin took to X (formerly known as Twitter) to confirm their release while simultaneously promoting their punk band's music.

"Yup, they released us," he wrote. "Anyways, check out our band GRPPLNG here's a link to pre order our 4 song EP. Love you all." Shelley responded with "lol. Josh," calling Sabin by his real name.

Shelley has made a couple of Instagram posts about GRPPLNG's upcoming show and pre-ordering their EP, and also referenced their release. In one post he asked if "anything interesting had happened in the last 24 hours," while in the other, he wrote "lots of people are asking me if there's anything they can do lately (dunno why, did something happen?)".

Sources reportedly believe The Guns are AEW bound when they can wrestle again in July. AEW has two shows in their hometown of Detroit on July 29 and 30. Sabin and Shelley were reportedly in talks with AEW in 2024 before ultimately signing with WWE.
