63-year-old WWE veteran makes surprise AEW debut at WrestleDream 2024

A WWE legend just made their debut appearance tonight at AEW WrestleDream as they were revealed to be the surprise backup of a top tag team. This would be Rico.

Last night, MxM Collection attacked The Acclaimed and challenged them to a match at the pay-per-view. They revealed that they had found a third man to be with them ringside to equal the odds as they have had to deal with the additional presence of Billy Gunn.

In WWE in the early 2000s, Billy Gunn formed a tag team with Chuck Palumbo and brought in Rico as their "personal stylist." They were on the same side for some time but eventually found themselves fighting each other. It seems that the former WWE veteran has held a grudge against Gunn.

MxM Collection made the reveal backstage as they looked to end scissoring tonight with a win.

Rico's impact during their match was evident as he made several interferences, hoping to turn the tide in the favor of Mansoor and Mason. However, at a certain point, he found himself face-to-face with a much bigger Billy Gunn and he paid for it.

This opened up the chance for The Acclaimed to put them away and take the win. It remains to be seen if this now ends this quick feud between them.
