Sabin and Shelley were released on April 24, 2026, as part of post-WrestleMania 42 roster cuts that saw 25 wrestlers let go by the sports entertainment juggernaut. Since then, they have been speculated to join AEW by fans.

During a recent episode of the Self Made Sessions, the hosts discussed the impending move. They talked about the direction of AEW’s tag team division and stated that Shelley and Sabin are heading to All Elite Wrestling.

“I think we are getting some iteration of New Day, CNC, Bunks, and Allin.” They continued: “They’re coming to AEW. I got to be honest, bro. Yeah, we love them on the IWC.”

WWE legend Adam Copeland heaps praise on Motor City Machine Guns and AEW tag team division

WWE Hall of Famer and AEW star Adam Copeland recently discussed the possibility of Motor City Machine Guns and The New Day joining the Jacksonville-based promotion.

Speaking about the landscape of tag team competition on Westwood One Sports Night, Copeland said AEW’s tag team division is the best in the world. He said there are numerous dream matches that can be made and described the talent pool as a “mu*derer’s row” of teams.

He pointed to the depth of the division and noted that adding teams such as The New Day and Motor City Machine Guns will only further strengthen the competition.

“When you look at this tag team division, to me, there’s no question it’s the best tag team division in the world. You just look at all of the possible matches, and it’s just like, man, it really is like a mu*derer’s row of tag teams. And then if you were to throw in teams like the New Day and Motor City Machine Guns on top of that, like, come on,” he said.

It will be interesting to see if The New Day and MCMG join AEW down the line.
