GYV are here to stay in AEW, and the only name you will remember when they’re done is the Grizzled Young Veterans.

I could really get behind this version of top flight. Has real potential if not turnt into a comedy gimmick because we all know Tony Khan doesn’t really know what to do with a gimmick like this.
