While there are several people who are expecting them to depart the company, several others are hopeful that they can be talked into staying.

The Motor City Machine Guns, consisting of Alex Shelley and Chris Sabin, have been a prominent tag team in the world of professional wrestling for many years. However, their future with TNA (Total Nonstop Action) Wrestling is uncertain as their contracts are set to expire at the end of this month.
According to reports from Pwinsider, both Shelley and Sabin will be free from their TNA contracts on April 1, 2024. This news has sparked speculation among fans and industry insiders about the duo’s next move. While some believe they will leave the company, others remain hopeful that they can be convinced to stay.
The Motor City Machine Guns have been a fan-favorite team, known for their high-flying and innovative in-ring style. They have captured multiple tag team championships throughout their careers and have earned a reputation as one of the most exciting tandems in professional wrestling.
It is worth noting that even if Shelley and Sabin choose to leave TNA, they may still make appearances on a per-appearance basis. This would allow them to continue entertaining fans while exploring other opportunities in the wrestling industry.
In a recent development, Alex Shelley has taken steps to protect the team’s brand by filing trademarks for the Motor City Machine Guns’ name, as well as the abbreviation “MCMG.” This move suggests that Shelley is considering the possibility of continuing to use the team’s name and identity outside of TNA.
The potential departure of the Motor City Machine Guns from TNA would undoubtedly be a loss for the company. Their unique blend of athleticism and storytelling has captivated audiences around the world. However, it could also open up new opportunities for Shelley and Sabin to showcase their talents in different promotions or even on a global scale.
Fans will have to wait and see what the future holds for the Motor City Machine Guns. Whether they decide to stay with TNA or explore new horizons, one thing is for certain – their impact on the world of professional wrestling will not be forgotten.
