Colten Gunn was born on May 18, 1991 in Orlando, Florida, United States. Sopp is the son of professional wrestler Monty “Billy Gunn” Sopp. His brother, Austin “Austin Gunn” Sopp, is also a professional wrestler. Sopp attended Florida State University, graduating in 2013. Prior to becoming a professional wrestler, he worked in the construction industry in Southern California.
Gunn made his independent circuit debut in September 2021, appearing with Battleground Championship Wrestling in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. In October 2021, the Gunn Club participated in “Chris Jericho’s Rock ‘N’ Wrestling Rager at Sea Triple Whammy”, a professional wrestling event held aboard the Norwegian Jewel. In March 2022 on New South Wrestling’s “Resurrection” pay-per-view, Gunn won his first title, teaming with Austin Gunn to defeat TME for the NSW Tag Team Championship. The Gunn Club lost the titles to the Bad News Boyz later that month.
Sopp was trained to wrestle by his father, Billy Gunn. On June 17, 2020, he appeared with the Jacksonville, Florida-based promotion All Elite Wrestling (AEW), accompanying his father to ringside for his match against Maxwell Jacob Friedman on AEW Dynamite and being confronted by Friedman’s bodyguard Wardlow. Later that month, Sopp’s father filed a trademark for “Colten Gunn”. On episode #53 of the web television show AEW Dark, which aired on September 22, Sopp accompanied his father and his brother to ringside for a tag team match.
Sopp made his professional wrestling debut with AEW on November 11, 2020 as “Colten Gunn”, teaming with his father and his brother Austin (as “Gunn Club”) to defeat BSHP King, Joey O’Riley, and Sean Maluta in a six-man tag team match. He returned in the following weeks, teaming with his father and brother in further six-man tag team matches and tag team matches. As part of Gunn Club, Gunn became a member of Cody Rhodes’ Nightmare Family stable. Gunn wrestled his first match on pay-per-view at Revolution on March 7, 2021, competing alongside Austin in a “casino” tag team battle royal. Throughout the remainder of 2021, Gunn primarily teamed with his father in tag team bouts on AEW Dark and AEW Dark: Elevation.
In November 2021, the Gunn Club began a short feud with Darby Allin and Sting that saw Colten sustain his first defeat on the December 1, 2021 episode of Dynamite when he was pinned by Sting; this loss also marked the end of the Gunn Club’s undefeated streak in AEW. In May 2022, the Gunn Club formed an alliance with the Acclaimed which lasted until July 2022 when the Gunn Club turned on the Acclaimed; on the August 3, 2022 episode of Dynamite, the Acclaimed defeated the Gunn Club in a dumpster match.
On the February 8, 2023 episode of Dynamite, the Gunns defeated the Acclaimed to win their first AEW World Tag Team Championship. At Revolution in March 2023, the Gunns successfully defended their titles in a four way match against the Acclaimed, Danhausen and Orange Cassidy, and Jay Lethal and Jeff Jarrett. On the April 5, 2023 episode of Dynamite, the Gunns lost the AEW World Tag Team Championship to FTR in a title versus career match.
