AEW refers to the former DX member as "Billy of The Gunn Club" and they also bill him as "Billy and Austin Gunn" when he's with his son, but officially his ring name in AEW is just Billy.
There's no word on what exactly happened with WWE lawyers. Chris Jericho previously joked on AEW commentary that Billy lost his last name in a poker game.
