Clark Connors Opens Up About AEW’s The Last Outfit Changing Name To The Cut

The name change was discussed by Clark Connors.

It was in late October that The Dogs (David Finlay & Clark Connors) aligned with the Bang Bang Gang (Jay White, Juice Robinson, Ace Austin, Colten Gunn & Austin Gunn).

It was initially stated that the new group would be called The Last Outfit, but on the same day, the group name was changed to The Cut. While speaking to Fightful’s Sean Ross Sapp, Connors opened up about the switch.

“We kind of created this group kind of quickly on the fly, right? The name, to a lot of people, is obviously very important for people. But, it’s more about the feeling, and for us it was we didn’t — we still don’t even really care about the name as much as it’s we want to show what we are, what we can do, and a name comes. War Dogs — when we started the War Dogs — was not cool. It’s kind of silly, you know? It could be. It happened; they saw what we did and what it meant and it was like, ‘Oh! The War Dogs rule.’ We came over here and then we weren’t the War Dogs. We were The Dogs and the same thing happened which is like, ‘Dogs? That’s stupid.’ But by the end of it, people are like, ‘Why are they The Last Outfit? They should be the Dog Bang Gang’ or something. That’s not what it’s about. So The Last Outfit as a concept, though… the way that Jay (White) speaks, right? Just the ‘Slickest Guns in the West’ and ‘We’re Collision cowboys, the dirty dogs, all that stuff.” He continued, “But The Last Outfit (is a) collective of people coming together for one cause. ‘Last’ is an illusion to BULLET CLUB. So, that’s kind of where that started but The Cut is the name we end up going with because I think it rolls off the tongue well, but we are The Last Outfit; we are The Cut.”

The Cut (Jay White, Ace Austin, Austin Gunn, Clark Connors, Colten Gunn & David Finlay) will be facing Jon Moxley, Daniel Garcia, Gabe Kidd, Orange Cassidy, Kyle O’Reilly, and Roderick Strong in an Anarchy in the Arena match at Full Gear.
