The Outrunners is an American professional wrestling tag team consisting of Truth Magnum and Turbo Floyd. They are signed to All Elite Wrestling (AEW), and also wrestle for its sister promotion Ring of Honor (ROH). The team debuted in April 2021 and wrestled for the National Wrestling Alliance (NWA) as well as several regional promotions on the independent circuit, such as Ohio Valley Wrestling (OVW). The team's gimmick is that they are presented as a throwback to 1980s wrestlers.

History

All Elite Wrestling (2021–present)

The Outrunners made their All Elite Wrestling (AEW) debut on September 8, 2021, on AEW Dark: Elevation, losing to The Butcher And The Blade.

Starting in the fall of 2024, The Outrunners became regulars on AEW television, mainly appearing on Collision, where they formed an alliance with FTR. On November 23 at Full Gear, The Outrunners participated in a four-way tag team match for the AEW World Tag Team Championships, but failed to win

Professional wrestling style and persona

The team's gimmick is that they are presented as 1980s throwback wrestlers, including wearing gear and using moves in the style of that era, and filming vignettes using a VHS video camera; starting from the 2024 Full Gear PPV, their entrances are also presented in a VHS-esque aesthetic. Their popularity made them one of AEW's top merchandise sellers in August 2024.
