Aces & Eights is a professional wrestling stable in the promotion Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA), consisting of a group of masked wrestlers. It has the gimmick of an outlaw motorcycle club; members of the stable ride motorcycles and are referred to as either "prospects" or "patched in". [2] The name of the stable is a reference to the two pair poker hand known as the "dead man's hand".[3][4]

History
Devon became the first member of Aces & Eights to be named by TNA at Bound for Glory on October 14, 2012. [5]

The stable debuted on the June 14, 2012 episode of Impact Wrestling, with three masked wrestlers attacking Sting as he discussed his induction to the TNA Hall of Fame.[1] On July 5, 2012, an unnamed man delivered an envelope to TNA General Manager Hulk Hogan containing a photograph of aces and eights playing cards (known as the "dead man's hand") and a note reading "see you next week", saying "we're not cowards...we've got something for you Hogan, wait and see!" [3][6]

Aces & Eights returned (in greater numbers) to TNA on the July 12, 2012 episode of Impact Wrestling, attacking both Sting and Hogan, with Hogan billed as having sustained a pelvic fracture (providing a kayfabe explanation for his absence from television while recovering from surgery to alleviate back pain). [7][8][9] Over the next several weeks, the stable continued to attack both faces and heels. [8][10][11][2]

Aces & Eights made its first appearance on pay-per-view at Hardcore Justice on August 12, 2012, attacking D'Angelo Dinero backstage (providing a kayfabe explanation for his absence from television to recuperate from a shoulder injury). Aces & Eights later interfered in a four-way tables match, attacking Jeff Hardy and the eventual winner, Bully Ray. [12][13]

On the August 23, 2012 episode of Impact Wrestling, Aces & Eights brawled with members of the TNA roster, injuring the right arm of TNA World Heavyweight Champion Austin Aries. [2] One week later, Aces & Eights attacked Aries again, knocking him unconscious with a foreign object. [14]

At No Surrender, on September 9, 2012, Aces & Eights again brawled with the TNA roster following a fight between Aries and a member called "The Armbreaker", injuring the shoulder of Jeff Hardy prior to his Bound for Glory series final against Bully Ray. [15]

Aces & Eights wrestled its first match at the Bound for Glory pay-per-view on October 14, 2012, with two unnamed members of the stable defeating Sting and Bully Ray in a no disqualification tag team match to win unfettered access to the Impact Wrestling Zone (had they lost, Aces & Eights had agreed to leave TNA). Aces & Eights won the bout following interference from two other members of the stable, one of whom was subsequently unmasked and revealed to be Devon, a member of the TNA roster and the former tag team partner of Bully Ray. [16][5] Devon was the first member of Aces & Eights to be formally identified by TNA. On the October 18, 2012 episode of Impact, Devon, serving as one of the spokesmen (his vest identified him as "Sergeant-at-Arms") for the gang, threatened the Impact wrestlers, who responded by attacking Aces & Eights. Sting challenged Devon to a match, which Sting won by disqualification when Aces & Eights interfered in the match. On October 25, Aces & Eights announced that they would be targeting a certain "victim", who later turned out to be Kurt Angle (a previous target of Aces & Eights); Angle had just lost a World Heavyweight Championship match against Jeff Hardy. Also, Bully Ray confronted his "brother" Devon; Devon blamed Hogan for mistreating him and that is why Devon joined Aces & Eights. After a tense standoff in which Devon announced that himself and Bully were no longer "brothers", and Bully called Devon a "coward", Bully Ray challenged Devon to fight him on the Open Fight Night episode of Impact on November 1. The match between Devon and Ray ended in a brawl, during which Joseph Park unmasked one of the members of Aces & Eights as Drew Hankinson, making him the second unmasked member of the stable.[17]
