AEW Championship Match Now Comes With Major Catch at Full Gear

AEW Dynamite just dropped a massive curveball, and Marc Briscoe is at the center of it.

During the November 5 episode, Briscoe stepped up to challenge Kyle Fletcher for the TBS Championship—but things escalated fast once Don Callis got involved.

In a backstage segment that aired midway through the show, Briscoe made it known he wanted a shot at Fletcher’s title. Fletcher, aligned with the ruthless Don Callis Family, seemed more than ready for the challenge. But then Callis raised the stakes, issuing a brutal ultimatum that could change Briscoe’s entire career trajectory. That If Marc loses, he joins the Don Callis Family.

This stipulation now ties Briscoe’s freedom directly to his in-ring performance. A loss doesn’t just mean missing out on gold—it means being forced to align with the very faction he’s been battling against.

The announcement comes just days after Callis orchestrated another Full Gear match—revealing that The Young Bucks and Josh Alexander will face Kenny Omega, Jack Perry, and Luchasaurus in a Million-Dollar Trios Match. With Callis playing puppet master across both storylines, it’s clear he’s tightening his grip on AEW’s power players.

As for Briscoe, the stakes couldn’t be more personal. Either he captures his first TBS Title… or surrenders his independence and becomes yet another pawn in Callis’ twisted family. Will Marc Briscoe rise up and dethrone Fletcher—or will he be absorbed into the very system he’s tried to fight?

Let us know your take—do you think Briscoe can escape the clutches of Don Callis? Sound off in the comments!
