AEW’s Full Gear pay-per-view is one of the most exciting events in a long time. The show has a strong lineup from beginning to end, so fans can expect a night full of great action.
AEW World Championship: Will Ospreay (c) vs. Kyle Fletcher
Will Ospreay knows Kyle Fletcher better than most people. Unfortunately for him, that works both ways. Ospreay captured the AEW World Championship from Kenny Omega at All In London and has kept himself busy defending it ever since. Fletcher’s rise has happened alongside him, with the longtime Don Callis Family member going from tag team wrestler to legitimate World Championship challenger.
Their history makes this different from another title defense. They were once United Empire running mates, and Fletcher has developed a much nastier side since those days. Ospreay and Fletcher were also on opposite sides of Blood & Guts, where Ospreay’s team came up short. Now there are no teams between them. Fletcher finally gets his chance to take the World Championship from his former friend.
AEW Women’s World Championship: Mercedes Moné (c) vs. Marina Shafir
Marina Shafir has spent plenty of time serving as the Death Riders’ enforcer. Now she wants a championship of her own. Shafir has moved into a more active wrestling role over the past few months, and her striking and submission game gives Mercedes Moné a very different kind of challenger.
Moné has more ways to attack. She can wrestle on the mat, strike, go to the air or change her approach depending on what Shafir gives her. Shafir doesn’t necessarily need many openings, though. One big strike or Mother’s Milk could completely change the match and Moné’s title reign with it.
AEW World Trios Championship Texas Deathmatch: Hangman Page & Brodido (c) vs. Swerve Strickland & New Level
Hangman Page and Swerve Strickland weren’t finished trying to destroy each other. This time they’re bringing Brodido, Kofi Kingston and Austin Creed along for the ride, with the AEW World Trios Championship on the line in a Texas Deathmatch.
Creed and Kingston initially weren’t thrilled about getting dragged into something this violent. Then Swerve bloodied Bandido, Bandido returned looking for revenge and suddenly everyone was involved.
Hangman already knows exactly how ugly this kind of match can become, while Brody King isn’t exactly someone who needs convincing to fight. Swerve is just as comfortable taking things somewhere uncomfortable. The biggest question might be whether New Level is ready for the kind of fight Swerve has pulled them into.
Anarchy in the Arena: The Death Riders & The Conglomeration vs. The Cut
The Death Riders spent a long time being the people everyone else had to worry about. Now somebody is hunting them. The Bang Bang Gang and the Dogs eventually came together as The Cut, and their attacks haven’t stopped with the Death Riders.
The Conglomeration has also ended up in their sights, creating a situation where two groups that aren’t exactly natural friends suddenly have a common enemy. Anarchy in the Arena gives everybody plenty of room to settle it. There is still some uncertainty surrounding the exact numbers, particularly after Claudio Castagnoli was taken out by The Cut. That could become pretty important once everyone starts fighting throughout the building.
AEW International Championship: Kazuchika Okada (c) vs. Adam Copeland
Adam Copeland wants another World Championship before his career is over, but first he’s dealing with Don Callis Family business. That puts Kazuchika Okada directly in his path. The match came together quickly, but it gives AEW a meeting between two wrestlers whose careers spent years happening on opposite sides of the world.
Copeland has already announced that 2027 will be his final year in wrestling. Okada isn’t interested in helping him get any closer to the ending he wants, especially with the International Championship at stake.
AEW World Tag Team Championship: The Young Bucks (c) vs. Jake Doyle & Mark Davis
The Young Bucks already know what Jake Doyle and Mark Davis can do to them. They found out in less than three minutes. Doyle and Davis recently demolished Matt and Nick Jackson on Dynamite, and the Bucks followed that by ending up on the losing side of Blood & Guts.
Now the big men get another shot at them, except this time the AEW World Tag Team Championship is on the line. The Bucks have survived plenty over the years, but surviving Doyle and Davis long enough to actually wrestle their kind of match could be the difficult part.
AEW Women’s World Tag Team Championship: The Brawling Birds (c) vs. Wrathlander
Jamie Hayter and Alex Windsor have already gotten through one dominant team. Now they’re dealing with something completely different.
The Brawling Birds defeated Divine Dominion at All In and then beat them again in their title rematch at All Out. Hayter and Windsor were also part of the winning side against Divine Dominion and the Triangle of Madness in Women’s Blood & Guts. Their next challengers are Kris Statlander and Harley Cameron.
Wrathlander doesn’t come into this with the same kind of rivalry the champions had with Divine Dominion, but Statlander and Cameron have developed into a legitimate team. Full Gear gives them the chance to turn that partnership into championship gold.
AEW National Championship: Tommaso Ciampa (c) vs. Ilja Dragunov
Tommaso Ciampa hasn’t exactly been given much time to enjoy being champion. Ciampa defeated Andrade El Idolo to capture the AEW National Championship and then successfully defended it against “Speedball” Mike Bailey on Dynamite.
Now Ilja Dragunov will challenge him for the title. Dragunov debuted at WrestleDream and hasn’t lost since, quickly putting himself in position for a championship opportunity. Neither man needs much convincing to beat the hell out of somebody, and putting them across the ring from each other with a championship between them makes this one pretty straightforward.
AEW TBS Championship: Queen Aminata (c) vs. Persephone vs. Maya World
Queen Aminata finally has the TBS Championship. Getting a chance to actually enjoy it is another story. Aminata recently defeated Persephone for the title and then successfully defended it against Hyan and Skye Blue. Ninety-six hours later, she’s being asked to do it again.
This time both challengers are former champions. Persephone gets her contractual rematch after losing the title to Aminata, while Maya World never actually lost hers. Maya defeated Mercedes Moné for the championship before an injury forced her to vacate it.
With three wrestlers involved and no disqualifications in the match, Aminata doesn’t even need to be the person who gets beaten to lose the championship. The match will take place during the Full Gear Tailgate Hour.
