AEW Full Gear will be live from the Target Center in Minneapolis, Minnesota on November 13. The pay-per-view event will bring a number of long-term feuds to a head as these competitors aim to leave it all on the line. In bringing some of the company's most heated rivalries to a close, the wrestling promotion is also devoting plenty of time to its upcoming talent.
Between Full Gear and the Buy In pre-show, there are 10 matches scheduled to take place, including a Minneapolis Street Fight and a Falls Count Anywhere match. The AEW World Championship, the AEW Women's World Championship, and the AEW World Tag Team Championship will all be on the line. Here's what to expect.
Nyla Rose and Jamie Hayter vs. Thunder Rosa and Hikaru Shida
All four of these women are still in the tournament to crown the inaugural TBS Women's Champion upon Dynamite's move to the network in January. Rosa will take on Jamie Hayter in the quarterfinals, while Rose is scheduled to take on Shida. Both Rosa and Rose are coming off of first-round byes in the tournament, while Hayter picked up a win over Anna Jay in round one. Shida defeated Serena Deeb in round one, making history as the first woman to reach 50 wins. While this match doesn't affect the tournament, it does grant the chance for each of these women to do some damage prior to their singles matches against one another.
Jungle Boy, Luchasaurus, and Christan Cage vs. The Superkliq
The Superkliq (consisting of Adam Cole and Matt and Nick Jackson) has been relentless in their attempts to knock Jungle Boy, Luchasaurus, Marko Stunt, and Christian Cage down a few pegs, leaving men on both sides with growing pains. Since arriving in AEW, Cole has had his sights set on Jungle Boy. Their tension has led Cole, Jungle Boy, and their friends to crash through tables or be beaten with steel chairs. With the Falls Count Anywhere stipulation allowing the men to take the fight anywhere they please, this match is guaranteed to amplify their hostility.
CM Punk vs. Eddie Kingston
While it is one of the relatively new feuds within AEW, these men are not strangers to one another. Many are calling this a fight 15 years in the making, giving it the grounds to be the match of the night. The bad blood between these two men dates back to both of their stints on the independent circuit, which both men have acknowledged on AEW programming. Punk and Kingston's bad blood was televised following Kingston's loss to Bryan Danielson in the AEW World Championship Eliminator Tournament a few weeks ago. Punk was in the middle of an interview when Kingston entered the backstage area, fuming from his loss. With the brawls that have occurred since, this is one of the biggest matches of the night.
Bryan Danielson vs. Miro
These former WWE stars will square off in the final of the AEW World Championship Eliminator Tournament, where one of these men will earn a future AEW World Championship match. Following Danielson's debut in AEW at the All Out pay-per-view in September, he has made quite an impact, battling the likes of Kenny Omega. Miro is eager to prove himself after losing his TNT Championship to Sammy Guevara in late September. For Miro, nothing would satisfy him more than a chance at the AEW World Championship and he will run through anyone who gets in his way.
Inner Circle vs. American Top Team
Santana, Ortiz, Sammy Guevara, Jake Hager, and Chris Jericho of the Inner Circle are set to battle Scorpio Sky, Ethan Page, Andrei Arlovski, Junior dos Santos, and Dan Lambert in a Minneapolis Street Fight. This past Wednesday on Dynamite, the members of American Top Team vowed to make it their mission for Lambert to pin Jericho at Full Gear. After attaching the Inner Circle and putting Jericho through a table, the Inner Circle will be out for blood following American Top Team's sneak attack.
Lucha Brothers vs. FTR
The AEW World Tag Team Championship will be on the line as the Lucha Bros. take on FTR. FTR hopes to be the first team in AEW to win the titles twice, while the Lucha Bros. hope to redeem themselves after losing the AAA World Tag Team Championship to FTR in October. Neither of these impressive tag teams will go down without a fight.
Dr. Britt Baker D.M.D. vs. Tay Conti
Baker will defend her AEW Women's World Championship against Conti. Baker is already AEW's second longest-reigning Women's World Champion. Conti's frequent tag partner, Anna Jay, lost to Baker a few weeks ago, increasing the tension between the women. This past Wednesday on Dynamite, Conti, Jay, and Thunder Rosa successfully defeated Baker, Rebel, and Hayter in a tag team match. The hostility between these two will make Baker's title defense unlike any of her previous ones.
PAC and Cody Rhodes vs. Malakai Black and Andrade El Idolo
Rhodes and Black have been involved in a rivalry dating back to August. Black defeated Rhodes twice before Rhodes was able to successfully defeat him. PAC and El Idolo have been involved in a feud of their own, where each man has beaten the other in a singles match. The feud expanded once Black attacked PAC following his victory over El Idolo, where Rhodes came in to make the save. It seems none of these men will be satisfied until they're able to put an end to the other for good.
MJF vs. Darby Allin
Naming Allin and himself as two of the four young pillars of AEW, MJF vowed to defeat Allin, by breaking him mentally. MJF has previously defeated the other young pillars, Jungle Boy and Sammy Guevara. By doing so, MJF insists that he is the past, present, and future of professional wrestling. Allin is notorious for putting his body on the line in unprecedented ways, making him unlike many of MJF's previous opponents. With the mind games the two men have played with one another over the past few weeks, the tension between them at Full Gear has the potential to put one of the night's most impressive matches.
Kenny Omega vs. Hangman Adam Page
Omega and Page will battle one another in what may be the most anticipated matches of the night, for the AEW World Championship. At last year's Full Gear, Omega defeated Page in the finals of the AEW World Championship Tournament and went on to defeat Jon Moxley to win the title. Page's loss to Omega in the tournament is only part of their extensive history that has helped make this match so significant.
Omega and Page served as the AEW World Tag Team Champions for over 200 days before they were defeated by FTR. Omega went on to flourish with the Elite, while Page struggled to regain his footing. The history between these two men is one of AEW's longest feuds, making Page's potential win a satisfying end for many AEW fans.
AEW Full Gear will be live from Minneapolis, Minnesota on November 13, 2021. It is available for order through cable providers, Bleacher Report, and FITE.
