Notes coming out of AEW Full Gear.

Mark Briscoe, Big Boom AJ, Ricochet, Kris Statlander, and Khan all answered questions from the media on Saturday at the AEW Full Gear media scrum. Here are the highlights:

Mark Briscoe

  • Briscoe had a new custom TNT title belt that was given to him by Orange Cassidy following his title win.
  • Says he never thought a night like this would happen, as he always considered himself a tag team wrestler. He thanks Tony Khan, his family, and God.
  • Corey Lieb asked about reflecting on being TNT Champion when previously the Briscoes were banned from appearing on the network. Khan said that this was a previous, now long gone executive and thanked David Zaslav (head of Warner Brothers Discovery) for bringing in new people who quickly changed things.

Big Boom AJ

  • AJ said it was great to have a ring general like QT Marshall for his match and thanked the crowd.
  • Tony Khan said ‘100%’ there would be a Big Boom AJ figure in the future.
  • Big Boom AJ said if Big Justice wanted to be a wrestler, he would be one of the greatest wrestlers ever.

Ricochet

  • On his title win, Ricochet said winning the title feels familiar and told everyone to watch their back because he was coming after them next, including Kris Statlander.
  • Khan said that the Casino Gauntlet match from Saturday’s show was one of the best they’ve had yet.

Kris Statlander

  • When asked who’s left, Statlander asked Tony Khan who should be next. Tony Khan said there will be a long line of challengers coming forward after Full Gear.
  • She said feels that her being seen as an underdog is an insult considering she is holding a title Mercedes Mone never held.

Tony Khan

  • He started off by saying he had a ‘very good idea’ on who the Continental Classic participants are and will be revealed early this coming week. He did bring up that as a result of Jon Moxley’s actions following their match, Kyle O’Reilly will likely not be cleared and will have to ‘deal with some injuries.’ 
  • Khan also took time to send condolences to Bob Caudle and George Tahinos, who passed away this past week.
  • Asked about reflecting a year ago versus now, Khan said that a year ago, he thought they were on the verge of a turnaround, and now a year later they have been consistent, both on television and pay-per-view, and have a lot of momentum.
  • According to what data they have, Khan feels this may be the biggest PPV yet in the HBO Max era.
  • He was asked about three breakout wrestlers for 2026. Renee Paquette brought up Kevin Knight and he agreed, saying he is someone with great breakout potential, as well as Speedball Mike Bailey. Willow Nightingale was also named. 
  • Khan was asked if Mercedes Mone’s run on the independent scene was the inspiration for the National title. Khan lauded what Mone was doing but also brought up international wrestling in general as well as ROH’s success on YouTube. He also said that CMLL and NJPW are interested in potential National title matches.
  • Regarding earlier start times and show length, Khan said he was interested in changing around start times and thinks he won’t run another show so late on the east coast on a Sunday. He feels there are differences between running shows on Saturdays and Sundays, and is open to earlier start times. In regards to show length, Khan said they are contracted for three hours and forty five minutes, and they’ve never gone under that.
  • Regarding what he looks for in the independents, he said he looks for who connects with the crowd.
  • Someone asked about the potential of Warner Bros. Discovery being sold to someone who has ties to WWE. Tony Khan point blank said he is not worried at all, they have a great relationship with WBD and is optimistic about AEW’s future.
  • He hasn’t taken a break from pro wrestling in a long time and loves it, he doesn’t miss a show and loves coming to AEW events. He’s obsessed with it, he loves it so much. 
  • Said that getting Hangman Page’s licensed theme at Full Gear was a race against time and is happy they’ve been able to get the licensed music they’ve wanted for the shows.

The Young Bucks reunite with Kenny Omega at AEW Full Gear

The Elite have reunited.

After weeks of debating whether or not to join the Don Callis Family, Matt and Nick Jackson finally rejected Don Callis’ offer on Saturday, choosing instead to lay out Don Callis’ family and reunite with Kenny Omega after a long period of estrangement.

The Young Bucks and Josh Alexander emerged victorious on Saturday at Full Gear, defeating Jurassic Express and Kenny Omega in a 1 million dollar trios match. After winning, Callis arrived and handed bags of money to the Bucks, walking them away as the rest of the family targeted Jurassic Express and Omega. When the Young Bucks saw what was going on at the entrance ramp, they debated for a moment before abandoning the money and making the save for their former friends. 

Once the dust was cleared, Jurassic Express accepted The Young Bucks’ help. Omega made it to his feet but didn’t know how to react when Matt and Nick extended their hands. Omega swatted their hands away, instead choosing to embrace them as the three hugged, officially reuniting.

Since losing their EVP status at All In, The Young Bucks have struggled for money and became the joke of the locker room that they previously tormented. The one person who had their back was Don Callis, who paid for their elaborate entrances with the impression that they would be joining his family.

Inaugural National Champion crowned at AEW Full Gear

Despite the early odds being against him, Ricochet survived a Casino Gauntlet match at Saturday’s AEW Full Gear to become the company’s inaugural National Champion.

Ricochet picked up the win after hitting a Spirit Gun on Kevin Knight after Knight had hit a UFO splash on Wheeler Yuta. That was preceded by a Yuta busaiku knee on Orange Cassidy as he was about to hit Ricochet with an Orange Punch.

The title belt was brought out from the back by Ricochet’s faction mates, the Gates of Agony. While not of the NWA title lineage, it does share the same name.

It’s his first title anywhere since a 42-day inaugural run with the WWE Speed title in 2024. Before that, he held the WWE Intercontinental title for nearly 100 days in 2022.

The Gauntlet match was started by Bobby Lashley and Shelton Benjamin of The Hurt Syndicate. Ricochet nearly immediately came out at number three to call them out on not fighting when the two were then jumped from behind by the Gates of Agony to give Ricochet the brief advantage.

The bout also featured Claudio Castagnoli, “Speedball” Mike Bailey, Mark Davis, Daniel Garcia, and Matt Menard.

The champion already has his first title defense set as he will be part of next month’s Ring of Honor Final Battle event from Columbus, Ohio.

FTR win Tag Team titles at AEW Full Gear

New AEW Tag Team Champions have been crowned.

FTR are now three-time AEW Tag Team Champions, defeating Brodido at Saturday’s Full Gear event. In a wild back and forth match, Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler managed to isolate Bandido after hitting Brody King with a piledriver on the apron. Bandido attempted to fight back, but eventually found himself outnumbered and accepted his fate as he took the shatter machine, giving FTR the win and tying with the Young Bucks for most AEW Tag Team title reigns.

In the weeks leading to Full Gear, FTR and Stokely Hathaway had focused on Bandido and his family, insulting his grandmother and Bandido’s brother Gravity during shows. At one point, FTR attacked Gravity while the champions were stuck in a locked room, with Stokely guarding. Eventually Brody King burst through the door and managed to escape.

Brodido had held the titles for 90 days, originally winning them from The Hurt Syndicate in a three-way match at Forbidden Door that also involved FTR. During their time as champions, they defended against the likes of Kazuchika Okada & Konosuke Takeshita and also defended the titles in CMLL. Bandido remains the ROH World Champion.

Tony Khan says he’s talked to Billy Corgan over AEW National Championship

Tony Khan and Billy Corgan have talked things out.

During a livestream on Friday night, Khan said he talked to the NWA President over his introduction of a new championship, the AEW National title. After stressing that this would have a completely different lineage from the NWA’s version of the title, Khan said he and Corgan had a “nice conversation.”

“I ended up having a really nice conversation about it with the President of the NWA, Billy Corgan,” Khan said. “I have a lot of respect for him and a lot of respect for what he’s doing. I really love the traditions of pro wrestling and I had a really nice talk with Billy and we hadn’t talked in a long time so I think it was good for him to hear this. I respect him and I respect the NWA, and we’re trying to do something different here.”

When the National title was announced, it caused controversy with some NWA wrestlers, including current NWA National Champion Mike Mondo.

AEW’s latest title will be determined in a Casino Gauntlet match at Full Gear on November 22. Khan said during the stream that matches will soon take place to determine the first and second spots in the match.

Steel cage World title match official for AEW Full Gear

If two Blood and Guts cage matches Wednesday weren’t enough for AEW fans, they’ll get a more traditional version in nearly two weeks time at AEW Full Gear.

Made during Wednesday’s special edition of Dynamite, the AEW World title match between Hangman Page and Samoa Joe will now be inside a steel cage.

After Page defeated Powerhouse Hobbs in a falls count anywhere match, Hobbs’ Opps teammate Katsuyori Shibata attacked Page, followed by Joe. As the Blood & Guts cage began to lower, Eddie Kingston and Hook came out to even the odds and save Page.

That is when Page issued the challenge to the added wrinkle that was later made official for next Saturday’s pay-per-view from Newark, New Jersey.

Current AEW Full Gear lineup | Saturday, November 22 | Newark, New Jersey

  • AEW World Champion Hangman Adam Page defends against Samoa Joe in a steel cage match
  • AEW Women’s World Champion Kris Statlander defends against Mercedes Mone

  • Kenny Omega and Jurassic Express (Jack Perry & Luchasaurus) vs. The Young Bucks (Matt & Jackson) and Josh Alexander
  • Pre-Show: Big Boom AJ & QT Marshall vs. RPG Vice (Rocky Romero & Trent Beretta)

World title match official for AEW Full Gear

TBS Champion Mercedes Mone will get her second shot at becoming AEW Women’s World Champion as she will challenge Kris Statlander at next month’s Full Gear.

During Wednesday’s Dynamite in a backstage segment with Renee Paquette, Statlander accepted Mone’s challenge that was issued at last Saturday’s WrestleDream. Mone currently holds 12 championship belts and hosted a championship celebration during Dynamite that was upended by Statlander and Harley Cameron that saw Mone’s face smashed into a cake and her put through a table.

The match is the first official bout for the pay-per-view.

On Saturday, Statlander was celebrating her title defense over Toni Storm when Mone interrupted her moment and told her to get out of her ring. Statlander relented but returned to lay Mone out after her record 11th simultaneous title victory over interim ROH Women’s TV Champion Mina Shirakawa.

It will be their third-ever singles meeting. They have twice squared off for the TBS title during Mone’s record run, once at last year’s Full Gear and again at Worlds End. In both cases, Mone picked up the win.

Mone unsuccessfully challenged then-Women’s World Champion Storm at this past July’s All In Texas in her only shot at the gold.
