AEW Full Gear reportedly taking place in Los Angeles

Posted on by Josh Nason

AEW’s traditional final pay-per-view of the calendar year is reportedly heading out west.

According to a report in Fightful, AEW Full Gear will take place for the first time ever in Los Angeles, California, on Saturday, November 18th at the Kia Forum — a venue they have previously ran.

While the report also states that the previous Wednesday’s Dynamite is tabbed for Ontario, California, it’s unclear how that Saturday’s edition of Collision will be handled. This will be the first time since Collision kicked off that AEW will be dealing with that time conflict.

This will be the fifth-ever Full Gear — an event that, unlike Double or Nothing or All Out, doesn’t have a traditional fixed home location.

The debut in 2019 emanated from Baltimore, Maryland; followed by 2020 in Jacksonville, Florida; 2021 in Minneapolis, Minnesota; and last year’s in Newark, New Jersey.

Last year’s location and date was announced during All Out, confirmed a report from earlier in that week.

NXT TakeOver: WarGames set for return this November

Posted on by Bryan Rose

For the second year in a row, WarGames will be taking place inside two NXT rings.

WWE announced this afternoon on their NXT Twitter account that the WarGames match would be making a return at their Los Angeles TakeOver event this November. Oddly, WWE had announced the show earlier this morning as simply NXT TakeOver Los Angeles, with no mention of the bout. 

Last year’s match was the first to take place under the WWE banner and the first official WarGames match since 1998. Last year’s match had Undisputed Era defeating The Authors of Pain and Roderick Strong plus SAnitY in a match filled with brawling, sick bumps and weapons. Adam Cole got the win for his team, pinning Eric Young after hitting a shining wizard into a steel chair.

Tickets will go on sale starting on Friday at 1 p.m. ET on nxttickets.com. It will take place on November 17, the day before Survivor Series, at the Staples Center.
