AEW’s Full Gear 2024 promises a night of high-stakes clashes, shocking twists, and storytelling that could redefine the landscape of professional wrestling. The Prudential Center in Newark, NJ, plays host to the sixth edition of this marquee event, which has earned a reputation as one of AEW’s most memorable pay-per-views. Here’s the full breakdown of what’s in store:
Main Card:
1. AEW World Championship: Jon Moxley (c) vs. Orange Cassidy
The Death Riders’ leader, Jon Moxley, faces Orange Cassidy in their rubber match. With a history of brutal encounters, Cassidy is fighting not just for the title, but for AEW’s soul. Can “Freshly Squeezed” channel his serious side and dethrone Moxley, or will Moxley continue his dominance?
2. Swerve Strickland vs. Bobby Lashley
In a clash of titans, “Swerve’s House” welcomes Bobby Lashley and The Hurt Syndicate to AEW in a match fueled by weeks of escalating attacks. Will Swerve prove his house is indestructible, or will Lashley deliver a Syndicate-sized eviction notice?
3. Kyle Fletcher vs. Will Ospreay
Fletcher seeks to escape Ospreay’s shadow and prove he’s more than a reflection of the “Aerial Assassin.” With personal history and a Tiger Driver ’91 already in play, this match promises fireworks and ferocity.
4. TNT Championship: Jack Perry (c) vs. Daniel Garcia
Garcia’s mission to claim AEW gold has become deeply personal. After smashing Perry’s bus and playing mind games, will Garcia back up his brutality and take the TNT Championship, or will Perry’s resilience triumph?
5. TBS Championship: Kris Statlander vs. Mercedes Monè (c)
Statlander aims to reclaim the TBS Championship, but Monè’s alliance with Kamille makes this an uphill battle. Can Statlander outmatch “The CEO” and her powerhouse enforcer?
6. AEW World Tag Team Championship Four-Way:
Private Party (c) vs. The Outrunners vs. Kings of the Black Throne vs. The Acclaimed
Private Party’s first defense pits them against three hungry teams in a chaotic, high-stakes match. Will their reign survive, or will the odds crush them?
7. Jay White vs. Hangman Adam Page
White and Page continue their bitter rivalry after WrestleDream, with Page seeking redemption for his loss. Expect a hard-hitting bout that could escalate to a war.
8. MJF vs. Roderick Strong
Before MJF can focus on Adam Cole, he faces Roderick Strong in a personal grudge match. Can the AEW World Champion exact revenge for the betrayal at Worlds End?
Special Segments:
- Mariah May’s Champagne Celebration
The AEW Women’s World Champion celebrates with her partner Mina Shirakawa. Will this party stay classy or descend into chaos?
Zero Hour Pre-Show:
