Move over Costco hot dogs; AEW just stocked up on Big Boom AJ and his bargain-bin antics! The Costco Guys—Big Boom AJ and his son Big Justice—rolled their oversized shopping cart straight into AEW’s Full Gear, stirring up a whirlwind of fan reactions. Love them or hate them, these two are the ultimate buy-one-get-one spectacle.
Big Boom AJ: Bulk Wrestling, Baby!
Big Boom AJ made his AEW debut during the Zero Hour pre-show, squashing QT Marshall in a match that felt like someone cleared out the “Manager’s Specials” aisle. Meanwhile, another kid sensation, The Rizzler, proved he’s got more time management skills than half the locker room by serving as the guest timekeeper for the bout. Yes, a child kept time in wrestling. Are we shocked? Not at all.
But here’s the juicy markdown: QT reportedly lobbied hard for his match to air second during Zero Hour. His reason? Keeping fans glued for the final act of the pre-show. Instead, Big Boom AJ headlined Zero Hour, turning the segment into a chaotic family barbecue where everything’s slightly burnt, but everyone loves it anyway.
Backstage: Rizzler-Mania Runs Wild!
While AJ delivered his Price Club Special in the ring, backstage was RizzlerFest 2024. Talent and visitors flocked to snap selfies with the kid. The guy’s more over than QT’s haircut, which, let’s face it, isn’t a high bar.
According to Fightful Select, AEW loved the Costco spectacle so much they’re considering future collaborations. AEW officials have noted that AJ “would absolutely return if the company calls,” while QT Marshall has probably added “never main event Zero Hour again” to his list of grievances.
Zero Hour Rundown
The pre-show opened with a hard-hitting bout between Deonna Purrazzo and Anna Jay, followed by a four-way that saw Buddy Matthews, The Beast Mortos, Dante Martin, and Komander doing flips like they were auditioning for AEW Cirque du Soleil. But let’s be real, all roads led to Big Boom AJ.
As for the main show? We’re not saying the Costco Guys had better storytelling than the Four-Way Tag Title Match, but…well, nobody left the Rizzler hanging.
