AEW Full Gear SCOOPS THREAD
🕑 Added 2025-11-22 22:00:07 +0000 UTCWelcome to the Fightful AEW Full Gear SCOOPS thread. We will update this throughout the day and night as we get more information. In addition to Full Gear news, we have a ton of AEW updates for subscribers as well. After the show, join for the Fightful Select exclusive SOUR GRAPS post show.
Tonight and Full Gear
We are expecting the Hangman Page and Samoa Joe feud to continue in some capacity following tonight.
AEW is slated to get a number of stars back in the next month, including MJF. MJF is scheduled for WrestleCade next weekend and doesn't typically do a lot of appearances when he's out of action. He recently wrapped Violent Night 2.
We aren't sure of Big Boom AJ's AEW future after this week, but he and QT Marshall have wanted to team together since he was brought in and it finally became a reality. QT is a long time friend of AJ's. His first AEW match happened a year ago this weekend, so it's reasonable to think he's on a one-year deal. That is speculatory and not a report.
It was claimed to Fightful that NWA talent and personnel were asked to lay off the criticism of AEW's National Title, but not by AEW themselves. It was implied it was from within NWA.
Hangman Page and Samoa Joe are set to close the show as of this afternoon.
AEW has a lot of indie wrestlers as extras on scene.
AEW news
Swerve Strickland is supposed to be back within the next month, barring any setbacks. There was talk of him originally having time off after AEW All In, but it got pushed back a bit.
Jeremy Flynn, who works with TNA in live events, is finishing up with the company this weekend.
Regarding the Speedball Mike Bailey/Shelton Benjamin non-kickout audible. We weren't told of any heat on anyone, but it was stressed to us that's why audibles are frowned upon. Because the ref or the coach/agent isn't in on it.
Tony Khan appeared on the Ariel Helwani show. For quite some time, talent from AEW were not able to appear on the program because of Helwani's previous comments towards Tony Khan. AEW's head of PR that was mentioned in the interview worked hard to establish and repair the relationship.
Young Bucks noted on Adam's Apple that they were "very close" to signing with WWE in 2018. WWE was offering them $500,000 guaranteed for a multi-year deal. At the time, the minimum in WWE was significantly lower than it is now, with way more dates.
Regarding Britt Baker being brought back "when the time is right," we haven't heard any cases of her being mentioned or planned of late.
This past week, Rebel (not Reba) revealed her primary pulmonary lymphoma diagnosis. She actually remains under AEW contract is featured on their roster page, and is being paid by the company.
Zayda Steel is not signed to AEW as of yet, although many in the company expect it. She's been at a number of recent TV episodes.
AEW's got back-to-back weeks of double tapings, but many AEW talent are still facing the same travel schedule. There was Boston Wednesday for a double taping, Newark this weekend, Nashville for the double taping, then many wrestlers have Wrestlecade Thanksgiving weekend, and back to Indiana on December 3 and Columbus for ROH/AEW on December 5-6.
BETTING ODDS
Hangman Page is a monster favorite on this show.
Brodido, Kris Statlander, Mark Briscoe, Kenny Omega & Jurassic Express are all favorites.

Nevermind, Triller is not doing well at all. Persistent buffering.

So, Triller missed the first 6 minutes of the tailgate brawl.

It's too bad about Rebal I hope she gets well soon
