There has been an important change in AEW’s plans for its next pay-per-view event, Full Gear, which takes place next month. There has been some progress made on the card for the show.
AEW World Heavyweight Champion MJF will face Jay White, AEW Women’s World Champion Hikaru Shida will face Toni Storm, ROH Tag Team Champion MJF will face The Gunns (Austin & Colten Gunn), and Christian Cage, Luchasaurus, and Nick Wayne will face Sting, Darby Allin, and TBA.
The idea was for FTR to defend their AEW Tag Team Titles against The Young Bucks at the show, which would be their fourth match together. Plans for it changed when FTR lost the crowns to Ricky Starks and Big Bill.
FTR proposed the loss with the idea of a rematch, with the winners defending against the Young Bucks.
Dave Meltzer stated in the most recent issue of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter that plans had changed.
Meltzer wrote, “The belief right now is that everything has changed. The Young Bucks won the four-team match at WrestleDream to earn a tag title match, but when they returned to television this past week, the announcers never brought up them being in line for a tag title or winning that match. In fact, as best I can tell, the four-way win hasn’t been talked about in weeks. It also could be Big Bill & Ricky Starks in a rematch with FTR on the PPV rather than television.”
The rematch was originally scheduled for Saturday’s Collision, but nothing was mentioned of it happening, despite indications of a rematch happening in recent weeks.
