Full Gear features professional wrestling matches that involve different wrestlers from pre-existing feuds and storylines. ^[7] Storylines are produced on AEW's weekly television programs, Dynamite and Collision .

At the 2024 Full Gear, Mercedes Moné defeated Kris Statlander to retain the AEW TBS Championship. At the 2025 WrestleDream, following Statlander's successful defence of her recently won AEW Women's World Championship, she was interrupted by Moné, who was next scheduled to defend the TBS Championship. Moné ordered Statlander to leave "her" ring and Statlander begrudgingly complied. Following Moné's successful title defence, however, Statlander returned to the ring and attacked Moné. Moné subsequently challenged Statlander to a match for her AEW Women's World Championship; Statlander accepted, and the match was made official for Full Gear.

During the Dynamite 6th Anniversary Show on October 1, AEW World Champion "Hangman" Adam Page teamed with two-thirds of the AEW World Trios Champions The Opps (Samoa Joe and Powerhouse Hobbs) to defeat the Death Riders (Jon Moxley, Claudio Castagnoli, and Daniel Garcia) in a trios match. Following the match, an argument ensued between Page and Joe, with Joe accusing Page of stealing his tag-in and trying to show him up during the match. Joe then vehemently stated that Page has never beaten him in the past, before striking Page in the face. This led to Page challenging Joe to a match at WrestleDream for Page's World Championship, which Joe accepted. ^[8] There, Page defeated Joe to retain his championship. Following the match, The Opps (Joe, Hobbs, and Katsuyori Shibata) attacked Page, turning heel. ^[9] At Fright Night Dynamite on October 29, Joe defeated Bobby Lashley, Hook, and Ricochet in a Fright Night four-way match to determine the number one contender for the AEW World Championship and challenge Page for the title at Full Gear. ^[10] At Blood & Guts on November 12, Page defeated Hobbs in a Falls Count Anywhere match but was attacked by the rest of the Opps as the Blood and Guts steel cage was lowered. However, Eddie Kingston and Hook arrived to assist Page. Page then challenged Joe to have their title match inside a steel cage, which Joe accepted.

At Fright Night Dynamite, FTR (Cash Wheeler and Dax Harwood) defeated JetSpeed (Kevin Knight and "Speedball" Mike Bailey), Jurassic Express ("Jungle" Jack Perry and Luchasaurus), and The Young Bucks (Matt Jackson and Nick Jackson) in a Fright Night four-way tag team match to become the number one contender for the AEW World Tag Team Championship and earn the right to challenge Brodido (Bandido and Brody King) for the title at Full Gear. ^[10]

At WrestleDream, Kyle Fletcher retained the TNT Championship against Mark Briscoe. On the November 5 episode of Dynamite, Briscoe challenged Fletcher to a No Disqualification match for the TNT Championship at Full Gear, Fletcher's manager, Don Callis proposed another stipulation for the match: If Briscoe loses, he'll be forced to join the Don Callis Family. Briscoe accepted and the match was made official later that night. ^[11]

On November 5, AEW President, Tony Khan announced the creation of a new championship, the AEW National Championship. It was announced that the inaugural champion would be decided in a Casino Gauntlet match. After some back and forth on Dynamite it was announced that Bobby Lashley, Shelton Benjamin, and Ricochet would be participants in the match. Three nights later on Collision, JetSpeed (Kevin Knight and "Speedball" Mike Bailey) in an interview announced that they would be participants as well. ^[12]

At Blood and Guts in the Men's Blood and Guts match, Kyle O'Reilly made Jon Moxley submit, thus giving his team the win. ^[13] On the following Dynamite, Death Riders (Moxley and Claudio Castagnoli) defeated Roderick Strong and O'Reilly stablemate of The Conglomeration Orange Cassidy in a tag team match. After that, O'Reilly came out and attacked Moxley, and O'Reilly subsequently challenged Moxley to a No Holds Barred match at Full Gear, which was subsequently made official later that night. ^[14]
