Full Gear is a professional wrestling pay-per-view (PPV) event held annually in November by All Elite Wrestling (AEW) since 2019. It is considered one of AEW's "Big Five", alongside Revolution, Double or Nothing, All In, and All Out; the promotion's five biggest events held annually. [1] [2] On August 4, 2025, AEW announced that the seventh annual Full Gear would take place on Saturday, November 22 at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey. [3] This will be the second consecutive Full Gear held at the venue, following 2024, and the third overall, including 2022. [4] Tickets for Full Gear went on sale August 25. [5] This event will be sponsored by DC Comics, following the announcement of a partnership between DC and AEW that will include the release of AEW-themed comic books. [6]

Storylines

Full Gear will feature 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, who 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 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]
