AEW Full Gear is returning to pay per view this Saturday night, November 7, at 8 PM from Daily's Place in Jacksonville, Flordia. The company has an incredible lineup that is arguably the best top-to-bottom card All Elite Wrestling has ever had for a pay per view event.
With every championship on the line and rumors of new free agent arrivals, there is potential for some massive moments coming out of the show this weekend. At the same token, there is potential for AEW to make some huge mistakes that they can never come back from.
While it was hard to narrow it down due to how big this show truly is, we will look at three things AEW should do at Full Gear and two things they absolutely shouldn't.
#5 AEW should put MJF in The Inner Circle
One of the more entertaining storylines going into Full Gear this weekend has been the ever-developing relationship between Maxwell Jacob Friedman and Chris Jericho of The Inner Circle.
After failing to capture the AEW World Championship from Jon Moxley, MJF declared that he believed he needed to be part of a stable to capture the title. Enter Jericho and The Inner Circle as MJF has spent the last several weeks trying to gain favor with The Demo-God to get a spot in the premiere heel faction in All Elite Wrestling.
From town halls to steak dinners, there has been a little bit of everything in the story leading up to this match. The stakes couldn't be higher for MJF because he gets to join The Inner Circle if he beats Jericho on Saturday night.
For MJF to win this match against someone as established as Jericho would be huge for him in his young career and the opportunity to not only continue to work with him but the rest of the members in The Inner Circle going forward.
It should go without saying that this will most likely lead to a power struggle between MJF and Jericho for control of The Inner Circle. It even creates a possibility to turn Jericho babyface for the first time in his AEW career. When you really think about it, with MJF joining The Inner Circle, the possibilities are endless.
#4 AEW shouldn't put the Women's title back on Nyla Rose
In a rematch from Double or Nothing earlier this year, Hikaru Shida will defend her AEW Women's World Championship against the Native Beast, Nyla Rose. Beyond the fact that Rose is the #1 contender via the AEW Power Rankings, there really wasn't a whole lot of story given to this match.
Most people believed that Dr. Britt Baker DMD would be in this spot against Shida at Full Gear, but it looks like the company is holding off that match for a bit longer.
If one thing is evident with the AEW women's division in 2020, it's that Baker is going to be the centerpiece of that division going forward in 2021 and beyond. Putting the title back on Rose makes little sense right now because having her against Baker for the title would probably force the fans to cheer for someone the company doesn't want them to.
As talented as Rose is, it's not her time right now. Shida and Baker is the money match for AEW going forward and just what they need to establish their women's division as a credible entity going forward. Rose's time will come around again, but it's not this Saturday night.
#3 AEW should put the TNT Championship on Darby Allin
No one can argue that Cody Rhodes has made the AEW TNT Championship credible in 2020. While Rhodes has already dropped the title once in a complete squash, it will mean a lot more when he loses it in a closely contested match.
Enter the man who's been looking for his marquee win in All Elite Wrestling since the company came into existence, Darby Allin. The strange enigma has had many incredible matches in his AEW career, including a few with the TNT Champion himself, even taking the American Nightmare to a time limit draw at Fyter Fest in 2019.
Allin's fanbase has grown considerably since that match and many are looking to see him get to the next level in AEW. There wouldn't be a bigger moment than finally getting his first win against Rhodes on pay per view for the TNT Championship.
With the championship win, Allin already has title contenders in the form of Team Taz members Brian Cage and Ricky Starks, and it doesn't hurt Rhodes at all. In fact, if this title changes hands. It will probably do a lot more for The American Nightmare than people realize, which we will cover later in this article.
#2 AEW shouldn't repeat last year's Full Gear with The Young Bucks
Wrestling fans are feeling a little bit of deja vu when it comes to a title match at this year's AEW Full Gear. Last year, Cody Rhodes told the world that if he didn't win the AEW World Championship against Chris Jericho that he would never challenge for that title again. He lost, and a year later, he has kept his word.
If anything, it has taught us that stipulations matter in All Elite Wrestling. They aren't something the company goes back on. So for The Young Bucks to find themselves in the same situation this weekend is a bit unnerving.
While the build to this dream match probably left a lot to be desired, this stipulation wasn't needed to make it any better. This creatively puts The Young Bucks in a must-win situation. There is no way that a tag team like Matt and Nick Jackson should never hold the AEW World Tag Team titles.
Even if the reign is a short one, AEW must have The Young Bucks defeat FTR on Saturday night. This is a feud that should go back and forth for months regardless. This can't be one and done.
Hopefully, AEW fans everywhere aren't left questioning Tony Khan's creative decisions following Full Gear this weekend.
#1 AEW should turn Cody Rhodes heel
After Darby Allin wins the AEW TNT Championship on Saturday, it's time for the company to pull a trigger on something that they have been teasing quite a bit throughout 2020. It's time for the American Nightmare to turn heel.
While Cody Rhodes is a great babyface, he's also an incredible heel. There is something about his personality and cocky demeanor that rubs a portion of the pro wrestling fanbase the wrong way. A heel turn on Saturday could make Rhodes a top heel in the company, along with the likes of MJF and Chris Jericho. If The Demo-God does turn face in 2021, they will need someone to fill his shoes and Rhodes is the perfect candidate.
With Rhodes continuing to build his Nightmare Family over the last several weeks, it will be interesting to see what comes of that group if the American Nightmare goes to the dark side.
Furthermore, with Brodie Lee not being on AEW television since dropping the TNT title back to Cody and the rise of popularity of the Dark Order, it would be very interesting if this leads to a double turn where a heel Nightmare Family is feuding with a face Dark Order.
Regardless of what happens from a creative standpoint on Saturday night, wrestling fans worldwide should get a great night of professional wrestling from AEW Full Gear.
