AEW Full Gear 2021 had many memorable matches and moments that will be remembered for years to come.

AEW Full Gear 2021 has received universal praise for a strong card that delivered entertaining matches and a formal coronation in the main event. The outcomes and actions that went down this past weekend will have lasting effects on where All Elite Wrestling heads next.

Hangman Page defeated Kenny Omega to win the AEW World Championship in an excellent main event that culminated the Millenial Cowboy's journey to the top of the company.

The opener saw two of the four pillars of All Elite Wrestling in MJF and Darby Allin tear it up in a fantastic encounter, while Lucha Bros. vs. FTR and Bryan Danielson vs. Miro were both great in their own right.

With the dust settling from an exciting night of pro wrestling, the next chapter set to kick off on AEW Dynamite will be intriguing to see how rivalries continue and what new issues might arise. In this article, let's look at the five feuds that could emerge from AEW Full Gear 2021.


#5 Dr. Britt Baker D.M.D. vs. Hikaru Shida vs. Serena Deeb could emerge from AEW Full Gear 2021

Dr. Britt Baker D.M.D., successfully defended her Women's Championship over Tay Conti at AEW Full Gear 2021. It was a solid bout that showed Conti's progression and furthered the current reign for Baker. For most fans, the money match for Britt is with her arch-rival Thunder Rosa. This makes many challengers seem lame duck as a result.

However, All Elite Wrestling has been heating up a non-title rivalry with two accomplished workers who continued on the Full Gear 2021 Buy In. Serena Deeb sat ringside during the Buy In match which saw Hikaru Shida and Thunder Rosa take on Nyla Rose and Jamie Hayter. Deeb was scouting her current rival, Shida.

The two women have traded wins over the past two months. Serena prevented Shida from her 50th win on the Dynamite Anniversary Show. Meanwhile, the former AEW Women's World Champion gained vengeance by beating Deeb to advance in the TBS Women's Championship Tournament.

Despite Hikaru Shida still being in the tournament, it seems Deeb will be close by to cause a possible distraction.

AEW could use this growing animosity to put both women into the title scene. Britt Baker needs challengers with credibility, and not too many have the accolades of these two.

Hikaru Shida is the longest-reigning AEW Women's World Champion ever and Serena Deeb is a former NWA Women's World Champion. Coming out of Full Gear, a three-way feud may be something new that would be refreshing.

#4 PAC & Cody Rhodes vs. FTR could emerge from AEW Full Gear 2021

PAC and Cody Rhodes teamed for the first time to pick up a win over Andrade El Idolo and Malakai Black in tag team action at AEW Full Gear 2021. The two men didn't get along for much of this contest, but the Death Triangle member pulled things out, hitting the Black Arrow to pin Andrade for the victory. It would seem like the end of their unlikely alliance until the post-match angle.

Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler of FTR jumped PAC and Cody Rhodes following the Full Gear bout. The current AAA Tag Team Champions helped Andrade beat Cody a few weeks back on Dynamite.

It looks like FTR will feud with the mismatch duo of PAC and Cody Rhodes moving forward, or at least for a television showdown.


#3 Sammy Guevara vs. Jay Lethal could emerge from AEW Full Gear 2021

AEW pay-per-views have become known for their surprises this year, and Full Gear was no different. Because this show had a stacked lineup, it didn't need a huge debut. The company instead introduced former IMPACT Wrestling star Jay Lethal as the newest signee.

Lethal is a well-traveled competitor who has shared the squared circle with AJ Styles, Samoa Joe, Adam Cole, Kurt Angle and Ric Flair. He is a star that could benefit All Elite Wrestling and allow younger talent to flourish against him.

This is what made his challenge to TNT Champion Sammy Guevara so satisfying. Guevara is the perfect first opponent for Lethal to have a show stealer with.

#2 The Lucha Brothers vs. Santana & Ortiz could emerge from AEW Full Gear 2021

The Lucha Brothers retained the AEW World Tag Team Championships over FTR in a great tag team clash at AEW Full Gear 2021. Penta El Zero Miedo and Rey Fenix have only scratched the surface of their title reign and will look to further add to their legacy as champions. Although their current issue with FTR may not be over yet, there are plenty of tag teams that will look to challenge.

At the top of the list has to be Proud N Powerful. Santana and Ortiz debuted for All Elite Wrestling at All Out 2019 and have been constant figures in the division since. The Inner Circle members have picked up wins over The Young Bucks, Best Friends and FTR, so they should be in the rankings and look to position themselves as the number one contenders.

Santana and Ortiz are also coming off the heels of a win with the Inner Circle in the Minneapolis Street Fight at Full Gear. They are riding high and have plenty of momentum. These two teams are no strangers to one another with their outstanding rivalry in IMPACT Wrestling.

The Lucha Brothers and Proud N Powerful have amazing chemistry with one another and consistently deliver quality bouts across multiple promotions. They have all crossed paths just a few months back when Penta, Fenix, Santana and Ortiz teamed to beat the HFO. With both teams winning at Full Gear 2021, it seems like an inevitable showdown.


#1 Hangman Page vs. Bryan Danielson could emerge from AEW Full Gear 2021

AEW Full Gear 2021 will always be remembered for the official coronation of Hangman Page as AEW World Champion. His stellar main event win over Kenny Omega felt like an achievement for the entire company, completing two-and-a-half years of intricate storytelling with this feud. Page has finally won the gold, but the real work starts as a defending champion.

Bryan Danielson defeated Miro to win the AEW World Title Eliminator Tournament Finals and earn a World Championship shot at Full Gear. Most fans thought that there would be a highly anticipated rematch with Danielson and Omega for the title, but it seems that The American Dragon will face Hangman first.

Page and Danielson are two of the most popular wrestlers today. Babyface vs. babyface clashes are quite rare for AEW. There has been Omega vs. Moxley at Full Gear 2019 and the Cody vs. Darby series.

However, this just might be the biggest. The American Dragon has been undefeated since his AEW debut and Hangman has been on a roll since his return last month.

Tony Khan has said that he wants to give the fans the biggest matches possible and this contest fits the bill. Danielson could be able to complete a magical run in the company and win the top prize in All Elite Wrestling, while Page could cement his title win by becoming the first man to beat Bryan in AEW.

That's why Hangman Page vs. Bryan Danielson is the biggest feud to emerge from AEW Full Gear 2021.
