Maxwell Jacob Friedman vs Darby Allin at Full Gear 2021 is the main event AEW fans around the world want to see, but not the one they need right now. Two of the brightest young stars in professional wrestling will clash at the pay-per-view in what promises to be a match for the ages.
Since his historic bout against CM Punk at AEW All Out 2021, Darby Allin has run the gauntlet of the Pinnacle. He faced Shawn Spears on Dynamite ten days removed from the Chicago pay-per-view and defeated The Chairman.
He would then team up with Sting to face FTR in a tag team match at the Grand Slam episode of AEW Dynamite. At Arthur Ashe Stadium, the dynamic duo would come out on top, besting Cash Wheeler and Dax Harwood in their own game. Having faced everyone in the stable except Wardlow, the Daredevil is on a crash course heading straight for the leader.
Following a brutal backstage beatdown at the hands of the faction and some phenomenal promos between the pair, Allin is finally set to get his hands on MJF at Full Gear 2021. In this list, let's take a look at five possible outcomes of the match.
Of course, if you think the match could end a different way, feel free to let us know in the comments section below!
#5 A clean finish to MJF vs Darby Allin at AEW Full Gear 2021
MJF himself said it best - these two men will be nothing short of legends when they're done and dusted. What better way to earmark their first-ever singles encounter inside an AEW ring than to have a clean finish for their bout at Full Gear 2021?
Both men are destined for greatness and for us to see either a Coffin Drop for a pinfall victory or even a Salt of the Earth armbar for a submission victory would be a befitting ending to this incredible matchup.
#4 Could we see a distraction or even a disqualification at the hands of the Pinnacle?
Could the rest of the faction rally up to aide their leader at Full Gear 2021?
The Pinnacle are one of the top factions in AEW, and have proven it time and again through their battles with the Inner Circle. They will stop at nothing to keep themselves at the top of the company, even if it means resorting to underhanded tactics.
What if, in a bid to protect Darby Allin, AEW decides to go down the route of the Pinnacle interfering in the match? They could cause distractions or even disqualification in a bid to put Allin out for good.
#3 Sting cleans house at Full Gear 2021
Considering that the Pinnacle won't be too far away from ringside at Full Gear 2021, one can assume that Sting will also be in close quarters to ensure everything goes well for Darby Allin.
Ever since making his debut at the Winter is Coming episode of AEW Dynamite last year, Sting has had a second wind of sorts in his wrestling career. The man has put on some incredible performances, whether it be in a match or even just to take a bump and give a younger talent the rub.
Should Pinnacle decide to interfere in the match at Full Gear 2021, rest assured that Sting won't be too far behind. Could we see The Icon's streak of home runs continue?
#2 Darby Allin gives in to his demons at AEW Full Gear 2021
Much of the buildup to the match at AEW Full Gear 2021 revolved around MJF verbally berating Darby Allin. The Salt of the Earth has carefully curated his promos in such a way that he feels would irk the Daredevil and force him to give in to his emotions.
We could see an entirely new side to Darby Allin as he unleashes his wrath on Maxwell Jacob Friedman in glorious fashion. This past week on Dynamite, Darby capped off an incredible segment by parting the sea crowd and running MJF through the barricade in what had to be tremendously cathartic.
At Full Gear, what if Darby does give in? What if he does turn to the dark side? What if the warpaint that covers the left side of his body slowly takes over and consumes what is left of him?
#1 Could Wardlow turn on MJF at AEW Full Gear 2021?
Wardlow is a bonafide superstar. Everything about him screams main event player. He may not be the best in the world on the mic, but he doesn't need to be. The man has a presence about him that is very rare to find. An X-Factor, if you may.
The certainty of him turning on his boss is almost an afterthought in AEW fans' minds at this point. He is destined to turn on MJF and receive one of the loudest pops in the company's short history, so what better time to do so than Full Gear 2021?
AEW will almost certainly want to revisit the MJF-Darby Allin rivalry further down the road (maybe even with a title on the line). Having Wardlow turn on the Salt of the Earth would be a great way to end what is certainly going to be a barnburner of a match at Full Gear 2021.
