It seems like we are getting Jon Moxley vs. Kenny Omega after the events of AEW Full Gear. Fans have been clamoring for a rematch, and this time, it is for the AEW World Championship.
Full Gear 2020 might go down as the very best pay-per-view put together by AEW. It was filled with excellent matches that were given plenty of time. They put on a great night of in-ring action. You had an excellent opening match, an entertaining “Elite Deletion” match, a brutal “I Quit” match, and some very surprising new champions were even crowned as well.
While everyone ponders why Gangrel and Hurricane Helms are still feuding in 2020, here's the list of the top five most surprising moments of AEW Full Gear:
#5 Darby Allin wins the TNT Championship at AEW Full Gear
Darby Allin is only 27 years old and it seems he is a future star in All Elite Wrestling. His major hurdle was always Cody Rhodes, having failed to overcome The American Nightmare on all previous encounters. Could he possibly break that streak at AEW Full Gear?
The answer was a resounding and surprising yes. Cody Rhodes and Darby Allin had another solid match at AEW Full Gear. It was back and forth throughout the entire 17-minute match. We had multiple pinfalls in a row before Darby pulled off the surprising pinfall victory. It was so sudden and so clearly emotional for Darby Allin.
Given that Team Taz attacked Allin and Cody after their match, the new TNT Champion already has more than one challenger eyeing his title.
#4 The Young Bucks finally win the title at AEW Full Gear
After months of failing to win the AEW Tag Team Championships, The Young Bucks were super kicking everyone and everything in All Elite Wrestling. They were so desperate to win the titles they were willing to give up challenging for the title if they lost. Could we have another member of The Elite missing out on title opportunities? Unlike Cody Rhodes, the Young Bucks were successful at AEW Full Gear.
The match was one of the best tag matches of the entire year, arguably even better than the tag match at AEW Revolution between The Young Bucks and Adam Page & Kenny Omega. This match was like a love letter to tag team wrestling with tributes to DIY, Hart Foundation, Dudley Boyz, Hardy Boyz, and the Steiner Brothers. It ended with FTR trying to go high flying and being met by a Superkick instead. The Young Bucks finally have won the AEW World Tag Team Championship clean.
It seems like FTR, and the Young Bucks should continue their long term feud. Who doesn’t want to see a rematch? The tag team division is clearly the strength of the company and The Young Bucks will lead it well going forward after AEW Full Gear.
#3 The entire Elite Deletion match at AEW Full Gear
At this point, it wouldn't be wrong to say that Matt Hardy has become synonymous with cinematic matches. At AEW Full Gear, we had the latest in the long series of Hardy Compound Cinematic matches. The Elite Deletion Match was an entertaining match between Matt Hardy and Sammy Guevara, which had appearances from Private Party, Santana and Ortiz to make this seem more like a multi-man tag team match. Then it got even weirder at Elite Deletion.
We had fireworks used as weapons. We had Gangrel appearing in 2020 to continue a feud with Hurricane Helms. We had the reporter Gregory Helms thrown into a lake. This was when the match moved into the Hardy garage. Then we had many brutal chair shots and some painful-looking table spots inside the Hardy garage. After a brutal looking chair shot to the head, Matt Hardy finally defeated Sammy Guevara. The match ended and then Señor Benjamin took out the trash can that had Sammy Guevara inside.
This seems to be the end of the feud at AEW Full Gear. But it proves Matt Hardy can still surprise and entertain in 2020. This is great to see after their shocking match at AEW All Out, and it is only fair that their feud finally got a proper ending.
#2 MJF cheats to win at AEW Full Gear
MJF sure wants to be a part of The Inner Circle. He has bought them gifts. He had a great steak dinner and a wonderful musical number with Chris Jericho. He even was part of an Inner Circle Town Hall. It all led to a match to join the Inner Circle on Saturday night at AEW Full Gear.
The match itself was fine, but it was the ending that provided the biggest surprise at AEW Full Gear. Chris Jericho went to hit MJF with his baseball bat when Aubrey Edwards back was turned. This was when MJF decided to play Eddie Guerrero and fake being hit. He used this distraction to roll-up Chris Jericho for the win.
It was very interesting to see MJF go to extreme lengths to join The Inner Circle. Will the partnership last for very long? Or will it eventually lead to a power struggle for the leadership of The Inner Circle between Chris Jericho and MJF? It will be interesting to watch going forward for sure.
#1 Jon Moxley makes Eddie Kingston say “I Quit” at AEW Full Gear
Eddie Kingston's push to the top of the card since joining the company just a few months ago surprised a lot of fans. His mic work has been among the very best in pro wrestling, and he has worked a good hardcore style in recent months. But it was a shock to see him pushed into the main event so quickly at AEW Full Gear, but at the same time, nobody can deny that his work with Jon Moxley has not been excellent.
The real life friendship brought into the title match feud just made it seem that much more personal. It was taken to another very brutal level on Saturday night in Jacksonville.
The “I Quit” match between Jon Moxley and Eddie Kingston was quite brutal at AEW Full Gear. The unique and creative ways they used barb wire, chairs, and thumbtacks were certainly memorable. The match ended with Jon Moxley using a Bulldog Choke with some barb wire to get Eddie Kingston to finally quit.
This is the end of Eddie Kingston’s time in the main event and it is now time for Omega-Moxley for the AEW World Championship.
