There’s a certain electricity that crackles through the wrestling world in the weeks leading up to Full Gear. It’s a different feeling from the carnival of All In or the high-stakes lottery of Revolution. Full Gear is visceral. It’s personal. It’s the event where the phrase “I Quit” has decided world titles, where the barbaric WarGames structure has hosted some of the company’s most iconic moments, and where the line between athlete and icon is permanently blurred.
The card for November 22nd is shaping up to be a perfect storm of veteran prowess, rising star ambition, and personal vendettas that have boiled over into pure, unadulterated animosity. Let’s break down the confirmed and heavily speculated matches that will define the night.
The Pinnacle of the Industry: AEW World Championship Match
(C) Maxwell Jacob Friedman vs. “The American Dragon” Bryan Danielson
This isn’t just a main event; it’s a thesis statement for AEW itself. On one side, you have MJF, the self-proclaimed “Devil,” who has, against all odds, carved out a reign of terror as a fighting, albeit still smarmy, champion. He’s shed some of his cronies, relying on his own in-ring genius, which has always been there under the layers of ego and cheap heat. He’s a champion who believes the world revolves around him, and for the last several months, he’s been right.
Standing across from him is the man who needs no introduction, but deserves one anyway: Bryan Danielson. This is not simply “one more match” for the American Dragon. This is his stated, unequivocal goal: to have one last, legendary world title run before his in-ring career winds down. He has run through every contender put in front of him, delivering classic after classic, reminding everyone why he is considered the best technical wrestler of his generation, and perhaps any generation.
The Story So Far: This feud ignited not with a cheap shot, but with a handshake and a stark warning. Danielson, after winning a number one contender’s match, stood face-to-face with MJF and told him, plain and simple, “Your reign ends at Full Gear. Not because you’re not great, but because I am better.” MJF, for the first time in a long time, was speechless. He respects Bryan, and that respect is what terrifies him. He can’t get in Bryan’s head with his usual tricks because Bryan’s mind is a fortress of focus and determination.
The Deep Dive: The psychology of this match will be a masterclass. Can MJF withstand the relentless, limb-targeting assault of Danielson? Can he push the Dragon to a place of pure violence that negates his technical advantage? And crucially, will MJF’s ego allow him to win clean, or will he retreat to his nefarious roots, perhaps introducing a new “Pinnacle” or using the ring bell hammer to secure the win? This match has “instant classic” written all over it, and the outcome will define AEW’s direction heading into 2026.

A Clash of Titans: The AEW World Tag Team Championship Ladder Match
(C) The Young Bucks (Matt & Nick Jackson) vs. FTR (Dax Harwood & Cash Wheeler)
— If The Young Bucks Lose, They Can Never Challenge for the Tag Titles Again
If the world title match is a thesis, this is the epic poem. The greatest tag team rivalry of the modern era reaches its absolute, final crescendo. There are no more points to prove, no more “best in the world” debates to be had. This is about legacy, finality, and the ultimate high-risk stipulation: a Ladder Match with career-altering consequences.
The Young Bucks, the flamboyant, high-flying, rule-bending innovators, stand atop the division once again. FTR, the gritty, old-school, fundamentals-first technicians, have clawed their way back for one last shot. The stipulation, demanded by FTR and reluctantly accepted by the Bucks, adds a layer of desperation we’ve never seen in this feud before.
The Story So Far: The tension has been simmering since their last legendary encounter. A miscommunication cost FTR a match months ago, leading to a simmering rift between the two veterans. They’ve traded wins and insults on weekly television, with each promo feeling less like wrestling hype and more like genuine, heartfelt animosity. The Bucks claim FTR is holding onto a past that’s dead and buried, while FTR insists the Bucks have corrupted the pure art of tag team wrestling.
The Deep Dive: A Ladder Match between these four is a terrifying and exhilarating prospect. Imagine Cash Wheeler powerbombing Nick Jackson onto a ladder bridged between the ring and the barricade. Picture Matt Jackson hitting a Meltzer Driver off the top of a 20-foot ladder. This match will be a brutal, spot-filled carnage that pushes the limits of what the human body can endure. The stipulation means The Young Bucks will pull out every cheat, every superkick, every desperate move in their arsenal, while FTR will look to systematically dismantle their opponents with brutal, ladder-assisted precision. This isn’t just for titles; it’s for immortality.
The House Always Wins? AEW TBS Championship Match
(C) “The Native Beast” Nyla Rose vs. “The CEO” Mercedes Moné
Don’t let the moniker “TBS Championship” fool you; this is a main-event level fight. Nyla Rose, having finally recaptured the gold she has long felt was hers, has been an unstoppable force of nature. She’s bulldozed through the entire women’s division, leaving a trail of broken bodies and shattered aspirations in her wake. Her power is absolute, her demeanor, fearsome.
But standing in her path is the most business-savvy, charismatic, and technically gifted star in the game: Mercedes Moné. Mercedes returned to AEW not just to compete, but to own the division. She’s been methodical, calculating, and ruthless in her pursuit of gold. This is a clash of styles and personalities that is pure dynamite.
The Story So Far: The feud ignited when Nyla, in a display of sheer dominance, interrupted a victory celebration by Moné. Rose didn’t just issue a challenge; she issued a statement by laying out Moné with a devastating Beast Bomb on the ramp. Moné, ever the professional, responded not with a brawl, but with a pointed promo about how “real stars know how to main event, not just destroy.” This has become a battle of ego vs. id, of calculated brilliance vs. raw, unadulterated power.
The Deep Dive: The key to this match lies in Mercedes’ strategy. Can she use her speed and technical wizardry to ground the Beast? Can she target a leg to neutralize the Beast Bomb? Or will Nyla’s overwhelming power be too much, even for the savvy CEO? This match has the potential to steal the entire show and will be a brutal, physical war that elevates the entire women’s division.
