Bang Bang Gang Steal the $200K

The Zero Hour kicked off with a chaotic $200K three-way tag bout featuring Morrissey & Bryan Keith, The Outrunners, and the duo that insist they’re “not The Acclaimed anymore” (Anthony Bowens & Max Caster).
After a fast-paced sprint filled with dives, standoffs, and Big Bill throwing folks like laundry, the finish came when Juice Robinson rolled up Bowens, securing the briefcase for Bullet Club Gold.

Bowens immediately blamed Caster afterward — tension’s brewing.


QT Marshall & Big Boom AJ Score a Big Win

In a rough-and-tumble tag fight, QT Marshall & Big Boom AJ defeated Roppongi Vice, thanks in part to outside chaos involving Big Justice, Paul Wight, and various cheap shots.
A blockbuster–powerbomb combo sealed the deal.


Callis Family Drama Already Boiling

Backstage, Don Callis, Josh Alexander, and the Young Bucks hyped their million-dollar match, while Callis tried to reassure everyone that adding Okada to the Family wasn’t backfiring.
Spoiler: It absolutely was.


Kingston & HOOK Handle the WorkHorsemen

A short but stiff affair saw Eddie Kingston pin Anthony Henry while HOOK choked out JD Drake.


Sky Team Retain CMLL World Trios Championship; Callis Family Implodes

The Callis Family’s trios title challenge went sideways before the bell even rang.
Hechicero jumped Sky Team early, Mistico got his arm mangled, and Okada didn’t even show up until the fight was halfway done, arriving in style and making a full entrance while Takeshita fought alone.

Despite moments where Okada and Takeshita nearly came to blows, Sky Team rallied, and Mistico submitted Hechicero with La Mistica to retain.

Afterward, Okada and Takeshita argued again — this faction is duct-taped together at best.


PAC Defeats Darby Allin After Brutal Bat Shot

A wounded Darby Allin fought with taped-up burns and still pushed PAC to the brink.
The Bastard targeted the injuries relentlessly, including a sickening “Indian burn” spot and a catapult that sent Darby ricocheting through the ropes to the floor.

Despite a late rally, PAC used Sting’s bat behind the ref’s back to secure the pin.


Timeless Love Bombs Win Right to Choose Stipulation in Women’s Tag Title Tournament Semifinal

In a four-team sprint featuring the Babes of Wrath, Sisters of Sin, and Marina Shafir & Megan Bayne, the final moments saw Toni Storm and Harley Cameron trading roll-ups.
Storm reversed a small package to take the win, giving the Timeless Love Bombs control over their semifinal stipulation.


FTR Become AEW World Tag Team Champions

In a show-stealing war, FTR dethroned Brodido (Bandido & Brody King) in a match loaded with brutal strikes, crazy dives, illegal belt shots, and more nearfalls than viewers could count.

Bandido survived an absurd amount of punishment, but the final Shatter Machine finally kept him down.


Ricochet Becomes First AEW National Champion

The Casino Gauntlet was chaos from the opening bell. GOA attacked early entrants, Ricochet took out MVP with a mic assault, and alliances constantly formed and shattered.

The final sequence saw Ricochet hit the Spirit Gun on Kevin Knight to claim the inaugural National Championship.


Kyle O’Reilly Forces Jon Moxley to Tap in a Blood-Soaked War

Moxley and O’Reilly tried to murder each other with forks, chains, submissions, and absolutely no restraint.
Mox even hit a Pillmanizer on Kyle’s arm — but KOR refused to quit.

In the end, Kyle wrapped a chain around Moxley’s ankle and forced Mox to tap out, handing him a rare submission loss.
Mox gave a nod of respect… then attacked Kyle again moments later.


Mark Briscoe Wins TNT Championship in Ultra-Violent Classic

If Mark Briscoe lost, he’d have to join the Callis Family — so he came armed with ladders, chairs, tacks, and the spirit of every Delaware backyard brawl.

Fletcher busted Briscoe open early, and both men carved each other up with ladders, screwdrivers, and barbed wire.
After surviving a litany of brainbusters and landing a Razor’s Edge through a barbed wire table, Briscoe finished it with a Jay Driller onto the tacks to win the TNT title.


Bucks Join the Callis Family… Then Don’t

The $1,000,000 six-man saw the Young Bucks & Josh Alexander defeat Jurassic Express & Kenny Omega, thanks to Josh’s vicious ankle lock and the Bucks’ BTE Trigger.

Post-match, Callis revealed the Bucks were now officially part of the Family — until Alexander went after Omega’s leg again.
The Bucks had a crisis of conscience, threw the money down, and helped save their former best friend, ending with a big feel-good reunion hug.


Kris Statlander Retains AEW Women’s World Championship Against Mercedes Moné

Moné spent the whole match dissecting Statlander’s arm and hit FOURTEEN straight suplexes, but Stat wouldn’t quit.

Despite the damage, Statlander powered through and retained via Saturday Night Fever.


Samoa Joe Wins AEW World Championship; Swerve Strickland Returns

In a blood-soaked steel cage main event, Hangman Page and Samoa Joe tore each other apart until the Opps, Shibata, and Eddie Kingston sparked bedlam.

The turning point came when HOOK turned heel, revealed an Opps shirt, and blasted Hangman with the AEW title belt.
Joe hit the Muscle Buster to become AEW World Champion.

As the Opps celebrated, the arena went black — and Swerve Strickland made his return, staring Joe down before wading through the Opps dojo trainees like an action-movie finale.
Finally, Hangman rose and stood beside his old enemy, and the show ended with Swerve and Hangman united against Joe’s monstrous army.

Tony Khan Struck Deal With Guns N’ Roses For AEW Full Gear Theme

AEW President Tony Khan hasn’t been shy to open his checkbook to use licensed music for AEW programming, and he’s announced that a legendary song will play to promote the AEW Full Gear pay-per-view later this month.

Khan announced on X that the “November Rain” song by Guns N’ Roses will be used ahead of Full Gear on AEW’s shows this weekend and next week’s “AEW Dynamite,” creating a fittingly epic atmosphere for the event on November 23.

“Thanks to @gunsnroses, AEW has secured a license to use November Rain in our videos promoting #AEWFullGear + this AEW November to Remember! Expect AEW November Rain by this weekend + again next Wednesday before the ppv!” said Khan.

AEW has previously licensed songs like “The Final Countdown” for Bryan Danielson, Pantera’s “Walk” for Rob Van Dam’s debut, “Seek and Destroy” by Metallica for Sting and Darby Allin, and “Wild Thing” by X for Jon Moxley.

Details On AEW Champion MJF’s Legitimate Injury At Full Gear

MJF successfully retained the AEW World Championship against Bullet Club Gold’s Jay White this past weekend at the AEW Full Gear 2023 pay-per-view. According to Bryan Alvarez of the “Wrestling Observer Radio” show, MJF suffered a dislocated hip during that main event title clash. The injury reportedly occurred when “The Salt of the Earth” performed an elbow drop from the ring to the floor. The move was supposed to be through the announce table, but the table broke when MJF placed White on top of it.

Alvarez said that MJF ended up having his hip put back into place, but he is now dealing with a “very, very painful” hip injury and a shoulder injury. However, it’s said that MJF will not miss any time.

MJF was involved in an injury angle this past weekend at Full Gear. On the Zero Hour pre-show, Austin and Colten Gunn injured MJF’s leg with a steel chair after they unsuccessfully challenged “The Salt of the Earth” and Samoa Joe, who was filling in for the injured Adam Cole, for ROH World Tag Team Championship. MJF was stretchered out of the arena and taken away in an ambulance. 

During the Full Gear pay-per-view, Tony Schiavone was set to announce White as the new AEW World Champion by default, but Cole stepped in and said he would defend the belt on MJF’s behalf. MJF ultimately returned, driving the ambulance he was placed in earlier in the evening, to defend the world title right before the main event was due to get underway.

AEW President Tony Khan confirmed that the company will unveil a new AEW roster member at the Full Gear pay-per-view on November 18. In his announcement, Khan touted this upcoming signing as “one of the world’s best wrestlers,” noting that they were also well-known and respected by the AEW fanbase.

Major Backstage Update On Tony Khan’s Free Agent Signing Scheduled For AEW Full Gear

On Wednesday, AEW President Tony Khan confirmed that the company will unveil a new AEW roster member at the Full Gear pay-per-view on November 18. In his announcement, Khan touted this upcoming signing as “one of the world’s best wrestlers,” noting that they were also well-known and respected by the AEW fanbase. While it has yet to be revealed who Khan is specifically referring to, a new report has seemingly ruled out one of the possible candidates.

According to Fightful Select, former IWGP Women’s Champion Mercedes Moné is not expected to be announced as AEW’s latest signing. Though the two sides have made plans to work together at some point, sources within AEW reportedly have indicated that Moné is not configured into the plans for this segment at Full Gear this weekend.

Following her stints with NJPW and STARDOM, Moné was invited to attend AEW All In in August with the aim of giving her a first-hand viewing experience of AEW. Tony Khan later pointed out that Moné was still in the process of recovering from an ankle injury she sustained in May, meaning any potential in-ring work for AEW would be halted until she was cleared to wrestle again. 

Moné may not be penciled in for the free agent signing at Full Gear, but numerous other possibilities still appear to be on the table.

Backstage Notes On The Elite’s Return, Usage Of New Theme Song, Kansas Reacts To The Elite Using Their Song 

As noted, The Elite (the Young Bucks and Kenny Omega) made their in-ring return Saturday night at AEW Full Gear, losing a match to Death Triangle for the AEW Trios Championships. The Elite came out to Kansas’ “Carry On Wayward Son” for their entrance theme. A report by Dave Meltzer from F4WOnline.com has more details on The Elite’s return, and the use of their new theme song.

According to the report, the plan is for The Elite to use “Carry On Wayward Son” as their entrance music specifically for trios matches. They won’t be using the song for regular tag team or singles matches. The Young Bucks have reportedly been looking to use the song for a long time, since the Bucks and their dad are big fans of the song. Previously, the Bucks used the song as entrance music when taking part in backyard wrestling as teenagers.

The use of the song reportedly did not have anything to do with the recent situation between The Elite and CM Punk. As many fans know, The Elite were suspended following the backstage incident that took place at All Out in September. The suspension for The Elite was lifted after the conclusion of an investigation into the incident. While The Elite were said to be aware that people think the two ideas are related, that’s said to not be the case, and they’ve wanted to use the song for a while.

Additionally, even though Saturday night’s match was contested for the Trios titles, that won’t be the case for all of the subsequent matches in their best-of-seven series with Death Triangle. The Elite can only win the titles outright if they win four matches in the best-of-seven series.

The band Kansas took to Twitter following AEW Full Gear to comment on The Elite using their “Carry On Wayward Son” song for their entrance at AEW Full Gear. You can check out their reaction below:
