AEW Full Gear 2022: Start Times, How to Watch and Full Card
Jon Moxley defends his AEW Championship against MJF on Saturday.
It's been a tough few months for AEW. Unfortunate injuries and questionable writing have made the show far less exciting than it was a year ago, and it appears AEW has lost its biggest star in CM Punk. But if there's one thing the company can be counted on, it's producing great pay-per-view events. Saturday's Full Gear show hopes to turn the company's fortunes around.
The man to do that might be MJF, who is challenging Jon Moxley's AEW Championship. MJF is widely thought to be the future of the pro wrestling business -- but is Saturday his time? And if it is, will he be winning the championship as a hero or heel? The answers to these questions may determine how must-watch AEW is for the next few months.
Full Gear also features the return of Kenny Omega and The Young Bucks, who were suspended after their infamous post-All Out brawl with CM Punk. They'll challenge Death Triangle for the Trios Championship, which should be a spectacle. Chris Jericho puts his Ring of Honor Championship on the line against Bryan Danielson, Sammy Guevara and Claudio Castagnoli, which could also be fabulous. Meanwhile, WWE's Paige has her in-ring debut in AEW as Saraya, taking on Britt Baker.
The pay-per-view also features a rematch between The Acclaimed and Swerve in Our Glory. This tag team clash was the highlight of All Out, so hopefully they can recapture that magic here. It should be fun: Everybody loves The Acclaimed.
