Background
editFull Gear is a professional wrestling pay-per-view (PPV) event held annually in November by All Elite Wrestling (AEW) since 2019, generally around the week of Veterans Day. It is one of AEW's "Big Four" PPVs, which includes Double or Nothing, All Out, and Revolution, their four biggest domestic events produced quarterly. Out of the four, Full Gear is AEW's only pay-per-view to be traditionally held on a Saturday.[1] On April 11, 2024, AEW announced that the sixth Full Gear event would take place on November 23, 2024, at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey, marking the second Full Gear held at the venue, after 2022.[2][3]
Storylines
editFull Gear will feature professional wrestling matches that are the result of pre-existing feuds and storylines, with results being predetermined by AEW's writers. Storylines are produced on AEW's weekly television programs, Dynamite, Collision, and Rampage.[4]
On the October 24 episode of Dynamite, Adam Cole was about to tell another story, but was interrupted by Roderick Strong, Matt Taven, and Mike Bennett. Strong said when Cole came to them with the idea to take out MJF, they immediately said yes because they are real friends. He said they needed to finish the job on MJF. Cole once again challenged MJF to come out, but was greeted by another video package. MJF, getting a message, reiterated that he would not be facing Cole, but did lay out terms for a potential match. He said he will face Cole or Strong, all they have to do is win three matches. Whoever wins three matches first would get to face him at AEW Full Gear. Cole and Strong were fine with this stipulation.[5]
