The inaugural Trios Champions appear to be on their way back to All Elite Wrestling at the Full Gear PPV on November 19th.

During tonight’s edition of Dynamite, AEW aired another video package featuring The Elite. Kenny Omega and Young Bucks can be seen with Cody Rhodes, Finn Balor, Kevin Owens, and other wrestlers in the video.

The video features graphics from Full Gear and that appears to be the date Kenny Omega and the Young Bucks will return.

The Elite Suspended after AEW All Out

Kenny Omega and The Young Bucks defeated Death Triangle at AEW All Out on September 4th to become the first Trios Champions in company history. Their title reign lasted a few days before they were suspended for their part in a backstage brawl following the PPV.

Jon Moxley and CM Punk had a rivalry leading into the PPV. Moxley had won the AEW World Championship from Punk on an episode of Dynamite two weeks before All Out. The legendary Ace Steel talked Punk into accepting Moxley’s Open Challenge for the AEW World Championship at the PPV. CM Punk wound up accepting the challenge and defeated Moxley to become the AEW World Champion for the 2nd time (without a single title defense).

After CM Punk won the title in front of his hometown crowd, he was confronted by MJF to set up the third match in their rivalry. However, that likely will never happen as the former AEW World Champion went on a tirade after the PPV that had very little to do with winning the title ten minutes prior. CM Punk had also torn his triceps during the match, which would likely have resulted in having to forfeit the title.

The rant led to AEW EVPs Kenny Omega and The Young Bucks confronting the champion in his locker room. According to various reports, the door either was kicked open by The Elite and hit Larry the Dog in the face, or The Elite politely knocked. The truth is likely somewhere in between.

What has been confirmed is that a brawl broke out, CM Punk reportedly threw the first punch, Ace Steel hurled a chair at Nick Jackson, bit Kenny Omega, and was fired. The Elite now appear to be on their way back while there has been no word on the status of CM Punk. Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer has stated that AEW has been negotiating with Punk for a buyout but nothing has come to fruition yet.

• 5 Best Moments of CM Punk’s AEW Career

AEW has booked a 4-Way match at Full Gear on November 19th for the ROH Championship.

Chris Jericho will put the ROH Championship on the line against Claudio Castagnoli, Bryan Danielson, and Sammy Guevara.

Danielson battled Chris Jericho for the ROH Championship on a recent episode of Dynamite. Chris Jericho picked up the victory after Daniel Garcia betrayed him and re-joined the Jericho Appreciation Society. Jericho defeated Castagnoli at Dynamite: Grand Slam to become ROH Champion.

On this week’s edition of AEW Rampage, William Regal, Claudio Castagnoli, and Bryan Danielson cut a backstage promo on Chris Jericho. They both wanted a title shot, Claudio wanted to battle Jericho because he was attacking ROH announcers. Danielson spoke about his ROH legacy and wanted one more shot against Jericho. William Regal ended the promo by telling Jericho to choose his opponent at the PPV on November 19th.

Later on Rampage, Chris Jericho said he will face them both at Full Gear along with Sammy Guevara in a 4-Way. The ROH Champion said that the Blackpool Combat Club members will wind up picking each other apart, and added that he knows Sammy will do “the right thing” in the match.

Another match announced for AEW Full Gear is the finals of the World Title Eliminator tournament. The winner of the tournament will earn a shot at the AEW World Championship. Ricky Starks announced that he will be in the tournament on this week’s episode of Rampage. Ethan Page and Eddie Kingston will battle Wednesday on Dynamite in the first round.

AEW announced another title match for Full Gear during this week’s episode of Dynamite.

Thunder Rosa was the AEW Women’s Champion heading into AEW All Out in September but announced that she was pulling out of the event due to an injury on the Dynamite before the PPV. She has not appeared on AEW television since. Toni Storm went on to win the Interim AEW Women’s Championship at All Out by defeating Jamie Hayter, Hikaru Shida, and Britt Baker in a Fatal 4-Way.

It was announced tonight that Toni Storm will put the AEW Interim Women’s Championship on the line against Jamie Hayter at Full Gear on November 19th. The PPV will air live from the Prudential Center in New Jersey.

A video package aired during the show and Toni Storm noted that she and Jamie go way back. She noted that the two actually lived together during the pandemic.

Jamie Hayter then responded that she hasn’t changed at all.

Britt Baker and Jamie Hayter are set for a tag team match on Rampage this week. Britt was supposed to sit down with Saraya and Renee Paquette for an interview but didn’t show up. Renee asked Saraya if she was cleared to wrestle but she didn’t answer. Saraya said there is one more doctor she needs to check with (Britt Baker) next week on Dynamite.

Early PPV buy estimates are trickling in for last weekend’s AEW Revolution pay-per-view from Orlando, FL.

The main event saw Hangman Adam Page successfully defend the AEW World Championship against Adam Cole. The event also had CM Punk get revenge against MJF in a highly anticipated Dog Collar Match.

According to Dave Meltzer, Revolution is estimated to have sold approximately 110,000 buys on the Bleacher Report and FITE streaming services.

Factoring in buys from traditional pay-per-view providers, Meltzer believes AEW Revolution could finish in the range of 145,000-170,000 total buys.

If AEW Revolution 2022 did on the low end of estimates, with 145,000 buys, the show would still be considered a huge success. It would be the most-purchased Revolution ever and the second-most purchased PPV in company history.

AEW Revolution Historical Buys (Estimated figures by Wrestlenomics)

• AEW Revolution 2020: 90,000 buys
• AEW Revolution 2021: 135,000 buys
• AEW Revolution 2022: 145,000-170,000 buys

All Out Remains AEW’s Biggest PPV of All Time

AEW Revolution’s early numbers are impressive. However, the company is still hoping to surpass its biggest PPV of all time, All Out. The PPV took place on Sep. 5, 2021. at the Now Arena in Hoffman Estates, Illinois. AEW heavily promoted the event with the in-ring return of CM Punk. All Out earned 205,000 buys and grossed over $10 million in revenue.

The company’s second-highest PPV is the Nov. 13, 2021 event Full Gear at the Target Center in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The big moment from the event was Page defeating AEW World Champion Kenny Omega for the title. The event earned 145,000 buys and four million in revenue.

If AEW Revolution does 146,000 buys, it will surpass Full Gear 2021 as the company’s second-biggest PPV ever. Although All Out remains AEW’s most successful PPV, their PPV numbers stay above 100,000.

AEW last PPV under 100,000 was Full Gear 2020 from Daily’s Place in Jacksonville, Florida, which did 85,000 buys.

The card for tonight’s (Saturday, November 13, 2021) AEW Full Gear event has been finalized.

The main event of this show that takes place in Minneapolis, MN at the Target Center will be AEW World Heavyweight Champion Kenny Omega vs. Hangman Adam Page

This show marks the fourth PPV of 2021, which features a stacked lineup. There are a total of 10 matches booked for this show with three of them being championship matches. As a reminder, we will be providing live play-by-play coverage of this special later tonight.
