Tonight is the go-home show for Full Gear. A loaded card for a three-hour show (AEW Dynamite/Collision) airs from the Agganis Arena in Boston, MA.
With major implications up and down the card, arguably the biggest moment tonight will be when this question gets answered: Will Mercedes Mone’s title collection surpass the numbers of Don Callis’ army? Both totals currently sit at 13.
Speaking of the Don Callis Family, AEW Unified Champion “The Rainmaker” Kazuchika Okada battles CMLL World Trios Champion Mascara Dorada with future title implications.
Elsewhere on the card, Bobby Lashley and Ricochet battle to determine the #1 entrant in Saturday’s Casino Gauntlet for the AEW National Championship. Shelton Benjamin and “Speedball” Mike Bailey will square off for the #2 position.
“BOSSSSSTONNNNN! Say hello… to your CEO!”
1. Bobby Lashley vs. Ricochet for the #1 spot in the Casino Gauntlet at Full Gear
Ricochet grabs a mic as the bell rings. The crowd is not into it. He starts off by shouting out the Philadelphia Eagles. Go Birds!
He next corrects MVP, who mistakenly called the title the “International Championship”. Fine, but the match is underway… Lashley seems to have a lot of patience for Ricochet’s mouth. He finally snaps. He tosses Ricochet and wipes out Bishop Kaun and Toa Liona.
THANK YOU BOBBY (clap x5)
