AEW Locks In Two Title Matches For Full Gear, Teases More

AEW has started filling out the championship picture for Full Gear, with two title matches now official and several more storylines pointing toward additional bouts before the November 14 pay-per-view.

On the October 21 episode of Dynamite, the Don Callis Family’s Davis & Doyle defeated the Young Bucks in what was billed as an AEW World Tag Team Championship Eliminator match, capitalizing on the wear and tear Matt and Nick Jackson carried over from their successful title defense against Kyle Fletcher and Kevin Knight at WrestleDream. The win earns Davis & Doyle a shot at the Young Bucks’ tag titles at Full Gear.

Also confirmed for the card: the Brawling Birds will defend the AEW Women’s World Tag Team Championship against Wrathlander, the pairing of Harley Cameron and Kris Statlander.

Beyond those two matches, the rest of the Full Gear championship slate remains unofficial, though Dynamite laid plenty of groundwork. Marina Shafir made clear she views herself as the next challenger for Mercedes Mone’s Women’s World Championship. Meanwhile, Swerve Strickland approached Adam Page, Bandido and Brody King to demand a rematch for the AEW World Trios Championship, even pitching a Texas Death Match stipulation — an offer the Hangman turned down.

That leaves a long list of titles without a confirmed Full Gear challenger: the World, International, Continental, National, TNT and TBS Championships. Much of that picture may come into focus after Blood and Guts, set for November 4, which features Will Ospreay, Adam Copeland, Steven Borden, Darby Allin and the Young Bucks going to war with the Don Callis Family’s Kazuchika Okada, Kyle Fletcher, Wardlow, Kevin Knight and Davis & Doyle.

The stakes in that cage match look especially steep given how deep the Callis Family’s championship interests already run — Fletcher stood over a fallen Ospreay while holding up the World Championship on the same night Okada flattened Copeland with the International title. That visual all but signals Ospreay vs. Fletcher and Okada vs. Copeland as matches AEW wants to build toward, with Copeland having made no secret of his desire for a World Championship opportunity.

For a company built around long-form storytelling, this is a familiar pattern: let a blood feud like Blood and Guts settle scores and establish pecking order, then let the fallout dictate the next pay-per-view’s top matches. With Samoa Joe also making it known he hasn’t forgotten Clockwork Carnage from WrestleDream, Ospreay could be fielding challenges from multiple directions as Full Gear approaches.

What’s notable is how much of the Callis Family’s business is unfinished. If the faction wants to live up to its stated goal of collecting every title in AEW, Blood and Guts isn’t the finish line — it’s the proving ground. A statement win there for Okada, Fletcher or Wardlow would give AEW a clean path into fresh title matches at Full Gear, while a loss could just as easily reshuffle the deck entirely.

Expect the rest of the Full Gear card to take shape quickly once Blood and Guts plays out on November 4, with ten days left after that to finalize the rest of the lineup before the pay-per-view itself.
