All Elite Wrestling is set to hold its upcoming pay-per-view event, AEW Full Gear 2025, on Saturday, November 22nd in Newark, New Jersey. This major event will showcase a wide array of matches on both the Tailgate Brawl pre-show and the main card, with significant outcomes ranging from crowning new champions to resolving ongoing rivalries, which will have a considerable impact on the promotion’s future.
One of the headline matches features Brodid defending the AEW World Tag Team Championship against FTR. On October 29th at AEW Dynamite’s Fright Night Special, FTR secured their spot as the number one contenders by defeating Jet Speed, Jurassic Express, and The Young Bucks. This victory earned Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler the right to challenge Brodid at Full Gear. The two teams previously faced off on August 20th in the finals of the AEW World Tag Team Title Number One Contenders Tournament, which ended in a draw after 30 minutes with neither side gaining the upper hand. However, Bandido and Brody King later won the titles at Forbidden Door 2025 by pinning FTR in a three-way match including The Hart Syndicate.
In recent weeks, FTR and their manager Stokely Hathaway have antagonized Brodid and his supporters by disrespecting Brodid’s family and wrestling legend Ricky “The Dragon” Steamboat. Motivated by a desire to honor his former champion, Brodid aims to defend his title successfully. Meanwhile, FTR, enjoying the best run of their careers in 2025, looks poised to dethrone Bandido and Brody and capture their third AEW World Tag Team Championship.

For fans, the outcome could reshape the tag team division and set the tone for future storylines heading into 2026, making Full Gear 2025 a must-watch event.
