At the AEW Full Gear main event, Samoa Joe secured his second AEW World Championship by defeating Hangman Adam Page, aided significantly by The Ops. Following Hook’s official reunion with The Ops after handing AEW World Title gold to Hangman, it’s possible that more wrestlers might join Joe’s faction. There are five AEW stars who could potentially become part of The Ops following Samoa Joe’s championship victory.
One notable candidate is Eddie Kingston, who nearly intervened to stop The Ops from attacking Hangman during the final moments of the AEW World Title match at Full Gear, when Katsuyori Shibata tried to climb the cage. Although Kingston and Shibata clashed backstage, Kingston was absent when Hook entered the ring to assault Hangman. Despite Kingston and Hook’s success as a tag team, it remains uncertain whether Kingston will follow his younger partner into The Ops or stay a face, supporting the fight against Hangman Page and Swerve Strickland. Known for his popularity, a potential heel turn by Kingston would mark a significant shift in this storyline.
Fan Take: This development is crucial for AEW fans because it signals a major shake-up in faction dynamics and storyline directions, especially with Samoa Joe at the helm of The Ops. Kingston’s possible alignment shift could ignite fresh rivalries and add complexity to the promotion’s ongoing narratives, escalating excitement among the AEW audience.
