AEW Full Gear preview, predictions: Can Hangman Page finally dethrone Kenny Omega?

The pro wrestling landscape is about to be forever changed yet again with AEW Full Gear on Nov. 13 from the Target Center in Minneapolis, MN.

AEW continues to put together Elite pay-per-view cards, and this weekend’s AEW Full Gear show is no exception. Almost every match has been being built since before the last pay-per-view, several wrestlers involved have been putting out some of the best work of their careers, and the fans are so emotionally invested that the crowd will inevitably be hot all night long.

Several years-long storylines will end at the show and AEW will be a different company coming out of the show because of that.

Almost every single match on the card is dream match material and has the potential to take the match of the night award. Plus, Tony Khan always pulls out surprises at AEW pay-per-views, leaving many speculating and anticipating more at Full Gear.

There are quite a few predictable matches throughout the night, but there are several toss-up results that likely require a bit more examination and thought to figure out.

AEW Full Gear: Predictions, preview for every match

PAC and Cody vs. Malakai Black and Andrade El Idolo

Cody’s current run in AEW is so hard to understand. On one hand, it appears that Cody is aware of the negative crowd reactions he is getting and is playing into those reactions, hinting at an internal heel turn and an interesting “Homelander” style character. On the other, there is every single interview Cody and Tony Khan have done since the crowd reaction started to turn and both of them swearing up and down that Cody is a face and demands that he stays a face.

Regardless, this match will only make crowds turn on him further. There are three crowd favorites in this match, with PAC, Malakai Black, and Andrade El Idolo. These men should all be in the world title picture, or at least close to it, but instead got stuck in this program with Cody.

The winner of this match should be Black/Idolo, but Cody matches do not often get booked like they are supposed to. PAC has recently beaten Idolo, Cody has recently beaten Black (despite being beaten clean twice previously), so the decision for them to win is not completely non-sensical, but it still only hurts two future world champions.

Prediction: Black and Idolo def. PAC and Cody

The Inner Circle vs. American Top Team and Men of the Year – Minneapolis Street Fight

This is the most WWE match AEW has ever booked, which explains the completely horrid build to the match.

Chris Jericho has been booked poorly almost all year long, but it became unbearable the moment Double or Nothing ended. Some of the trials or Jericho were fun, especially bringing in Nick Gage, but those trials were completely out of order and paid off in the worst way possible. Meanwhile, the rest of the Inner Circle is doing much better whenever they are not associated with Jericho, but they keep getting hooked in with him.

American Top Team is two veteran MMA fighters and an ancient MMA coach wrestling at AEW Full Gear, which almost never looks great. The only part of ATT that fans want to see enter the ring is Paige VanZant, and neither she nor her husband are booked for this match. However, not only are they still around, they are booked for what will inevitably be a long match at Full Gear.

This match is obviously another win for the Inner Circle that will amount to nothing, continues to hurt the momentum of Sammy Guervara and Proud and Powerful, and gives fans a chance to hit the bathroom.

Prediction: Inner Circle def. American Top Team/Men of the Year
