AEW Full Gear 2026 in Phoenix, Arizona, ended with Kazuchika Okada, Will Ospreay and Mercedes Moné all keeping their championships, while three new champions were crowned during the pay-per-view. MJF also returned.
Okada retained the AEW International Championship against Adam Copeland. It was the first singles match ever between the two veterans, a pairing many fans had long thought would never happen.
A show built around Pac
The event doubled as an unofficial tribute to Pac. The name Full Gear came from a joke in a Being the Elite segment. Before the show, AEW revealed that the trios title belts now carry a tribute to Pac on their leather straps.
The card was stacked with title matches. Ospreay faced Kyle Fletcher for the AEW World Heavyweight Championship, and Moné met Marina Shafir for the Women's World Championship. Ciampa and Ilja Dragunov fought over the National Championship.
The Death Riders and The Cut met in Anarchy in the Arena. The Young Bucks defended the men's tag titles against Mark Davis and Jake Doyle.
Pre-show results
Jack Perry beat The Beast Mortos in the opening match. He finished it with a Muscle Buster, a move Bleacher Report's live coverage framed as a message to Samoa Joe.
Wardlow, Kevin Knight and El Clon beat three local talents in a couple of minutes. Knight scored the pin.
Boom and Doom, a team with Big Boom AJ, the Costco guy, stayed undefeated. Darius Martin and Matt Sydal got the win in that six-man match against Rocky Romero, Trent Beretta, Lance Archer and Josh Alexander.
Queen Aminata kept the TBS Championship against Persephone, Hyan and Skye Blue, in a bout that ended the Tailgate Brawl. Travel issues forced Maya World off the card, turning a planned triple threat into a four-way.
Main card opener
Okada and Copeland opened the main card. Okada played mind games early, but Copeland kept pace and sent the champion out of the ring to recover after nearly hitting a Spear.
Okada then exposed part of the concrete floor and tried a piledriver. He ultimately walked out with the title.
