Below are some top AEW news stories of the day.

• AEW Full Gear’s main event was intense and chaotic, featuring Jon Moxley retaining the World Title against Orange Cassidy. Following the match, several top stars were involved in various dramatic segments, shedding light on AEW’s strategic direction.

After his victory, Moxley held Cassidy as Wheeler Yuta poured cleaning solution into Cassidy’s eyes. “Hangman” Adam Page then entered the ring with a chair, struck Yuta, and faced off with Moxley. Christian Cage intervened, delivering a Killswitch to Moxley.

Cage tried to cash-in his contract for an AEW World Championship match. Jay White appeared next, attacking Cage with a Blade Runner, but was blindsided by Claudio Castagnoli, who aided Moxley in leaving alongside Marina Shafir, Yuta, and Pac.

The Death Riders attempted to escape in their pickup truck but were rammed by another vehicle. Switching cars, they were met by Darby Allin, who emerged from the wrecked vehicle and smashed their windshield with a skateboard. A group stepped in to restrain Allin as the event ended with this high-energy sequence of events.

Per PWInsider, the series of post-match angles was designed to highlight the array of challengers — including Hangman Page, Christian Cage, Darby Allin, and Jay White — vying for the AEW World Championship. By all accounts, AEW effectively conveyed this message.
