A rough draft of the Full Gear Card might have been leaked

Spoiler

There is new speculation on the card for AEW’s Full Gear pay-per-view being leaked.

A photo recently surfaced of AEW President, CEO, General Manager & Head Of Creative Tony Khan at the October 10 NFL game between the Tennessee Titans and the Jacksonville Jaguars, from a Forbes video profile. Khan is shown holding a notepad with Full Gear notes scribbled on a piece of paper. Most of the handwriting is hard to make out, but it looks as if his plans for Full Gear may have been revealed.

We noted on Wednesday how Khan appeared on the “My Mom’s Basement” podcast, and confirmed “Hangman” Adam Page vs. AEW World Champion Kenny Omega for Full Gear. For what it’s worth, Khan has Page’s name circled on the notepad, possibly indicating that there will be a title change at the pay-per-view.

The following matches were apparently listed on the paper for Full Gear:

* “Hangman” Adam Page vs. AEW World Champion Kenny Omega
* Jon Moxley vs. Bryan Danielson
* The Inner Circle vs. American Top Team
* MJF vs. Darby Allin
* CM Punk vs. Wardlow
* Thunder Rosa vs. Jade Cargill
* Adam Cole vs. Christian Cage
* The Young Bucks vs. Jurassic Express
* Cody Rhodes vs. Malakai Black or Andrade El Idolo or Miro

There is no one listed next to AEW Women’s World Champion Britt Baker. It appears FTR vs. AEW World Tag Team Champions Lucha Brothers may be another match listed, but it’s hard to say. The Cole vs. Cage is one of the new feuds being talked about on social media since the potential leak was revealed, and it’s worth noting that Cage may go into the match without the Impact World Title as he is scheduled to defend against Josh Alexander at Bound For Glory on October 23.

AEW Full Gear takes place on Saturday, November 13 at the Target Center in Minneapolis, Minnesota. It will be interesting to see if these really are the plans for Full Gear, and if this causes Khan to switch things up.

I wonder if Scorpio is who TK has slotted in to take the TNT belt from Sammy?

Posted this in last week's Rampage thread, but I'm posting this here to see if anyone can answer my question...

Just watched this before tuning into Fury/Wilder...

Am I the only person that just doesn't see it with Daniel Garcia? He's good, and he had a good match with Punk (who seems to be getting more comfortable in the ring with every match), but he still kind of screams "jobber" to me. 2.0 as well, I almost see the three of them as a platoon of George South types, for those who remember their 80s era jobbers. Now, everyone loved George South and wanted to work with him, but he was also definitely not a star. Garcia, for all of his good attributes as a wrestler, isn't someone who I can see rising above this level. Nothing about his look (goddamn does he need to gain some weight), his demeanor, work, facials, etc. really shows any star quality. Hell, his offense is even kind of jobberish, what with the complete lack of impact or intrigue to it. He's a great canvas for other wrestlers to work on (which is why people seem to love working with him but not put him over in the ring), but no more. I've seen him in matches with Lee Moriarty and wondered why Moriarty wasn't going over on a skill vs. skill and potential star power vs. potential star power level, and seen him in a match with John Silver where Silver outshone him. If someone can help me see what others see in him, I'm all ears.

Good show, but they have to do something to make Rampage seem more important. They're trying with matches, but I need to see some more important angles and the like on the show. I get the sense that the rating's going to keep slipping bit by bit without that quality.

I think Garcia has all the building blocks to be turned into a marketable wrestler.
First he'd definitely need to bulk up some. Then he'd need to maybe grow a beard or something so he doesn't look like such a youngster.
But he can go in the ring and I really don't think his offense is jobberish. He just needs to add in some more heelish stuff during his matches like he does when he cinches in his finisher.
To me he is basically a guy AEW could make into their version of Pete Dunne. He just needs some time and cultivation to get there.

Looks like CM Punk got AEW to take down their tweet about proceeds from tshirts going to Susan G. Komen.

ShopAEW posted this tweet:

But then deleted it after a good deal of pushback in the comments.

There's a rumour floating that he might have worked under a mask as Infinito too at the same taping
