Bobby Lashley’s AEW In-Ring Debut And More Set For AEW Full Gear

AEW has announced two exciting new matchups for the upcoming AEW Full Gear 2024 pay-per-view event.

In a highly anticipated bout, Mercedes Moné will defend her AEW TBS Championship against Kris Statlander. The match was set following Statlander’s challenge on AEW Collision, which AEW CEO Tony Khan later confirmed on social media. This contest marks a chance for Statlander to reclaim the TBS title after her loss a year ago at Full Gear, where Julia Hart defeated her in a three-way match also featuring Skye Blue. Mercedes Moné, who won the title from Willow Nightingale at AEW Double or Nothing 2024, is expected to deliver an intense defense against the determined Statlander.

In another big showdown, Swerve Strickland will face Bobby Lashley after last week’s brutal attack by The Hurt Syndicate, which left Strickland seeking retribution. Strickland issued the challenge, and MVP accepted the match on behalf of his client Lashley, setting the stage for a fierce clash.

The AEW Full Gear 2024 pay-per-view is set for Saturday, November 23 at the Prudential Center in Newark, NJ. Here’s the updated match card:

• AEW World Heavyweight Championship: Jon Moxley (c) vs. Orange Cassidy
• AEW TBS Championship: Mercedes Moné (c) vs. Kris Statlander
• Jay White vs. Hangman Page
• Swerve Strickland vs. Bobby Lashley
• MJF vs. Adam Page or Roderick Strong
• AEW Tag Team Championship: Private Party (c) vs. TBA (fatal 4-way match)
• Zero Hour: Costco Guy AJ vs. QT Marshall
