AEW Full Gear 2025: Start time, matches announced and how to watch live in the UK
Will Adam Page survive the challenge of the Samoan Submission Machine inside an unrelenting steel cage this weekend?
- The final All Elite Wrestling PPV of 2025 takes place this weekend.
- AEW Full Gear is another packed show, with Adam Page set to defend his World Championship against Samoa Joe.
- Here’s how you can watch the show live in the UK this weekend, a look at some of the big storylines leading into the PPV and the current match card as of writing.
AEW Full Gear holds a special and dramatic place on the wrestling calendar, marking the company’s final major Pay-Per-View event of the year. Having launched with its very first event in November 2019—which saw a violent, landmark main event between Jon Moxley and Kenny Omega—it quickly cemented its status as one of the company's "Big Four" marquee shows.
Traditionally held around the US Thanksgiving holiday, Full Gear is the place where months of intense storyline build, faction warfare, and championship pursuits come to a definitive, climactic head, often concluding the most personal and heated rivalries before the start of the new year.
The 2025 edition, coming live from the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey, is no exception to this tradition of high stakes. This year, the entire complexion of the company could change. The card is stacked with high-profile championship defences, most notably the main event where "Hangman" Adam Page defends the AEW World Championship inside an unforgiving Steel Cage against the relentless Samoa Joe.


Furthermore, the show is set to crown the inaugural AEW National Champion in a chaotic Casino Gauntlet Match, immediately establishing a new title that will be defended across multiple promotions globally.
With the company ensuring every major story reaches its conclusion here, the excitement for this Saturday night is palpable. Every match on the card carries monumental importance, from the emotional TNT Championship battle where Mark Briscoe fights for his own independence, to the high-stakes $1,000,000 Trios Match featuring the original Founding Fathers of AEW on opposite sides.
Whether you're a long-time fan or just tuning in for the first time, Full Gear is where the most shocking moments and lasting memories of the year are made.
Below, we break down some of the major stories (angles) leading into this Saturday night - and more importantly, how you can follow all the action live from the comfort of your own home.

What are the major stories leading into AEW Full Gear 2025?
Adam Page defends the AEW World Championship in a Steel Cage against Samoa Joe
This is the highly anticipated rematch following the bitter fallout from WrestleDream, where the challenger, Samoa Joe, attacked ‘Hangman’ Adam Page instead of showing respect after Page retained the AEW World Championship.
Joe has since turned heel and used his growing faction, The Opps, to repeatedly target and ambush the champion. Page grew tired of the interference and personally challenged Joe to a Steel Cage Match.
The stipulation is crucial: it guarantees no outside interference from Joe’s stable, forcing the aggressive veteran to face the World Champion one-on-one inside the unforgiving structure. The question is whether Page, a fighting champion, can survive the ruthless onslaught of the man who has indicated his professional retirement is looming.
Kris Statlander Looks to Stop Mercedes Moné from claiming another Championship
The highly decorated Mercedes Moné—who holds a staggering collection of titles from various promotions—is seeking to capture the one championship that has eluded her: the AEW Women's World Championship.
Moné has beaten Statlander twice before in historic, long matches (to retain the TBS Championship), but this time, Statlander is the champion after defeating Toni Storm (a woman Moné has never beaten).
The story is about legacy: Can Moné become the undisputed "CEO" of wrestling by winning the main title, or will the resilient Kris Statlander finally get her ultimate measure of revenge and shut down Moné's championship dominance?
The AEW National Championship’s first holder will be determined in a Casino Gauntlet Match
This match will crown the inaugural AEW National Champion, a title explicitly designed to be defended across multiple promotions globally (AEW, NJPW, CMLL, etc.).
The unpredictable Casino Gauntlet Match is the chosen format, guaranteeing chaos and potential surprise entrants. The match starts with two participants, and more enter at timed intervals. Currently, Bobby Lashley and Shelton Benjamin—both members of The Hurt Syndicate—have earned the first two entry spots, creating a storyline where a faction could conspire to ensure one of their members wins the belt.
The winner of this match will instantly become the face of AEW's collaborative efforts across the world.
