AEW Full Gear is moving dates as the company's final pay-per-view of the year will now be held on Saturday, November 13th instead of Saturday, November 6th.

The news was announced during All Out.

However, the location is unknown as there's an event already booked on the 13th in the Chaifetz Arena in St. Louis, Missouri.

AEW is currently still scheduled for a Rampage event on Friday, November 5th in the same building, but no announcement was made as to a date change for that event.

Since the original Full Gear date was announced, two major combat sports events were scheduled for November 6th: UFC 268 from Madison Square Garden and a Canelo Alvarez vs. Caleb Plant boxing PPV.

Full Gear 2021 will be the third in the event's chronology. The 2019 edition was held in Baltimore and headlined by a Kenny Omega vs. Jon Moxley lights out match and Chris Jericho defending the AEW World title against Cody Rhodes in the semi-main event.

Full Gear 2020 was held in Jacksonville at Daily's Place. Moxley defending the AEW title against Eddie Kingston in an I Quit match headlined while Jericho faced MJF in the semi-main event.

Gives me extra time to save money

I have to say even with moving it back a week, I like having a September PPV, a November one and presumably Revolution in January.

I know people are against 12 for AEW, but if we could do 5-6, I'd be quite happy. Smart to not compete with UFC on Tony's behalf.

 

[Hidden Blaze]

I would take a 6 month one for sure. One every other month. 5 be nice also. I don’t mind 4 however because less PPVs you have the bigger it feels. But no less than 4.

Yeah, I think bimonthly would be perfect, but I'd also settle on a 5th show with the TNT specials coming.

All I know is inject me with AEW, that’s my lifeline now haha.

In this week's Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Dave Meltzer said that the rumored location for November's AEW Full Gear is Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota.

Meltzer said AEW didn't confirm or deny the location. He also didn't specify what venue.

AEW had to move the date from November 6th to November 13th due to heavy pay-per-view competition from UFC's return to Madison Square Garden and a Canelo Alvarez title unification bout. The show was set for the Chaifetz Arena in St. Louis, Missouri, but the venue is booked for the new night.

Meltzer didn't say whether the Enterprise Center in St. Louis was an option as the 19,000-seat home of the NHL Blues is available. Rampage is also scheduled for that Friday at the Chaifetz Arena.

In either case, Meltzer notes AEW will likely have to pull Jon Moxley from his New Japan Battle of the Valley event from San Jose, California, which is also scheduled for the same night as Full Gear.

 

[Smart Marx]

Playing devil's advocate, how about we don't pull Jon from his New Japan commitment.

Agreed. Man made a commitment, let him keep it.

I already have tickets to the NJPW show in San Jose that day at the same time. This might be the first AEW PPV that I miss watching live. And to make it worse, AEW of course pulled Moxley from the show, which would have been awesome to watch him go at it in a NJPW ring. That sucks, BUT....NJPW did make it up to the fans by adding WIll Ospreay in San Jose. That will work

The location for AEW Full Gear is getting closer to finally becoming confirmed.

As was first mentioned in the Wrestling Observer Newsletter two weeks ago, Fightful reported Monday that according to internal plans within AEW, the November 13th pay-per-view is indeed set for Minneapolis, Minnesota. Dave Meltzer said as of a week ago, holding the event in the Minneapolis/St. Paul region was the working plan.

The venue is still unknown, but the Target Center is available as of now.

Fightful reported that many members of the AEW roster were set to appear at November 13th's The Big Event in New York City, but needed to be pulled. Instead, they will appear on Sunday, November 14th with AEW going "above and beyond" to make it right to event promoters.

Full Gear was originally scheduled for St. Louis, Missouri, on November 6th, but due to heavy combat sports competition from both UFC and top boxer Canelo Alvarez, AEW decided to move the date instead. The Chaifetz Arena, however, was booked on the new date.

It's unknown whether Rampage, still set for the Chaifetz Arena the Friday before Full Gear, would still be held there. Again, the Target Center is available.

Good to see aew compensate other promotions for pulling talent back , classy move

 

[Chris]

Basically confirms that the PPV will be held there too

 

[Hoss]

AEW just confirmed on IG that Full Gear will be November 13 from the Target Center in Minny.

 

[Smart Marx]

This guy just secured himself tickets to Full Gear for $325 and Rampage for $75.

AEW wasn't lying. They don't gouge you at all.
