AEW Full Gear 2022 from the Prudential Center in Newark, N.J., was a show where many of the top angles could conceivably have gone a number of different directions, most notably in the main event where MJF challenged Jon Moxley for his AEW world championship.
To fully explain how AEW got here would take far more words than I’d be allotted, but essentially, MJF in story line “walked out of AEW” following Double or Nothing in Las Vegas in May. That same night, CM Punk won the AEW title from “Hangman” Adam Page. Promoter Tony Khan has never gone public with what his original idea was, but I believed it was very likely that MJF would “return” in the summer, challenge Punk for the AEW title, and probably beat him at All Out in September.
None of that happened.
