Maxwell said he respects that Jon Moxley because he was not born to be a champion, he wasn’t born with an athletic bone in his body. MJF complimented Moxley for putting in the work to become the best wrestler on the planet. MJF said he’s the guy who can do movies, TV shows, commercials, and talk shows, and wave the flag of AEW and professional wrestling.
Friedman said he is sick of waiting his turn and brought up Cody’s neck tattoo taking away the spotlight. Max claimed that Chris Jericho stole the spotlight from him for a full calendar year and that his big return was overshadowed by a press conference. Friedman closed the promo by saying “come Full Gear, the devil gets his due.”

The camera shot was very obvious that this was going to happen, but AEW still somehow managed to cut away right when Joe attacked him.
Saraya will Battle Britt Baker at AEW Full Gear
Saraya announced that she is 100% cleared to wrestle and the crowd erupted. Baker said she built AEW from the ground up that “superstars” like Saraya wanted to move into. Britt stated that she is proud of that but that pride turns into resentment when Saraya claims it is “her house”.

Saraya shouted that Britt doesn’t even know what it takes a star, let alone a superstar. She added that Baker has only been in front of the camera for three years while she has done it for 17.

Jeff Jarrett joined the group on the entrance ramp and grabbed a microphone. Jarrett hyped Jay Lethal for having wins over Sting and becoming a grand slam in ROH. Jeff added that Sonjay has an IQ of 180. Jeff demanded that the camera man do a slow pan on Satnam Singh and took a shot at Braun Strowman by saying Singh is a real monster, not only that wears red skinny jeans. A member of AEW production tried to count Jeff down and he threatened to hit him with his guitar to end the segment.
