AEW stars Bobby Lashley and Swerve Strickland will collide at Full Gear 2024. The two stars will battle for the first time ever. The end game of the rivalry will see The All Mighty and Realest go against each other in what has become a heated rivalry.
The story has been developing since September when MVP made his AEW debut and approached the former AEW World Champion's manager Prince Nana. The former WWE star wanted the 34-year-old star to join his stable. After Swerve Strickland rejected the offer from MVP, he brought in his other business associate Shelton Benjamin.
Strickland defeated Benjamin in a hard-hitting contest on the Fright Night Dynamite edition. After the contest, Bobby Lashley made his debut following the bout. Further, The Hurt Syndicate ambushed him and Prince Nana and stood tall over them. Later, MVP explained their actions saying whoever rejects his offer to join The Hurt Syndicate will have to face consequences.

On the latest episode of Dynamite, the former AEW World Champion confronted the trio and demanded a match against Bobby Lashley at Full Gear, which was immediately accepted by MVP on his behalf.
New Champs in WWE! More RIGHT HERE
Since the highly anticipated match was announced, many fans have been speculating who should be the winner of the match.
Let's take a look at some of the hints that prove that Swerve Strickland will emerge victorious at Full Gear.
#3. Swerve Strickland needs to continue his rivalry with Bobby Lashley
Fans were excited to see Bobby Lashley in the squared circle. His confrontation against the former AEW World Champion has been a talking point in recent weeks. While The All Mighty is presented as the untouchable force, he must lose his first match of their feud as they should continue the story.
It could draw many eyes in the future for the Jacksonville-based promotion. A trilogy where Bobby Lashley wins 2-1 could be a perfect scenario.
#2. Swerve Strickland cannot lose his third consecutive pay-per-view match
The Realest Star had a great run during the first half of 2024. He picked up many wins to make his way to the AEW World Championship. He captured the top prize at Dynasty pay-per-view and went undefeated until August. At All In London, he lost the championship to Bryan Danielson. In the next event, Swerve lost his second bout in a row against Hangman Page in a Lights Out match.
Losing a third match back-to-back at the huge event may cause his character and credibility as the face of the franchise considerable damage. Therefore, he needs to win the match at Full Gear.
#1. A win so soon would make the AEW roster look weak
Swerve Strickland has been presented as a top guy for many months. He is the foundation that AEW has been built on since the Dynasty. He was involved in top feuds with stars like Bryan Danielson, Will Ospreay, and Hangman Page. The result of Bobby Lashley vs. Swerve Strickland should be The All Mighty losing the bout as the former WWE Champion defeating AEW's top babyface could be questionable.
Bobby Lashley shouldn't win the match, which will add more story to their next contest. The WWE Veteran winning his first match means he could go through the entire locker room one by one.
