AEW Full Gear is scheduled to happen this weekend and the excitement is truly palpable at this point in time if you consider that the lineup of matches is absolutely stacked. At the same time, while the company could always rely on the strength of its performers to put on the best show, AEW Full Gear does need a few surprises too.
Tony Khan has been a lifelong pro wrestling fan and he knows better than anyone else that you need a certain amount of dramatic twists and turns to make a show memorable. So, while AEW Full Gear can certainly be a wrestling-heavy show, one or more of these surprises could also take place.

#5 The Dark Order jumps Cody Rhodes and Darby Allin at AEW Full Gear, Sting makes the rescue
There is a lot of speculation at the moment regarding Sting possibly coming to AEW, with his merchandise being pulled from the WWE shop and the company teasing a massive appearance at AEW Full Gear. People have gone on to speculate that he could come on board as the manager for Darby Allin. This is not outside the realm of possibility because Allin has a unique look, and to be fair, it does remind quite a lot of people about Sting.
Cody Rhodes has been at odds with The Dark Order in recent weeks and one assumes that Darby Allin could also be in their crosshairs, especially if you consider that these two men are going to clash at AEW Full Gear. Sting could clear the entire ring out with a baseball bat, just like he did in WCW and in TNA.
#4 MJF defeats Chris Jericho at AEW Full Gear, but The Inner Circle beats him up and refuses to let him join the team
Chris Jericho vs. MJF has been a very unique feud thus far, leading up to a match at AEW Full Gear, where two of the company's top heels have tapped into their comedic sides to tell an entertaining story. However, despite all the hilarity, before their match at AEW Full Gear, Ortiz and Sammy Guevara let it be known that they did not want MJF in The Inner Circle.
Honestly, even Chris Jericho could be stringing MJF along and so when the latter is victorious at AEW Full Gear, Chris Jericho could let it be known that he has no intention at all at allowing MJF into The Inner Circle, as a member, and the rest of the faction could then beat him up. This could be a way to make MJF a babyface after AEW Full Gear, as he tries to take down Chris Jericho and his cronies in coming weeks.
#3 Wardlow costs MJF his big match at AEW Full Gear, turning babyface while doing so
There have various instances in the past, including the lead-up to AEW Full Gear, where it has seemed like Wardlow and MJF aren't on the best of terms, so could they finally implode during the show?
MJF, as has been mentioned before, will be in a match against Chris Jericho to determine whether or not he will join The Inner Circle at AEW Full Gear and to be honest, since both men are devious heels, each could rely on bending the rules a fair bit to pick up a victory.
Could Wardlow be the reason why MJF loses to Chris Jericho at AEW Full Gear?
So, while MJF is on the verge of picking up a big win, Wardlow could cost MJF the match and tear up the contract that's binding him to MJF to let the man know that he isn't a man who can be contained by legal documents.

#2 Cody Rhodes is confronted by Miro at AEW Full Gear, shortly after he defeats Darby Allin to remain the AEW TNT Champion
Cody Rhodes is set to take on Darby Allin with the AEW TNT Championship on the line at AEW Full Gear in what is likely to be one of the most exciting matches of the night. Many have been critical of how Miro has been used in AEW since his debut and they believe that he should have been portrayed as the beast that he is, from the very start. And this is why, once Cody Rhodes likely picks up a big win at AEW Full Gear, Miro could show up as his next TNT Championship challenger.
Cody Rhodes vs. Miro seems like a strong feud and could really elevate the prestige of the AEW TNT Championship.
Both men are a lot more old-school when it comes to wrestling style, and for them to come face-to-face after AEW Full Gear would get a lot of people talking. Is this a match you would like to see?
#1 Mike Tyson returns at AEW Full Gear to knock Chris Jericho out for good
Chris Jericho was asked why his match with Mike Tyson did not happen, and he did allude to the fact that another confrontation could happen at AEW Full Gear:
I'm not going anywhere. And we have another PPV in November and we'll see what happens. I'm ready to kick his a** at any point of time. I'm not scared of him. I'll tell you that right now.
Here is a readymade storyline between one of the greatest of all time in the world of boxing and one of the greatest from the world of pro wrestling ever. For Mike Tyson to show up at AEW Full Gear, presumably after Chris Jericho knocks MJF out would be a topic of conversation that would attract a lot of media buzz.
