AEW Full Gear 2026: Ospreay retains in Phoenix as Dragunov, Wrathlander and Swerve’s team win titles; MJF returns

Will Ospreay defeated Kyle Fletcher to retain the AEW World Championship at AEW Full Gear on November 14, 2026, at the Mortgage Matchup Center in Phoenix, Arizona. The pay-per-view concluded with the return of MJF, who attacked Ospreay after the main event, and three championships changing hands across the card.

All Elite Wrestling presented the eighth annual Full Gear pay-per-view with a lineup heavy on title matches and two stipulation bouts. The card included Mercedes Mone versus Marina Shafir for the Women’s World Championship; The Young Bucks defending the World Tag Team Championships against Mark Davis and Jake Doyle of the Don Callis Family; Kazuchika Okada versus Adam Copeland for the International Championship; and Tommaso Ciampa against Ilja Dragunov for the National Championship. The Brawling Birds faced Wrathlander for the AEW Women’s World Tag Team Championships, while a Texas Death Match and an Anarchy in the Arena bout completed the televised portion of the show.

MJF made his first appearance since All In when he returned to the Full Gear arena and attacked Will Ospreay following the main event. The assault came immediately after the World Championship contest between Ospreay and Kyle Fletcher, drawing a postmatch confrontation that closed the pay-per-view.

Three titles changed hands on the night. Ilja Dragunov defeated Tommaso Ciampa to capture the National Championship; Wrathlander emerged as the new AEW Women’s World Tag Team Champions by defeating The Brawling Birds; and Swerve Strickland alongside The New Level defeated Hangman Adam Page and Brodido to win the World Trios Championship in the Texas Death Match.

Mercedes Mone successfully retained the Women’s World Championship against Marina Shafir, as announced on the card. The Young Bucks were booked to defend the World Tag Team Championships against Mark Davis and Jake Doyle of the Don Callis Family, and Kazuchika Okada defended the International Championship against Adam Copeland earlier on the card.

The event also featured an Anarchy in the Arena match pitting The Death Riders and The Conglomeration against The Cut, and the Texas Death Match for the World Trios titles mentioned above. Promoters and bookmakers had listed several defending champions as favourites heading into Full Gear, with Will Ospreay, Mercedes Mone, The Young Bucks, Kazuchika Okada and The Brawling Birds among the heavy odds-on picks and Hangman Adam Page with Brodido slightly favoured in their trios contest.

Will Ospreay’s victory in Phoenix leaves him as the reigning AEW World Champion following Full Gear 2026; the event’s title changes saw Ilja Dragunov, Wrathlander and the Swerve Strickland–The New Level trio crowned as new champions.
