Championship Highlights and Detailed Match Analysis
The narrative of Full Gear was defined by the intensity of its title matches, with two major championships changing hands and the main event pushing both competitors to their absolute physical limits.
AEW World Championship: Hangman Page vs. Swerve Strickland (Texas Death Match)
The rivalry between Hangman Adam Page and Swerve Strickland reached its violent climax in a Texas Death Match, where victory could only be secured by incapacitating an opponent for a ten-count. This match was a brutal spectacle, utilizing chairs, tables, and chains, demonstrating the deep-seated hatred between the two top contenders.
Page, defending the title, showed incredible resilience, surviving multiple near-falls and a devastating blow through the announce table. The decisive moment came when Page utilized a barbed-wire wrapped chair, delivering a final, brutal blow that left Strickland unable to answer the ten-count. The victory solidifies Page’s reign, but the cost was immense, leaving questions about his immediate future and the lingering threat of Strickland.
AEW Women’s World Championship: Jamie Hayter Dethrones Toni Storm
In a highly anticipated contest, Jamie Hayter defeated the reigning champion Toni Storm to capture the AEW Women’s World Championship. This result marks a significant shift in the women’s division hierarchy, ending Storm’s dominant, yet increasingly controversial, run.
The match was a hard-hitting affair, characterized by Hayter’s power and Storm’s technical prowess. Hayter ultimately capitalized on a momentary distraction, delivering the Hayterade lariat for the pinfall victory. This win positions Hayter as the new centerpiece of the women’s division, promising a more aggressive, fighting champion moving forward.
TNT Championship: Will Ospreay Captures Gold
Will Ospreay secured his first major singles championship in AEW by defeating Roderick Strong for the TNT Championship. Ospreay’s victory was expected by many, given his momentum throughout 2025, but Strong provided a stiff challenge, focusing on Ospreay’s neck and back.
Ospreay’s aerial offense and speed proved too much in the end, culminating in the Stormbreaker for the decisive pin. The TNT Championship, often referred to as the workhorse title, now rests with one of the most dynamic performers in the world, signaling a likely increase in high-profile defenses on weekly programming.
Grudge Matches and Storyline Progression
Beyond the titles, Full Gear advanced several key rivalries, setting the stage for the Worlds End pay-per-view in December.
Moxley vs. Danielson: A Bloody Conclusion
The highly personal “I Quit” match between Jon Moxley and Bryan Danielson delivered the violence promised. This was less a wrestling match and more a fight for survival, utilizing chains, kendo sticks, and the unforgiving steel steps.
In a shocking and brutal finish, Moxley utilized a modified sleeper hold with a steel chain, forcing Danielson to verbally submit to the referee. This victory officially ends the rivalry for now, but the sheer brutality of the match ensures both men will carry the physical and psychological scars into the next phase of their careers.
Tag Team Turmoil: The Young Bucks Retain
The long-running, critically acclaimed rivalry between The Young Bucks (Matt and Nick Jackson) and FTR (Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler) continued its storied history. The Bucks retained the AEW World Tag Team Championships in a match that showcased incredible chemistry and near-falls.
The finish, however, was not without controversy. After a series of rapid-fire reversals, The Young Bucks secured the pinfall using a subtle, arguably illegal, maneuver that the referee missed. This outcome strongly suggests that the rivalry is far from over, and a rematch, perhaps with a special guest referee or a stipulation, is imminent.
Key Takeaways: What Full Gear Means for AEW’s Future
Full Gear 2025 served as a pivotal turning point, solidifying some reigns while introducing new champions who will define the landscape heading into 2026. The key takeaways for fans and analysts are:
- Hangman Page’s Endurance: His victory over Strickland establishes him as a resilient, long-term champion capable of surviving the most violent stipulations. The World Title picture remains focused on him, but new challengers will emerge quickly.
- Shift in the Women’s Division: The crowning of Jamie Hayter signals a move toward a more physical, hard-hitting style at the top of the women’s card, potentially leading to fresh matchups against established stars and rising talent.
- Ospreay’s Ascent: Capturing the TNT Championship confirms Will Ospreay’s status as a main-event level talent in AEW. His reign promises exciting matches and elevates the prestige of the secondary title.
- The Moxley/Danielson Aftermath: The conclusion of the “I Quit” match leaves both men temporarily out of the World Title picture, but their involvement in the upcoming Continental Classic tournament could be a defining factor.
Conclusion: Setting the Stage for Worlds End
AEW Full Gear 2025 delivered a high-impact show that satisfied the demand for definitive conclusions to long-running feuds while simultaneously launching new championship stories. The event successfully transitioned the company into the final major push of the year, with the newly crowned champions—Hayter and Ospreay—and the validated World Champion, Page, carrying the momentum toward the Worlds End pay-per-view in December.
The results confirm AEW’s commitment to delivering unpredictable, high-quality wrestling action, ensuring that the road to the new year will be filled with must-watch television.
