AEW Full Gear 2023: 10 Nightmares That Could Come True

10. AEW Adds Even More Matches

This isn't the "huge announcement" teased in the intro, but it'd definitely count as a Tony Khan blunder that'd hurt Full Gear more than help it. The card currently boasts nine matches, including the ROH Tag-Team Title bout on the 'Zero Hour' pre-show. That is more than enough.

Adding more would be counterproductive and excess for the sake of it.

Please note, nobody's suggesting that giving people better value for money is a bad thing. AEW's pay-per-views tend to deliver on that front, but fans still expect clashes picked for supershows to be more than just '...and here's this match too, because we can!'.

The four-way AEW Tag Title mash-up and the jumbled up TBS Title picture already count as matches without killer context to back them up. That doesn't mean they'll defo detract from the show and won't be fun on the night, but you don't want too many bouts that feel tacked on for no good reason.
