Rumoured New Location For AEW Full Gear 2021
New update on where AEW's next PPV could emanate from.
With this year's AEW Full Gear PPV having recently undergone a date change, a location has yet to be confirmed for this upcoming November show.
As per the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Tony Khan's promotion is said to be currently looking at the Minneapolis-St. Paul market as the locale that will house Full Gear.
No specific arenas are mentioned by the Observer at this stage, although one might imagine that the Xcel Energy Center would be one venue under consideration - with that venue also due to host an episode of WWE SmackDown this December.
For those who missed it, AEW recently moved Full Gear from 6 November to 13 November. The reason for this is simply that AEW didn't want to run in direct opposition to two other huge PPV events on that same night - that being UFC 268 (Kamara Usman vs. Colby Covington 2) and a hotly-anticipated boxing card headlined by Canelo Alvarez vs. Caleb Plant.
Previously, Full Gear was due to emanate from the Chaifetz Arena in St. Louis, Missouri, but the change of date for Full Gear meant that venue was now no longer available.
