10 HUGE AEW Full Gear 2020 Predictions You Need To Know

8. Elite Deletion: Matt Hardy vs. Sammy Guevara

All Out's Tooth and Nail match was AEW's first foray into cinematic wrestling since the Stadium Stampede. Put together to allow Britt Baker to compete while healing from a serious knee injury, it opened the pay-per-view and was widely panned by fans and critics alike, despite Baker's excellent character arc.

Memories of that match justify concerns on how the Elite Deletion is going to go, though Matt Hardy's experience in this realm should help assuage them. This is the veteran's first Deletion since March 2018, when WWE Raw visited the Hardy Compound, and everything we've heard from Matt in the build-up suggests we're getting something comparable to the weird, out-there brawls of the past.

The environment forecasts Hardy's victory. There's no doubt that AEW will be conscious of the Tooth and Nail match's reception as the Elite Deletion is put together, so fingers crossed the snakebit Hardy vs. Guevara feud ends in satisfactory fashion.

Winner: Matt Hardy
