As per Fightful, current WWE star Zelina Vega was in Minneapolis, Minnesota for last night's AEW Full Gear PPV.

Of course, the real-life Thea Trinidad is the wife of AEW's Malakai Black. It's not known whether Vega - who recently won WWE's inaugural Queen's Crown tournament - was backstage at the Target Center or if she was even in the crowd for the event.

In terms of Black, he teamed with Andrade at Full Gear in a losing effort against Cody Rhodes and PAC. With miscommunication and troubled partners firmly at play in this bout, it was Andrade who ate the pinfall after PAC hit the Black Arrow to secure the 1-2-3.

This same Fightful report also adds how Tony Khan came out to address the Target Centre crowd prior to Full Gear starting. There, Khan did his best to hype the fans up ahead of what turned out being a great PPV from top to bottom.

One additional note pertains to the Falls Count Anywhere contest of Christian Cage & Jurassic Express vs. The Superkliq. Fightful stated how the ring crew swept up the ringside area and cleaned the ring once this match concluded, with the ring being sprayed down with disinfectact.
