AEW Full Gear reportedly taking place in Los Angeles

AEW’s traditional final pay-per-view of the calendar year is reportedly heading out west.

According to a report in Fightful, AEW Full Gear will take place for the first time ever in Los Angeles, California, on Saturday, November 18th at the Kia Forum — a venue they have previously ran.

While the report also states that the previous Wednesday’s Dynamite is tabbed for Ontario, California, it’s unclear how that Saturday’s edition of Collision will be handled. This will be the first time since Collision kicked off that AEW will be dealing with that time conflict.

This will be the fifth-ever Full Gear — an event that, unlike Double or Nothing or All Out, doesn’t have a traditional fixed home location.

The debut in 2019 emanated from Baltimore, Maryland; followed by 2020 in Jacksonville, Florida; 2021 in Minneapolis, Minnesota; and last year’s in Newark, New Jersey.

Last year’s location and date was announced during All Out, confirmed a report from earlier in that week.
