Big Boom A.J. appearance part of new additions to AEW Dynamite
Big Boom A.J. will make an appearance on this Wednesday’s Full Gear go-home edition of AEW Dynamite.
The viral social media star known for hanging out with Big Justice and The Rizzler and enjoying double chunk chocolate cookies is preparing for his return to the ring next Saturday against QT Marshall on the pay-per-view pre-show.
Wednesday will also see a bout between former AEW Women’s Champion Hikaru Shida and TBS title challenger Kris Statlander. During Saturday’s Collision, Shida said she wanted a shot at the TBS title if Statlander can defeat incumbent champion Mercedes Mone at Full Gear, leading to Statlander requesting the match for this Wednesday instead.
After lengthy absences, CMLL’s Hechicero, Atlantis Jr., and Mascara Dorada will be in action against opponents to be named. The CMLL contingent’s return was announced Saturday as well.
