Big Boom AJ says he will be competing at AEW Revolution
Big Boom AJ of The Costco Guys revealed on Thursday that he will be returning to the AEW ring soon — as in next weekend soon.
In a quick video posted to his Instagram account, the 50-year-old born Andrew Befumo Jr. answered a X question about “when is your next AEW wrestling show?” Lifting weights, he said he would be in the ring next Sunday at AEW Revolution.
To this point, there has been no build to any match, either on AEW TV, ROH TV or the company’s social media accounts.
AJ last competed alongside QT Marshall on a late-December 2025 edition of ROH TV, defeating The Frat House. Before that, he and Marshall defeated RPG Vice on the Full Gear pre-show last November.
The viral social media star, known for he and son Big Justice’s love of double chocolate chunk cookies and chicken bakes at the big box store, first wrestled for AEW at November 2024’s Full Gear with a win over Marshall. He then returned at the following March’s Revolution, teaming with Mark Briscoe and Orange Cassidy in a win over Johnny TV & MxM Collection.
He also was part of last July’s All In: Texas, teaming with Hologram, Tomohiro Ishii and Kyle O’Reilly in a win over Rocky Romero, Hechicero, Lance Archer and Trent Beretta.
