Big Boom AJ aiming to make AEW in-ring return at Revolution
Costco Guy AJ Befumo is targeting Revolution 2025 for his AEW in-ring return.
The 48-year-old TikTok celebrity had his first match for AEW at Full Gear this past November, defeating QT Marshall in a bout that was well-received by the live crowd despite Befumo working through a broken foot. Befumo and his son Big Justice (Eric Befumo) are both All Elite — and they told Cultaholic that Befumo plans to have his next match at AEW’s Revolution pay-per-view this March.
“He’s going to wrestle in March,” Big Justice, 12, told Cultaholic.
“We’re looking at, you know — talking to the AEW team it looks like I’ll be at Revolution in March,” Befumo added. “So that’s what we’re gunning for right now. Maybe an appearance before that but that’s what we’re looking at right now.”
Revolution is taking place at Crypto.com Arena (the former Staples Center) in Los Angeles on Sunday, March 9.
Befumo is a former independent wrestler who has risen to fame on social media over the past year through the father-son channel he and Big Justice have on TikTok. They’re known as the “Costco Guys” on the platform, documenting their trips to the wholesale store and rating products from the Costco food court. Befumo uses the name Big Boom AJ in AEW.
