The Unlikely Heroes of AEW: “Big Boom” AJ and the Costco Crew Steal the Show
Tonight, the world of professional wrestling witnessed something truly remarkable. “Big Boom” AJ, accompanied by Big Justice and The Rizzler, made his highly anticipated return to the ring on the AEW Full Gear pre-show. What transpired was an absolute masterclass in entertainment, with AJ and his cohorts delivering a performance that was equal parts absurd and awe-inspiring.
A Self-Aware Spectacle
The program with QT Marshall was undoubtedly ridiculous, but in a cleverly crafted, tongue-in-cheek manner. AJ’s background as a former independent wrestler clearly served him well, as he demonstrated a solid grasp of the fundamentals. The result was a match that was both humorous and engaging, with the crowd in Newark fully invested from the get-go.
A New Audience, A New Energy
The presence of the Costco Guys brought a fresh wave of enthusiasm to the AEW arena, courtesy of their massive social media following. The Rizzler, in particular, received a thunderous ovation upon his introduction as the special guest timekeeper – a testament to the group’s ability to connect with audiences.
A Respectable Contest
Once the bell rang, AJ, Big Justice, and The Rizzler had the crowd firmly in their grasp. They delivered a thoroughly enjoyable contest, with QT Marshall deserving of special praise for carrying AJ through his first match in nearly two decades. Marshall’s role as the perfect, hateable heel was played to perfection, as evidenced by his impressive selling of Big Justice’s spear and superplex spot.
Flowers and Cookies All Around
In the end, it was a truly unforgettable performance, one that defied expectations and left a lasting impression. While AJ has stated that this would be his final match, Tony Khan may need to reconsider, given the overwhelming response to the Costco Guys. They may just be the catalyst for the “Bidding War of 2024” we’ve all been waiting for.
