Full Gear this weekend is such a stacked show, that probably three of the matches on the card feel like they could legitimately main event the whole pay-per-view, but we now know which match is closing.
During an interview with Wrestling Observer‘s Dave Meltzer and Bryan Alvarez, Tony Khan revealed that the I Quit match between Jon Moxley and Eddie Kingston for the AEW World title will main event:
“Stadium Stampede was kind of different, the world title still went on last of the matches as the show stood. It would be hard to go back into the arena after we’ve done Stadium Stampede, it was just an “epic” and Moxley-Brodie Lee was one of our biggest title matches but even Jon didn’t want to go on after the Stadium Stampede. He (Moxley) was pretty adamant he didn’t want to go on last.
“I think, in general, the world title should go on last – there are exceptions like the Stadium Stampede or maybe in Toronto with Hogan and The Rock where it doesn’t necessarily make sense but in this case, I think Eddie (Kingston) and Jon (Moxley) going on last makes a lot of sense”
As Tony Khan has alluded to, Double or Nothing was main evented by the Stadium Stampede match as opposed to Brodie Lee vs. Jon Moxley, but it seems as if that decision was made, or at least heavily influenced by Jon Moxley.
