The last AEW event to be held in Arizona was Double or Nothing in 2025, which was voted as the best wrestling event of the year in The Takedown On SI's annual awards.

Tony Khan touts SI award in hype for Full Gear in Arizona this year

In an interview with Arizona Central about the Full Gear announcement. Tony Khan praised Phoenix as a sports town and gushed about Double or Nothing last year.

"It was voted the best wrestling show of the year, 2025," Tony Khan said of Double or Nothing in Glendale. "Double or Nothing 2025 was voted the best wrestling show of the year worldwide by Sports Illustrated, and a number of the top publications picked Double or Nothing in Arizona as the best wrestling event of the year last year. We're having an even bigger and better year in 2026. So it's perfect that we're coming back.

"Phoenix is a fantastic sports town. For the big matchups, it's a town that creates that big-fight feel. And Full Gear is one of those events. There will be a lot of excitement around this show."

The main event of the first-ever Full Gear PPV event was Chris Jericho vs. Cody Rhodes for the AEW Men's World Championship. Rhodes infamously lost this match and was then unable to challenge for the world title throughout the rest of his run with the company.

The actual last match of the night was an Unsanctioned Lights Out match between Kenny Omega and Jon Moxley. Because of the Lights Out nature of the bout, it's not technically considered the show's main event. In the match, Moxley defeated Omega.

Last year at Full Gear, Samoa Joe defeated Adam Page inside a steel cage to win the AEW Men's World Championship.
