Summary
- MJF, absent since September, may return soon after filming movie.
- Swerve Strickland expected back by year-end after ACL surgery.

AEW's Full Gear event is nearing, with significant speculation surrounding potential star returns. MJF, a former AEW World Champion, has completed his filming commitments for "Violent Night 2" and is now expected to make a comeback to AEW programming, possibly appearing at Full Gear. His return follows a hiatus since September.
Another key figure, Swerve Strickland, also a former AEW World Champion, is reportedly on track for a return by year's end. He has been recovering from ACL surgery since August. His return timeline is contingent on avoiding any setbacks in his rehabilitation process.
Looking ahead to the event itself, insider reports suggest that Ricochet and Bobby Lashley are the leading contenders to be crowned the inaugural AEW National Champion. Meanwhile, the feud between Hangman Page and Samoa Joe is expected to intensify, with Page likely retaining his championship tonight but continuing the rivalry.
