FAA ground stop puts obstacle in front of social media stars trying to get to AEW’s Full Gear PPV

An FAA nationwide ground stop disrupted travel across the United States on Friday, putting social media personalities “Big Boom” A.J., Big Justice and The Rizzler at risk of missing AEW’s Full Gear event in Phoenix. The disruption mattered because A.J. was scheduled to wrestle on Saturday, with Big Justice and The Rizzler expected to be in his corner.

In a TikTok video, Big Justice said the group might return home and catch a flight the next morning, while The Rizzler hoped they could still get to Phoenix. Full Gear’s pre-show was due to begin at about 7 p.m. ET, with the main event starting at 8 p.m. ET; most AEW wrestlers were already in the city and expected to appear. A.J. and Big Justice first became widely known as the Costco Guys, and A.J. returned to wrestling at AEW’s Full Gear in 2024.
