Costcà·Žo Guy AJ (Big Boom AJ) will return to the ring at AEW Full Gear when he faces QT Marshall.
AJ wrestled on the independent scene in the late 90s and early 2000sàŒ, but stepped away from actively competing in late 2002-early 2003.
âMama Justice was convinced I wasnât stepping back in the ring, I knew I was [laughs]. I knew in my heart it wasnât over, I knew in my heart one day, wrestlingâs in my heart. I love wrestling because thereâs nowhere else you can have that connection with the crowd. Thereâs just nowhere else you could walk through that curtain and immediately feel that connection and know that youâre going out there fighting for these people and they love every minute of it. I mean, there's just nothing like pro wrestling. I always knew in my heart one day, I would be back in the ring. Didnât know where, didnât know when. Iâve been in the ring a lot lately the last few weeks preparing for this and footwork was the toughest part. Getting your footwork back together, I mean, youâre on a flat canvas with flat boots and I mean, itâs like skiing again for the first time in 20 years. My footing is good now, every day I stepped in the ring and got used to the ropes, I got a little bit better and a little bit more confident and thatâs where we stand right now as we prepare for this match," AJ told
AJ had a tag team match at CCW Rumble In The đJungle 9, teaming with Iron Savages (Boulder & Jacked Jameson) to defeat The Five Star Era (ERA & Ricky Martinez) & Elliot Qrow.
Elsewhere during the interview, AJ commented on possibly wrestling more after AEW Full Gear. You can find his full comments by clicking here.
