WWE legend to make in-ring return at AEW Full Gear to team with Chris Jericho and Kenny Omega - Reports
The stars of All Elite Wrestling are on the road to Full Gear, and a WWE legend has been tipped to team up with Kenny Omega and Chris Jericho on November 18th.
On the most recent edition of Dynamite, Chris Jericho had a sit-down interview with Renee Paquette where he reflected on the brutal loss he sustained at the hands of Powerhouse Hobbs.
However, Jericho claimed that the thing that was hurt the most during his match with Hobbs was his ego. But The Ocho isn't going down without a fight in his feud with the Don Callis Family as he teased the arrival of an old friend who, according to Jericho, is bigger than Powerhouse Hobbs.
During the most recent edition of Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer speculated that the person Jericho was talking about was Paul Wight, formerly known as The Big Show, who could team up with Chris and Kenny Omega at Full Gear to take on The Don Callis Family.
"I think he's talking about Paul Wight yeah, so I could see [Chris] Jericho, [Kenny] Omega and Paul Wight against [Powerhouse] Hobbs, [Konosuke] Takeshita and Sammy Guevara maybe. Or a tag match without Sammy depending--I don't know what state Sammy is in right now, but I mean I know he would be hopeful for being back by November, I mean he was hopeful of being back last week, he wasn't back this week but November is still several weeks off."

Kenny Omega will challenge for the AEW World Championship this weekend!
After nearly two years away from the main event title picture, Kenny Omega has made it his mission to not only become the best wrestler in the world but also to prevent MJF from surpassing his record as the longest reigning AEW World Champion in history.
Which is why this Saturday on Collision, Kenny Omega will challenge MJF for the AEW World Championship in a first-time blockbuster dream match.
If MJF wins, he will surpass Omega's record of 346 days as champion, making him the longest-reigning AEW World Champion in company history. Elsewhere on the show, Hikaru Shida will defend her AEW Women's Championship against the winner of a four-way match that is set to take place on Rampage this Friday. The possible opponents are Abadon, Anna Jay, Skye Blue, and Willow Nightingale.
