The Scholars talk about John Cena becoming a Grand Slam Champion, and Preview AEW Full Gear 2025
The Scholars start by talking about the European Championship and Andrew attending tonight’s Full Gear PPV.
Then, they check in on John Cena’s Retirement Tour. They talk through the remaining wrestlers in the Last Time is Now tournament, speculate about who will replace Sheamus, and take a live look at how expensive tickets are for Cena’s last match (10:40)
Then, the Scholars pivot to our mini-word of the day; Grand Slam Champions. They talk about the different title paths needed to be a Grand Slam champ, the way this accolade is used by WWE in the periphery, what wrestling can take from EGOTs or Golf Grand Slams, and determine what the criteria should be for an AEW Grand Slam (26:21).
Finally, it’s time for the Full Gear 2025 Preview. They talk about the trend of assigning cash prizes to matches in AEW, whether Moxley/O’Reilly or Brodido/FTR will steal the show, if Mercedes Mone will win the big one, whether Hangman is going to do a moonsault off the cage, and if Briscoe joining the Don Callis Family would be giant buyer’s remorse. (47:15).
