Background
Full Gear is a professional wrestling pay-per-view (PPV) event held annually in November by All Elite Wrestling (AEW) since 2019, generally around the week of Veterans Day. It is one of AEW's "Big Four" PPVs, which includes Double or Nothing, All Out, and Revolution, their four biggest domestic events produced quarterly. Out of the four, Full Gear is AEW's only pay-per-view to be traditionally held on a Saturday.[3] During All Out on September 4, 2022, it was announced that the fourth Full Gear event would take place on November 19, 2022, at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey, marking AEW's first PPV held in the Tri-State area.[4] It was also announced that the November 18 episode of Friday Night Rampage would air live from the same venue. Tickets for both events went on sale on September 23.[5]

After a four-month hiatus,
At All Out, Swerve In Our Glory (Keith Lee and Swerve Strickland) defeated The Acclaimed (Anthony Bowens and Max Caster) to retain the AEW World Tag Team Championship.[7] In a championship rematch at Grand Slam, The Acclaimed defeated Swerve In Our Glory to win the titles.[9] On the October 26 episode of Dynamite, Swerve In Our Glory defeated FTR (Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler) to become the #1 contenders for the championship,[10] and on that same week's episode of Rampage, the third championship match between The Acclaimed and Swerve In Our Glory was scheduled for Full Gear.[11]
On the October 28 episode of Rampage, AEW announced the return of the AEW World Championship Eliminator Tournament; an eight-man single-elimination tournament culminating at Full Gear with the winner receiving an AEW World Championship match at Winter Is Coming. That same episode, Dante Martin and Ethan Page named themselves as the first two participants in the tournament.[12] The following week, Eddie Kingston, Bandido, Rush, Lance Archer, Ricky Starks, and Brian Cage were revealed as the remaining participants in the tournament.[13] On November 17, during a media interview before Full Gear, Tony Khan confirmed that the final of the tournament would take place on the November 23 episode of Dynamite, with the semifinal match between Brian Cage and the winner of the Lance Archer vs. Ricky Starks match scheduled for the Full Gear: Zero Hour pre-show.[14]

In the final, The Elite defeated Death Triangle in a ladder match to become two-time AEW World Trios Champions.[28]
