AEW has updated its Full Gear 2026 logo with a touching tribute to PAC, whose appearance at the company’s launch rally helped inspire the event’s name.
The refreshed artwork features several details honouring the late wrestler. A “Black Arrow Warning” sign stands against the Arizona desert backdrop, while two black arrows have been added to one of the Full Gear cogs. His Death Riders chair and towel also appear in the design.
PAC’s connection to Full Gear stretches back to February 2019, when he confronted Hangman Page at AEW’s launch rally in Jacksonville. While most of those attending wore business attire, PAC arrived in his wrestling trunks and boots.
That appearance became a running joke on Being the Elite during his rivalry with Page and ultimately inspired the Full Gear name. The event has been part of AEW’s pay-per-view calendar since its first year.
Page defeated PAC at the inaugural Full Gear in 2019. PAC later picked up a victory over Darby Allin at the 2025 event.
The tribute comes as the wrestling community continues to mourn PAC, who unexpectedly died on September 27 at the age of 40.
Full Gear 2026 takes place at the Mortgage Matchup Center in Phoenix, Arizona, on Saturday, November 14. With the show less than a month away, attention will turn towards the event following this weekend’s WrestleDream.
