An AEW wrestler has been challenged by TikTok stars for a match at the Full Gear pay-per-view.

The Costo Guys are a father-son duo named AJ Befumo and his 11-year-old son Eric (Big Justice), who have become famous due to their viral TikTok food reviews of Costco products. The duo has a following of about 2 million followers on TikTok and over 60 million likes on their videos.

AJ Befumo is a former pro wrestler who used the name “The American Powerhouse” Eric Justice. Befumo retired as a wrestler in 2005 and went on to become a regional manager of a mortgage-lending company.

At the AEW All Out PPV from Chicago, AJ Befumo agreed to have one match with the company as well.

Who Could The Costco Guys Be Facing In AEW?

QT Marshall is a former AEW-ROH wrestler who has a prominent role behind the scenes as a Producer with All Elite Wrestling.

Following the news that AJ Befumo agreed to an AEW match, QT Marshall issued a challenge for a match.

In the video posted by the Coastal Championship Wrestling social media page, AJ Befumo told QT Marshall to get Tony Khan to book them in a match at AEW Full Gear in Newark and AJ said he’s going to “bring the boom.”

It is not yet known officially if AEW will book the Marshall/Befumo match for Full Gear, but it does appear likely at this point. Since AEW PPVs also have a pre-show, it’s possible that the match could be just for the pre-show rather than the main PPV broadcast.
