Ricky Stars has clinched a spot in the AEW World Championship Eliminator Tournament finals.

Before the pay-per-view started, All Elite Wrestling held their AEW Full Gear: Zero Hour pre-show, and during so, Ricky Starks landed a win over Brian Cage, his former Team Taz running mate, to lock himself up a spot in the finals of the AEW World Championship Eliminator Tournament.

Near the end of the match, Cage attempted to hit Ricky Starks with an F5, however, the latter countered the move with a Canadian Destroyer. Afterwards, Starks would pull off the Roshambo, sealing the deal for the win.
