Costco Guy A.J. issues challenge for match at AEW Full Gear
The much-anticipated AEW debut of A.J. from the Costco Guys appears to be taking place in a familiar spot for the viral social media star.
In a promo released by indie Coastal Championship Wrestling on Saturday, A.J. Befumo said he wants to face QT Marshall at November’s AEW Full Gear pay-per-view from Newark, New Jersey.
Befumo went after Marshall, the reigning CCW Champion, during the indie show last week which is what helped set up his challenge. He attended Seton Hall University in New Jersey and lives in Boca Raton, Florida, with the other well-known members of his family.
In late-September, Befumo, a former indie wrestler, revealed he signed a one-match deal with AEW and in early-October, he shot an angle during a Barstool Sports appearance with Marshall, a fellow New Jersey native, who turned on him and said he would be his opponent after a history that dates back years.
When confirmed, it will be Marshall’s first AEW action since a late-July dark match and first televised bout since August 2023.
Befumo became a TikTok star along with his son this year, garnering over 1.3 million followers for the song “We Bring The Boom!” The two are major fans of the Costco stores and two items in particular that includes the aforementioned double chocolate chunk cookies and chicken bakes.
