The Cut emerged victorious over The Death Riders and The Conglomeration in a wild Anarchy In The Arena match at AEW Full Gear 2026. The multi-man stipulation featured arena-wide brawling, surprise appearances—including Claudio Castagnoli returning to action after a lengthy injury—and extreme weapons before Jay White pinned Jon Moxley to secure the win.
Crowd Brawling And Unexpected Moments Open Anarchy In The Arena
Immediately after the opening bell, Orange Cassidy, Roderick Strong, Kyle O’Reilly, Claudio Castagnoli, Jon Moxley, Daniel Garcia, and Gabe Kidd spilled out into the crowd to brawl with The Cut. David Finlay traded strikes with Moxley up the arena stairs while Cassidy battered one of The Gunns against a ringside barricade as Jay White returned to the ringside area.
As DMX played over the arena speakers, Daniel Garcia and Gabe Kidd danced between taking down opponents. The chaos quickly escalated with unusual props and surprise cameos:
- Utensils And Submissions: Moxley raked a fork across Finlay’s midsection, while Ace Austin accidentally pulled a spoon from Cassidy’s backpack before Moxley dropped him with a fork strike and applied a Figure Four Leg Lock to White.
- Phoenix Suns Mascot Appearance: The NBA’s Phoenix Suns gorilla mascot appeared at ringside, spraying both Austin Gunn and Colten Gunn with a fire extinguisher and firing shirts into the crowd with a t-shirt cannon before Austin leveled the mascot and performed back squats with the mascot across his shoulders.
Broken Glass And Outside Interference Escalate The Brawl
Broken glass was dumped onto the ring canvas as Moxley used a metal object between Colten Gunn’s fingers before dragging Finlay across the glass shards and locking White in a submission hold. Members of The Cut swarmed the ring to break the hold, while Gabe Kidd briefly feigned joining the opposition by putting on a Cut t-shirt before hurling a steel chair at Finlay to reaffirm his loyalty to The Death Riders.
Several outside interferences shifted the momentum across the arena:
- Run-Ins At Ringside: Marina Shafir leaped onto White’s back during a staredown with her husband Roderick Strong before Austin collided Strong into her. Wheeler Yuta entered the fray with a Busaiku Knee on Austin, followed by Shane Taylor, Captain Shawn Dean, Carlie Bravo, and Lee Moriarty joining the brawl against The Death Riders and The Conglomeration.
- Mercedes Mone And KeMonito: Mercedes Mone delivered a low blow to Moxley before the arena lights went out. CMLL veteran KeMonito appeared in the ring to throw Mone over the top rope, followed by Willow Nightingale charging down to level Mone with a shoulder block while KeMonito hit a low blow and a 619 on Taylor.
Claudio Castagnoli’s Injury Return And Flaming Table Finish
Marking his return to action following a long injury layoff, Claudio Castagnoli made a dramatic entrance by driving a vehicle into the arena. He immediately fended off The Cut to execute a double Giant Swing and swing Austin Gunn onto a garbage can. Despite taking two steel chair shots to the back from Jay White, Castagnoli remained on his feet and set up a corner strike train involving KeMonito, The Death Riders, and The Conglomeration, before powerbombing Taylor off the ropes through a table.
In the closing stages, Roderick Strong suplexed Ace Austin off the ring apron through a table while Gabe Kidd and Clark Connors battled up the entrance ramp. Connors doused a table in gasoline, set it on fire, and drove Kidd through the flaming table with a powerbomb. Back inside the ring, Jay White caught Jon Moxley with a Blade Runner directly onto the pile of broken glass, securing the three-count to give The Cut the victory.
