All Elite Wrestling fans, get ready to witness TikTok’s viral superstars enter the wrestling world in a matchup 20 years in the making. A.J. Befumo, known to millions as one half of “The Costco Guys,” will step back into the ring this Saturday at AEW Full Gear: Zero Hour, bringing his son and tag team partner, Big Justice, along for the ride.
The showdown between A.J. and AEW’s QT Marshall promises fireworks as the pair reignites a rivalry that dates back to their days on the New Jersey independent wrestling scene. A.J., then known as Eric Justice, was a mainstay of the local circuit, but this Saturday’s matchup marks his debut on a major wrestling stage.
The story began weeks ago when A.J. signed a one-match contract with AEW and challenged Marshall to face him in front of a hometown crowd at the Prudential Center in Newark, NJ. Marshall, never one to back down from a fight, accepted the challenge. Their rivalry reached a boiling point when A.J. delivered his signature powerBOOM! to Marshall in a heated AEW segment, sending shockwaves through the wrestling community.
From Costco to the Squared Circle
Before he became a household name, A.J. made his mark as a wrestler, but his journey took a unique turn when he and Big Justice turned their passion for family and humor into TikTok gold. With their larger-than-life personalities, original music, and charismatic reviews of Costco products, they’ve amassed over 2.3 million followers on the platform, winning fans from all walks of life.
Their celebrity has only grown since AEW announced A.J.’s match with Marshall. The Costco Guys have appeared on major media outlets, including a viral stint on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, where Big Justice humorously “challenged” Fallon to a mini powerBOOM. Their electric energy and family-first mantra have made them beloved stars, transcending platforms and generations.
An Epic Reunion
The return to the ring is not just about personal redemption for A.J.; it’s a family affair. Big Justice, his 16-year-old son, has played a pivotal role in hyping up the rivalry on social media, showcasing their training sessions and issuing fiery promos against Marshall. For A.J., the match represents a full-circle moment—returning to the wrestling roots that defined his early career while sharing the spotlight with his son.
Fans first saw hints of A.J.’s wrestling comeback when he attended AEW All Out in September, where he shot TikToks with AEW stars like MxM Collection, Colt Cabana, and The Iron Savages. The Costco Guys’ infectious energy caught the attention of AEW President Tony Khan, setting the stage for this one-of-a-kind match.
The Main Event of Zero Hour
A.J. vs. QT Marshall headlines AEW Full Gear: Zero Hour, a free pre-show event streaming live on AEW’s YouTube, X (formerly Twitter), and Facebook platforms. It’s the perfect appetizer for a stacked Full Gear pay-per-view card featuring AEW’s top talent.
Will A.J. and Big Justice bring the BOOM! and send QT Marshall packing? Or will Marshall’s experience prove too much for the Costco Guy turned viral sensation?
