At AEW Dynamite's Halloween-themed "Fright Night," Samoa Joe won a chaotic four-way match to earn a world title rematch against Hangman Page at Full Gear. Joe overcame Bobby Lashley, Ricochet, and Hook, using a Coquina Clutch to force Hook’s tapout after a series of high-risk moves and chair shots. The victory set up a major showdown, but the night ended with a surprise twist: reigning champion Page, disguised as commentator Tony Schiavone in a Phantom of the Opera mask, ambushed Joe, revealing a theatrical, playful angle that heightened their rivalry. Other matches included a tornado tag win for Orange Cassidy and Darby Allin, and FTR securing a world title shot by defeating the Young Bucks and two other teams.
