A surprising name may be stepping back into the ring at one of AEW’s biggest shows of the year, as a viral personality — Big Boom AJ — connected to the promotion has revealed plans to compete at the upcoming pay-per-view.
Ahead of AEW Revolution 2026, a social media star who has previously crossed over into the wrestling world confirmed he intends to wrestle at the event. The reveal came through a short video posted online (Instagram), sparking curiosity about what role he might play on the card.
At the moment, AEW has not officially announced a match involving him, leaving fans wondering how the appearance will unfold once the show arrives in Los Angeles.
Big Boom AJ Confirms He Will Compete at AEW Revolution 2026
Andrew Befumo Jr., better known to fans as Big Boom AJ from the viral Costco Guys videos, confirmed in a recent video that he plans to return to the ring at AEW Revolution on March 15. The event will take place at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles.
In the clip, AJ announced while answering a fan question about his next AEW match. “I’ll be back in the ring next Sunday, March 15, AEW Revolution, live from Los Angeles. Don’t miss it! Boom!” he said.
Despite the announcement, AEW has not revealed an opponent or formally advertised a match involving AJ on television or social media.
AJ is not new to AEW competition. At AEW Revolution 2025, he teamed with Orange Cassidy and Mark Briscoe to defeat Johnny TV and the MxM Collection during the Zero Hour pre-show.
He also holds a singles victory over QT Marshall from AEW Full Gear 2024, giving him an undefeated record in AEW so far — a streak that’s still standing, or as fans might say, still “booming.”
Outside the ring, AJ gained widespread popularity alongside his son Big Justice as part of the Costco Guys, whose energetic videos turned them into viral internet figures.
With Revolution approaching and AJ already teasing his return, the only missing piece is the official match announcement. Whether he appears on the main card or Zero Hour remains unknown, but his involvement adds another unexpected element to AEW’s March 15 event.
