AEW Full Gear was definitely a game changer for many on the the All Elite Wrestling roster following some huge wins and losses, and it turns out that Swerve Strickland and Keith Lee came into the pay per view event with cool in ring gear inspired by the Metal Gear Solid series! While the former Swerve in Our Glory tag team now have a lot more to think about following the event, leading in to their match against the AEW World Tag Team Champions The Acclaimed, the two were more frayed than ever. This was reflected in their gear as the two of them invoked Metal Gear Solid to showcase the change.

As fully revealed by Swerve Strickland on Twitter following AEW Full Gear, he and Lee’s gear were inspired by Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty characters Raiden and Solid Snake. It was definitely a fun swerve seeing the duo sneak in this shout out amidst quite a wild pay per view event overall, and one of the last bastions of fun that they are going to have as a duo for quite some time if the end of their match was anything to go by.
