We’re excited to celebrate the amazing journey of A.J. Befumo – the viral star behind The Costco Guys – who resparked his wrestling status this past November at All Elite Wrestling (AEW) Full Gear!
A.J. stepped into the ring with his dynamic duo and son, Big Justice, by his side to face AEW star QT Marshall in a highly anticipated match at Full Gear’s Zero Hour. The battle was years in the making, as Befumo previously wrestled on the New Jersey independent circuit under the moniker 'The American Powerchild Eric Justice' during the 1990s through 2005. The intensity reached new heights when A.J. delivered his signature powerBOOM! finishing move to Marshall, adding even more fire to an already electric rivalry.
This AEW Full Gear appearance marked a major milestone in A.J.'s career – transitioning from a beloved TikTok personality with over 2.3 million followers to a legitimate force in the wrestling world. His rise to fame began with his iconic Costco reviews, infectious original music, and viral collaborations with celebrities. His debut at AEW Full Gear was a culmination of years of hard work and dedication to both his social media and wrestling passions.
Since then, A.J. and Big Justice have continued to captivate audiences, bringing their unique blend of humor, music, and charm to global audiences. Their viral TikTok presence and appearances on major shows like The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon have helped solidify their place as true entertainment icons.
We’re incredibly proud of A.J. and his entire family for their success in both the digital space and now the world of professional wrestling. Here’s to many more wins, both in the ring and beyond!
