Judges to decide winner if Jericho-Cody AEW title match ends in draw
A tiebreaker stipulation is set for the main event of AEW’s Full Gear pay-per-view.
AEW issued a press release today announcing that — If Chris Jericho and Cody Rhodes’ AEW World Championship match goes to its 60-minute time limit — “a panel of three esteemed judges” at ringside will vote for the winner. Who the three judges will be hasn’t been revealed.
Jericho became the inaugural AEW World Champion by defeating Hangman Page at All Out. Cody defeated Shawn Spears at that show, with the Full Gear title match being announced shortly after.
There will be a contract signing for Jericho vs. Cody at Full Gear on this Wednesday’s episode of Dynamite.
Full Gear is taking place at the Royal Farms Arena in Baltimore, Maryland on Saturday, November 9. Kenny Omega vs. Jon Moxley, The Young Bucks vs. Santana & Ortiz, and Hangman Page vs. PAC are also set for the PPV.
Santana and Ortiz are in AEW’s Inner Circle stable with Jericho, Sammy Guevara, and Jake Hager.
