AEW notes: Cody announcement, Jericho, Countdown to Full Gear
On Wednesday’s AEW Dynamite from Charlotte, NC, Cody was finally able to make his big announcement and how it relates directly to this Saturday’s AEW Full Gear.
In an emotional in-ring promo with Tony Schiavone, the challenger to AEW Champion Chris Jericho said that if he doesn’t win the title at the pay-per-view, he will never challenge for the championship again in his career.

To further build to the match, Jericho, members of The Inner Circle, and even Virgil appeared in a video done in the same style of one done on Cody several weeks ago, but in more of a mocking tone. The show ended with a big brawl featuring all of the key players for this weekend’s show.
– Jericho was announced as being an in-studio guest on TNT’s Inside The NBA Thursday night.
