Chris Jericho To Defend AEW World Title Against Cody Rhodes At AEW Full Gear

Chris Jericho will face-off against Cody Rhodes at Full Gear and AEW President Tony Khan says the challenger earned the opportunity due to his win-loss record.

Sports Ilustrated broke the news for AEW, with Khan telling the publication:

“Cody’s outstanding record in singles competition has secured him the number one contender ranking, and he will be challenging AEW world champion Chris Jericho in the first ever pay-per-view defense of the championship on November 9 in Baltimore at Full Gear.”

“Cody earned this opportunity over the summer as he remained unbeaten in singles bouts, scoring pins on a pair of proven veterans, defeating his older brother, the legendary wrestler Dustin Rhodes at Double or Nothing, and beating bitter rival and former partner Shawn Spears at All Out—and battling to a draw with the exciting upstart Darby Allin at Fyter Fest.”

AEW execs have heavily stressed that the promotion will focus on wins and losses mattering. This is the first indication of how that will play a part going forward.

“Full Gear” will also feature Jon Moxley vs. Kenny Omega.

Jon Moxley has once again been booked to wrestle against Kenny Omega following an injury that forced him to withdraw from their scheduled match at All Out.

As you’ll recall, Moxley required surgery to fix a case of MRSA that returned in his elbow. PAC was confirmed as his replacement and ultimately won the match against Omega.

This is the first bout confirmed for “Full Gear.”

GREAT NEWS! We were able to secure the most prime seats in the house from AEW — Lower Level right by the ring! Sections 108 and 110 are across from the “hard cam” and Section 107 is right next to the “hard cam” where many VIPs will be sitting!

Here is what will be available:

The Platinum Bundle will include a pair (2) of STARRCAST Platinum Bracelets, a pair (2) of FULL GEAR tickets for seats in Lower Level Section 108 or 110 (these sections are across from the camera with a face value of $125/each before fees) or Lower Level 107 (right next to the hard cam, some of the best seats in the house), and a pair (2) of VIP Bracelets for the Official After Party. As a reminder, Platinum Bracelets receive the best views of the stage shows and “front of the line” access for Meet & Greet lines whenever possible.We should also note that these sections have limited seating and as a result we are making these available in pairs only. These are the best seats in the house so this package is EXTREMELY LIMITED at only 236 total pairs being made available. When they’re gone, THEY’RE GONE!

Based on the limited number of tickets that were made available, there is not a Gold Bundle option available at this moment. Should they become available, we will email you again with that information.
