Next weekend, Chris Jericho will defend the AEW World Heavyweight Championship against Cody Rhodes in the main event of AEW: Full Gear.
All Elite Wrestling has informed SEScoops that a panel of 3 esteemed judges has been named for the championship bout. In the event that Chris Jericho vs. Cody ends in a 60-minute time-limit draw, the judges will decide a winner:
“In the event there is no winner at the end of the 60-minute time limit, a panel of three esteemed judges, who will be seated at ringside, must vote for a winner. In the event there is not a unanimous choice, the majority decision will be the winner. This will ensure that a draw will not be the outcome of this World Championship title match.”
AEW’s implementation of time limit draws enhances the sports-like presentation of the product and adds another layer of urgency to each match.
We’ll provide an update when AEW announces who will be ringside judging the action on November 9th.
