At Full Gear on November 7th, 2020, Matt Hardy and Sammy Guevara’s feud will continue with an Elite Deletion match. According to comments made recently on Wrestling Observer Radio, this will be a cinematic match taped ahead of time.
“This will be a cinematic match,” said Dave Meltzer on the show. “I don’t know if they are going to do it at the Hardy compound, I didn’t ask. But I know that it’s going to be a taped match and it’s not going live.”
The feud between Guevara and Hardy has been somewhat plagued by injuries. Hardy was busted up on an episode of Dynamite after Guevara tossed a heavy chair at his head. Then at the All Out PPV, Hardy was knocked unconcisous after both wrestlers jumped off a lift through a table. The match was re-started after Hardy was cleared to continue.
“I know that the original idea was to do it at Hardy’s house,” Meltzer continued. “I don’t know that they are or they’re not, I haven’t asked that one yet. That was the plan for this feud going back to March. At the beginning, they couldn’t do it there. So, that may be what this is, the plan they always had and finally getting to do this match.”
“Hardy and Sammy Guevara at the Hardy Compound was an idea that they had dating back well before the pandemic,” he continued. “The idea of them doing a cinematic match was always planned.”
AEW Full Gear Card
The following matches are now confirmed for AEW Full Gear, which takes place Saturday, November 7th from Jacksonville, FL at Daily’s Place.
AEW World Heavyweight Champion Jon Moxley vs.Eddie Kingston (I Quit Match)
AEW Tag Team Champions FTR vs. The Young Bucks
AEW World Heavyweight Title Tournament Finals
Matt Hardy vs. Sammy Guevara – Elite Deletion Match
The card for AEW Full Gear is starting to take shape. During Wednesday’s episode of AEW Dynamite, three new matches were confirmed for the upcoming pay-per-view.
First, the main event is now set. AEW Champion Jon Moxley will defend against Eddie Kingston. This won’t just be a traditional singles match. The rule book will be out the window for this one, as the two men will square off in an “I Quit Match.”
Jon Moxley cut this promo on Dynamite talking about his longstanding relationship with Eddie Kingston:
Next up, we now have #1 contenders to the AEW tag team titles. AEW held a fatal 4-way tag team match on Dynamite featuring Private Party vs. John Silver and Alex Reynolds vs. The Butcher and The Blade. In the end, Nick and Matt Jackson were victorious. The Bucks will now go on to face FTR for the AEW Tag Team Titles at Full Gear in what’s been billed as a “tag team dream match.”
Finally, the feud between Matt Hardy and Sammy Guevara continues. They’ll battle once again at Full Gear – this time, in an “Elite Deletion Match.”
The following matches are now confirmed for AEW Full Gear:
AEW World Heavyweight Champion Jon Moxley vs.Eddie Kingston (I Quit Match)

Full Gear pay-per-view will take place on Saturday, November 7, 2020, at the Jacksonville, Florida at Daily’s Place. The event will stream live on the BR Live platform in the United States and on FITE internationally.
All Elite Wrestling has announced the main event for their upcoming Full Gear pay-per-view.
During Wednesday’s episode of AEW Dynamite, it was confirmed that Jon Moxley will put his AEW World Championship on the line in his next defense against Eddie Kingston. To add to the bad blood, it will be an I Quit Match.
The match booking comes after Kingston attacked Moxley on last week’s episode of Dynamite. Moxley had successfully retained the World Heavyweight Title against Lance Archer.
AEW ended the show with Kingston explaining his actions only for him to continue it on this week’s show. He basically explained that his problem with Moxley comes down to Moxley leaving him behind so he could go work for a sports entertainment company, which is WWE. He noted that he never quit when he lost to Moxley a couple of weeks ago on Dynamite.
AEW announcer Jim Ross mentioned how it was Moxley who demanded to defend his title against Kingston at the pay-per-view.
IT'S OFFICIAL Saturday, Nov 7th at Full Gear. It's @MadKing1981 vs. @JonMoxley for the AEW World Championship in an 'I QUIT' MATCH!

Last year’s show was right in line with other AEW pay-per-view events as it did around 100,000 buys.
Jon Moxley and Kenny Omega tore the house down as the final match at Saturday night’s AEW Full Gear pay-per-view. This installment of our Statistical Analysis feature takes a deep dive into this hardcore clash between two of AEW’s most violent competitors. Let’s take a look at the key factors that led Jon Moxley to victory.
Jon Moxley vs. Kenny Omega Unsanctioned “Lights Out” Match AEW Full Gear (November 9th, 2019)
One of two matches on the Full Gear card dating back to Double or Nothing, the build for this match has spanned seven months. AEW fans have anticipated this match from the moment Jon Moxley attacked Kenny Omega in the final minutes of Double or Nothing.
Cancelled at All Out due to Moxley’s Mercer infection only heightened fans desire to see these two clash in an AEW ring. After six weeks of spotlight on AEW Dynamite, the build to this match has simmered to boiling point. To say that it finally boiled over at Full Gear would not do it justice!
Omega vs Moxley: The Numbers
This match was a very violent and painful 38 minutes 45 seconds and contained 165 offensive manoeuvres. Thus meaning viewers witnessed, an often brutal, offensive action ever 14 seconds! Kenny Omega was the man who dealt out the majority this collective offence with 58% of it coming from him.
As previously mentioned, this was an extremely violent match. In fact, 64 of the 165 offensive actions would have been illegal in a traditional match, that’s 39%.
Omega was not out of his depth in this kind of contest with 40 of his 96 manoeuvres fitting the criteria of this category, 42% of his total offensive moves. In comparison, Moxley’s numbers were 24 of 69, 35%. Not many people would have expected Kenny Omega to be the more violent participant in this match up.
Statistically, Kenny Omega owned Jon Moxley in this match up. He out did him when we examine strikes, dives, reversals and use of usually illegal offence. There was a small advantage for Moxley through use of submission and they cancelled each other out when it came to the use of grapples. When we look at these numbers it is far from clear how Moxley won this match.
The Margins of Victory
Part of the story here is Moxley’s ability to absorb the kind of punishment he endured in this match from his years of experience in these types of encounter. This was illustrated by the pre-match video package. Kenny Omega does not have the same level of experience.
Another strand of this Moxley-victory is the simple fact he hit the Paradigm Shift, twice. The Paradigm Shift is easier to execute than Kenny Omega’s more deadly One Winged Angel which Moxley did escape from in this match. The same was often true in Omega’s encounters with Okada who often benefitted from the hit-rate of his finishing move as opposed to the effectiveness of Omega’s.
Both Moxley’s ability to absorb extreme levels of punishment and the swiftness of the Paradigm Shift are undoubtedly factors. However, ultimately, it could be suggested that Kenny Omega was almost drunk on violence and was more interested in proving himself Moxley’s equal in this type of match than only securing the win.
This is evidenced by the fact Omega dealt out 18% more of the match’s offence but went for the same amount of pin attempts as Moxley and spent less time on submissions. A more visual piece of evidence? He needed three members of the Elite to bring out a pre-meditated additional object of violence.
This installment of our Statistical Analysis examines the ‘sanctioned’ main event of AEW Full Gear, the highly anticipated AEW World Championship bout between Chris Jericho and Cody Rhodes. (7 Takeaways From AEW Full Gear)
AEW World Champion Chris Jericho AEW Full Gear (November 9th, 2019)
The first AEW Pay-Per-View to have a weekly television build has been built around the main event rivalry of the ‘American Nightmare’ Cody and ‘Le Champion’ Chris Jericho. This rivalry has reached levels of animosity rarely seen, even in the competitive world of professional, in recent weeks seeing Cody even feel the need to put his eligibility for future World Championships opportunities on the line.
This match has dominated Dynamite on TNT over the last six weeks with fans enjoying some of the hottest confrontations and promos in the entire industry. The magnitude of this match was heightened by the big match feel added to by the addition of time limit draw separating judges. For this match they were revealed to be legendary wrestlers Dean Malenko, Arn Anderson and The Great Muta!
Cody vs. Jericho: By The Numbers
In a contest lasting almost half an hour, coming in at 29 minutes and 35 seconds, 141 offensive manoeuvres were hit with a further 37 being reversed and another 18 classified as fouls. This meant viewers saw an offensive move every 12.5 seconds. The majority of which came from Chris Jericho.
Jericho was the dominant force in this match, with 77 offensive actions to Cody’s 64 giving him 55% of the matches offence which does not take into account the 17 fouls, he and Hager managed to get away with.
The majority of Jericho’s offence came from strikes and submissions. He won the striking battle 56 to 49 with 6 knockdowns to Cody’s 4. He contained Cody in submission holds for 59 seconds longer than the reverse, 74 seconds in comparison to 15.
Cody was very much fighting from underneath for a significant amount of this match. This was illustrated by Jericho’s advantage in overall offence delivered. Cody dealt with this admirably and reversed more manoeuvres than Jericho, 20 compared to 17. Offensively he dealt more damage from grapples and dives however his exploits with the latter may have led to his eventual downfall.
The Margins of Victory
Commentary teams across the many arenas of professional wrestling draw attention to the risk taking nature of competitors who employ diving manoeuvres in their in-ring repertoire. Cody hit four of these attacks during the course of this match but it may be the one that he missed that cost him victory and any future chances at the AEW World Championship.
A mere eight minutes into the contest, Cody attempted a dive over the top rope but crashed face first into the elevated entrance ramp. This bloodied the challenger and supplied Jericho with a target for the remainder of the match. This mistake from Cody allowed Jericho to dominate the match to such an extent that ultimately it led to his downfall.
When a match is decided but the duplicitous actions of an outside party, it is hard to point to a competitive factor as being the margin in the competing performances that led to the victory. MJF threw in the towel at a moment during which it would be believable for an ally of Cody’s to do so.
For MJF to believably throw in the towel, Cody had to be losing and in this match it was not a guarantee that he would end up with a loss but at this stage in the contest he certainly was losing. Jericho was able to beatdown Cody to a stage where he was able to apply his submission finisher not once but twice.
All this can be traced back to that early missed dive at eight minutes and two seconds.
This was a long-awaited showdown that was delayed from taking place back in August. The reason for that is due to Moxley having to pull out their scheduled match at the All Out event at the Sears Centre in Chicago, IL that aired on pay-per-view.
Moxley had a serious case of MRSA in his elbow that was picked up during his time in the NJPW G1 Climax.
On the October 30th episode of AEW Dynamite on TNT, All Elite Wrestling announced the stipulation for the contest due to the storyline bad blood between the two stars.
Cameras followed Moxley into the office of AEW President Tony Khan’s office where it was revealed that this scheduled match had to be an unsanctioned lights out match as AEW can no longer sanction the match.

Cody Rhodes wasn’t the wrestler to dethrone Chris Jericho as AEW World Heavyweight Champion.
Jericho successfully retained the title over Rhodes in the headliner of the AEW Full Gear pay-per-view event from the Royal Farms Arena in Baltimore, Maryland. The three judges for the contest were Great Muta, Arn Anderson, and Dean Malenko.
The stipulation coming into this match was the fact that if Cody didn’t beat Jericho then he will never allow himself to challenge for the AEW World Title again. MJF threw in the towel while Jericho had Cody in the Walls of Jericho, which resulted in the finish.
Post-match, MJF kicked him in the nuts and stood over Cody.
This contest was set up due to Rhodes having the best singles record in the promotion at the time as All Elite Wrestling protected his character on-screen to elevate him as the top babyface title challenger.
Jericho became the inaugural AEW World Heavyweight Champion when he beat Hangman Page in the headliner of the All Out pay-per-view event back in August at the Sears Centre Arena in Chicago.
At this same show, while on the undercard, Cody defeated Shawn Spears to improve his singles match record.

This marked the first title defense for SCU, who recently won the titles to become the inaugural champions. SCU successfully retained the titles.
On Friday, AEW announced its first-ever lists of Top 5 Rankings for the week of November 8, 2019. You can see the tag team rankings here:

This match was originally slated for the AEW Double or Nothing pay-per-view event at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas on May 25, 2019. However, plans changed.
There was an angle done at a WrestleGate show in Nottingham, England involving PAC and Page earlier this year to present the match that had been built up because the match didn’t take place at Double or Nothing.
Page agreed to fly to England and do the match to make up for the hyped match. It was released on YouTube. At the time, it was reported that it was nixed due to creative differences and PAC was pulled from the card.
At Double or Nothing, Page drew the Joker card in the Casino Battle Royale allowing him to enter at lucky number 21 where he would win the contest and become a competitor to wrestle for the chance to become the first-ever AEW World Heavyweight Champion. He lost to Chris Jericho at All Out.

The Young Bucks didn’t get their revenge on the Inner Circle members Santana & Ortiz.
At the AEW Full Gear pay-per-view event from the Royal Farms Arena in Baltimore, Maryland, Santana & Ortiz beat Nick & Matt Jackson in a tag team match. This served as the opening contest on the main card.
This feud kicked off at the All Out event from the Sears Centre in Chicago, IL that aired on pay-per-view in August. It happened after the Lucha Brothers beat Young Bucks to retain the AAA Tag Team Titles.
Post-match, two masked men attacked Lucha Bros then Nick Jackson. The former team known as LAX was revealed as the masked men.
The Young Bucks lost to Private Party in the opening round of the AEW Tag Team Title tournament. Santana and Ortiz didn’t compete in the tournament.
Time will tell whether AEW continues this feud or goes into a different direction heading into the future.
The fallout from this match will be presented on Wednesday’s episode of Dynamite on TNT from Municipal Auditorium in Nashville, TN.

SEScoops.com Round Table Writers For AEW Full Gear
As is the case before every major pay-per-view event, SEScoops.com compiles a handful of pro wrestling journalists to provide their in-depth insight and analysis into each match scheduled on the card in our SEScoops.com Predictions Roundtable feature.
Joining us for this AEW Full Gear installment will be veteran staff writers Ian Carey, Andrew Ravens and Jeff Moss.
Without further adieu, let’s take a look at our official AEW Full Gear Predictions.
Buy-In Pre-Show: Britt Baker vs. Bea Priestley
Ian Carey: I’m a little torn on this one. Baker just lost to Riho and they will likely want to rehab her from that but on the other hand, Bea Priestley seems like the biggest star they have in the division. They have to push her to a shot at Riho, right? It’s also weird this is on the preshow considering the role Baker seems to have and the rivalry that’s been brewing. I’m picking Bea but I’m not super confident about it. (Prediction: Bea Priestley)
Andrew Ravens: I think this is a pretty easy pick from all of the matches on the card. Baker should and will win. She is being groomed as a top star under the AEW banner in the women’s division. Outside of Riho, she is their biggest women’s talent that they have. I like this matchup, which will be a fun match. (Prediction: Britt Baker)
Jeff Moss: What’s interesting about this match is that Britt Baker, sorry, DOCTOR Britt Baker is a dentist, and AEW managed to go almost a whole show without mentioning it! Seriously though, Baker has a bit of payback to exact over the concussion she suffered courtesy of Priestly at Fight For The Fallen, so there’s a grudge to be settled here. With that said, I’d take Baker — who is totally a dentist — in this one, for the best reason of all: Revenge. (Prediction: Britt Baker)
CONSENSUS: 2-1, Britt Baker
Shawn Spears vs Joey Janela
Ian: Both of these two need wins. Actually, I’m not certain Janela actually needs to win his matches to be popular but all the same. Spears has one singles win against Michael Nakazawa but it seemed like they would push him harder than they have after he aligned with Tully Blanchard. Perhaps, Full Gear will be the start of a winning streak for Spears. I wouldn’t be that surprised to see Janela pull off an upset though. (Prediction: Shawn Spears)
Andrew: A late addition to the card and this is just a random thrown together match that I’m not sure why was added than other to fill time. They have no program but will be wrestling with each other. Following his match with Cody Rhodes at All Out, Spears has fallen off a cliff on television and seems to have no direction. I think a cheap win can get him back on track. (Prediction: Shawn Spears)
Jeff: Another match that has the potential to get bloody, fast. I can’t stress how much I’m enjoying Asshole Tye Dillinger. Just being associated with Tully Blanchard makes him even more snake-like in my book. That said, Joey Janela is hardcore. I’d rather see Spears go over here, mainly so he doesn’t find himself back in an enhancement talent role, so we’ll see how things shake out. (Prediction: Shawn Spears)
CONSENSUS: 3-0, Shawn Spears
SCU vs. The Lucha Bros vs. Private Party
Ian: After Private Party won the bronze medal match against Dark Order this week, they were added to this match here. Triple threats are great for having a team win without them having to actually beat another team. For that reason, expect SCU to get the pin over Private Party and not the Lucha Bros, that way Pentagon and Fenix stay in the tag title picture. I’m predicting a successful title defense for SCU, followed by a post-match beatdown by the Lucha Bros, followed by a run-in save by Christopher Daniels. (Prediction: SoCal Uncensored)
Andrew: Since SCU just won the titles, I don’t see why a title change would take place here. They have a built-in story with SCU vs. The Lucha Brothers but since they made it a three-way, I think they didn’t want Lucha to eat the loss but wanted to continue this story. Thus, they put Private Party in the contest for them to take the fall. With that said, SCU should and will retain the straps here. (Prediction: SoCal Uncensored)
Jeff: SCU just won the titles on Dynamite, so I can’t see them dropping them so quickly here. I expect them to win, but the Lucha Brothers will do something spectacularly dangerous, if for no other reason than to upstage the Bucks in their match. Adding Private Party to the mix here adds an element of the unknown, but regardless, the titles stay put. (Prediction: SoCal Uncensored)
CONSENSUS: 3-0, SCU
Riho vs. Emi Sakura (AEW Women’s Title)
Ian: As much as we’d all love a Freddie Mercury cosplayer as champion, it feels as though the belt will stay on Riho here. Riho garners such sympathy whenever she takes a move that I have to imagine she’ll eventually drop the title to one of the divisions larger women, such as Awesome Kong or Nyla Rose or possibly to Bea Priestley. I just can’t see her dropping it here. (Prediction: Riho)
Andrew: Riho wins. This is a no brainer as Riho is a big fan favorite especially with women and young girls. The ratings back that up. Sakura is a talented star but is still unknown to most fans who watch the AEW product. It will be interesting to see if fans in attendance believe any of Sakura’s offense against Riho. (Prediction: Riho)
Jeff: I honestly didn’t know much about Riho when she first won the Women’s title, but I’ve grown quite fond of her. As we watch Brandi Rhodes slowly descend into madness, I like the idea of Riho establishing herself as a champion. This will be a really fast, cool NJPW match between two rising stars in North America, but in the end Riho retains. (Prediction: Riho)
CONSENSUS: 3-0, Riho
Hangman Page vs. PAC
Ian: So between the match they had in England and the match they had on Dynamite, these two are 1-1 against each other. The thing with Page is, he’s not going back to the world title picture anytime soon, at least I don’t think. It feels like Page chasing the title is a long-term plan, whereas they want PAC in the title picture soon. For that reason, I think PAC gets the win and moves closer to a title shot. (Prediction: PAC)
Andrew: So between the match they had in England and the match they had on Dynamite, these two are 1-1 against each other. The thing with Page is, he’s not going back to the world title picture anytime soon, at least I don’t think. It feels like Page chasing the title is a long-term plan, whereas they want PAC in the title picture soon. For that reason, I think PAC gets the win and moves closer to a title shot. (Prediction: PAC)
Jeff: Honestly? I’d watch PAC fight a potted plant and call it match of the year. The dude is practically unrecognizable from his NXT Champion days, and twice as entertaining. British Strong Style? More like BASTARD PAC STYLE. He’s the next contender for the AEW title in my mind, so I’d expect him to win decisively and brutally here. (Prediction: PAC)
CONSENSUS: 3-0, PAC
The Young Bucks vs. Santana & Ortiz (AEW Tag Titles)
Ian: After dropping the semi-final of the tag tournament to Private Party, it feels like the Young Bucks could use a big win here. A loss for Santana and Ortiz this early after debuting isn’t great but losing to the Young Bucks never hurts anyone too hard. I’m fairly certain both of these teams will be in the title chase not long after this PPV. (Prediction: The Young Bucks)
Andrew: This is one of the hardest matches to pick as Santana and Ortiz should win and will likely do so but The Young Bucks lost at All Out and then in the Tag Team Title Tournament so they need a big win. I will take Santana and Ortiz only because they are part of the Inner Circle as Jake Hager could cause a distraction for the win. (Prediction: Santana & Ortiz)
Jeff: This should be a really fun match, with lots of hard hits, high flies, and of course tassels. The Bucks know how to put on a show, and Santana & Ortiz were one of the highlights of TNA (I’m told). This is a great match to forward the Elite Vs Inner Circle feud that’s taking over AEW storylines, so while the stakes aren’t that high on paper, overall it should have some impact. I have to take the Bucks in this one. (Prediction: The Young Bucks)
CONSENSUS: 2-1, The Young Bucks
Jon Moxley vs. Kenny Omega (Unsanctioned “Lights Out” Match)
Ian: This is a tough one to pick because it seems like AEW will want to push both of these guys into the world title scene sometime soon. Omega has lost to PAC and Jericho already and probably can’t afford another loss. Moxley hasn’t lost yet but did go to a time-limit draw with PAC. I think it makes sense for Omega to get the win and then we get a triple threat with these two and PAC with the winner earning a title shot. Otherwise, Omega is really going to have a hard time making up for some of these early losses. (Prediction: Kenny Omega)
Andrew: This is going to be a fun match but a more interesting finish to it as both guys need to win. Yes, Moxley has been more protected than Omega up to this point and could eat a pinfall but I see Moxley heading to the world title picture quicker than Omega. I think Omega will lose here but I don’t agree with it. Prior to the launch of AEW, Omega was booked as a bigger deal and to the hardcore fans, he still is but in the eyes of the casual fans, he’s a top mid-card guy, which isn’t good. Moxley goes over. (Prediction: Jon Moxley)
Jeff: It’s been months in the making and this match is the leading candidate for match of the night for me. This should include some crazy spots, hardcore action and I’d expect a whole bunch of blood. If I had my way this match would be the official “Return of the Cleaner” and let Kenny Omega go full Omega on the guy who would take it the best (non-PAC division) Jon Moxley. I wonder if they will put this match on last, or save it for the title bout? At any rate, Kenny Omega will (and needs) the win here. (Prediction: Kenny Omega)
CONSENSUS: 2-1, Kenny Omega
Chris Jericho vs. Cody (AEW World Title)
Ian: Well, up until Dynamite this week I would have said that Jericho is winning this match but now that’s all up in the air. Cody’s announcement that if he doesn’t beat Jericho then he’ll never challenge for the title again changes things. It’s possible Cody could lose and just decide he doesn’t want to ever book himself to win the title or he could win and become the 2nd ever champion. I’m betting he wins the title but then loses it back to Jericho fairly quickly after, similar to what his Dad used to do with Ric Flair. (Prediction: Cody)
Andrew: This is the rightful main event and the right #1 contender to the AEW World Title. While Rhodes is an executive in the company, he was the right star to be chosen for this spot at the moment. His win record backs that up and since AEW puts a focus on it, this was the right call. This has been a great build-up as both guys are great talkers and while it might not be the best match on the card, it will live up to expectations. There’s no reason to take the title off of Jericho right now as he’s the biggest star that AEW has right now. I don’t like the stipulation that Rhodes added as that means there will have to be a screw job finish to this contest. (Prediction: Chris Jericho)
Jeff: If the fact that Chris Jericho is universally beloved “Shampiown” right now, and Cody is the EVP of the company weren’t enough to telegraph the result of this match, adding a “I’ll never challenge for it again” stipulation certainly seals the deal. Who wins then? Well, I’d expect Cody to win, but Jericho to keep the title in what will assuredly be a DQ, run-in and outside interference filled match. (Prediction: Cody via DQ)
CONSENSUS: 2-1, Cody

Cody Rhodes had been hyping up the fact that he would be making a career announcement.
Rhodes did so on Wednesday’s episode of AEW Dynamite on TNT when he revealed a stipulation for his match against AEW World Heavyweight Champion Chris Jericho at AEW Full Gear.
This is where he cut a promo about how if he doesn’t beat Jericho at this show then he will never challenge for the title again. The reason for this was due to hearing the criticisms of him being in a title match and an AEW Executive Vice President. Rhodes’ promo was highly praised by fans on social media.
The AEW Full Gear pay-per-view event will take place on Saturday, November 9th from the Royal Farms Arena in Baltimore, Maryland and has already sold out.

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.

It didn’t take long for AEW officials to re-book Jon Moxley vs. Kenny Omega.
On Wednesday, the promotion, which launched in January, announced the first match for their upcoming Full Gear pay-per-view event. That match is this long-awaited showdown that was delayed from taking place.
Moxley had to pull out their scheduled match at the All Out event in at the Sears Centre in Chicago, IL that aired on pay-per-view this past Saturday night.
The reason for that was due to a “serious case of MRSA” in his elbow that was picked up during his time in the NJPW G1 Climax.
