At the 2019 All Out, the reigning FTW Champion defeated "Hangman" Adam Page to become the promotion's first world champion. In what was a first, the title bout was refereed by Aubrey Edwards, making her the first female referee in a world title match.
Speaking on Talk is Jericho, The Learning Tree revealed that he specifically asked Aubrey to officiate the match.
"I specifically requested [Aubrey Edwards] to be our referee for two reasons," explained Jericho. "One, I think she's the best referee in the company. We have some good referees, but I like her style. And I like the fact that we have the first female referee officiating a World Title match. You talk about the women's revolution; I think the fact that she's my favorite referee, I thought she was deserving of the honor. She did a great job. It led to an awesome spot in the middle of the match," he said.
Chris Jericho won the FTW Championship recently after defeating HOOK at AEW Dynasty pay-per-view.
