AEW Full Gear 2019: Highs and Lows from the PPV

#2 High: Triple Threat Tag Team Championship Match with the return of Christopher Daniels

The return of Christopher Daniels was one of the biggest surprises on the card

AEW has the strongest tag team division in all of professional wrestling, and it showed in the Triple Threat Tag Team Championship Match at AEW Full Gear.

All three tag teams competing for the gold (SoCal Uncensored, Private Party, and the Lucha Brothers) put on a show to prove why they are the best tag team in the world, showing off their entire high-flying arsenal, to the delight of the fans. Although this was one of the shorter matches on the card, it was also one of the most entertaining.

Following the successful defense of the tag titles by SCU, Pentagon Jr. and Fenix of the Lucha Brothers attacked Scorpio Sky and Frankie Kazarian of SoCal Uncensored, only to see the return of Christopher Daniels, the third member of SCU.

Daniels had been out of action for nearly a month after taking a piledriver at the hands of the Lucha Brothers and suffered a neck injury in the process. Dressed as a second Pentagon, The Fallen Angel got payback on the Lucha Bros, dropping them both and celebrating with the world tag titles.

#2 Low Point: Finish to Jericho vs. Cody for the AEW World Championship

The lacklustre finish to the World Championship Match

The most anticipated match on this wrestling card was the main event between Chris Jericho and Cody for the AEW World Championship. For a match so important for the history of All Elite Wrestling, the finish was lacklustre.

The feud between Jericho and Cody has been ongoing for months, with both attacking each other, alongside their factions, The Inner Circle and The Elite, until they finally had a one-on-one match at Full Gear for the World Title.

On top of that, Cody announced an added stipulation that if he did not walk out as the World Champion, he would never challenge for the AEW World Title again.

Both competitors put on a great wrestling performance but the finish will be the talk of the match. After a gruelling struggle for 30 minutes, Jericho finally gained the upper hand, applying his submission move, The Liontamer, on a fading Cody. Instead of having The American Nightmare tap out, Maxwell Jacob Friedman (who accompanied Cody to the ring) threw in the towel to save Cody and end the match, leaving many fans confused what happened.
