Many assumed that the championship match could take place at AEW’s next official event, Fight for the Fallen on July 13, with Chris Jericho recently revealing that he will be performing at the show.
However, speaking on Busted Open Radio, Jericho confirmed that he will actually be facing Hangman Page on August 31st at AEW’s All Out Pay-Per-View, the sequel to All In. The winner of the bout in at the Sears Center in Chicago will become the first ever AEW World Champion.
