Is there a source for this? Just checked AEW's Twitter and there's no mention of it.
EDIT: Never mind, just saw it was Meltzer reporting it.

Source or not, I think its a pretty safe bet at this point either way.
Oh absolutely, I think most have been assuming the title stipulation since the match was announced. I wonder why they didn't declare the stipulation at the same time?
I see it was Meltzer who confirmed the stipulation.
Most likely they want to be on the news cycle, especially this week leading up to All Out. I expect a media flurry this week seeing that this will be the last time we see them perform before TV starts.
After imagining Pentagon back in the main title hunt card for AEW all i can think now is that Fenix and Pentagon need to permanently bring on a third and form a stable like how Stronghearts and SCU do. Bring in Laredo Kid, run 3 mans a lot, but eventually push Fenix and Laredo as the tag unit so that Pentagon can get back to breaking arms in the heavyweight singles.
Catchphrase Man doing Cero Miedo for five minutes at the start of every match is not something I would look forward to.
I love Penta so very much, but SparkleMotion is right. Fenix is the one to push.
Traitor!
I'll never stop backing Penta as the superior brother. Never.
Oh HE'S DEFINITELY THE BETTER ONE! But he's not the better, you follow?
Finishing up Fight for the Fallen again today. Really hope Jericho has been hitting DDP yoga daily going into All Out. He looks gassed just talking.
Man, Cody is a great babyface. He's energetic, capable in the ring, and plays to the crowd.
How would people feel about him being in the title picture? And how soon would you put him there? Would you put him there at all? Or just put him in to have a match and lose to put a champ over?

I get it she sucks but the most she's done is win one match that wasn't high on the card and was being used to set up a bigger match (Kong vs Kong). There's no sign she's actually being positioned to main event for the woman. The amount of hate she gets is stupid.
Man, Riho vs. Nyla Rose vs. Yuka Sakazaki at Fyter Fest was so goooooooooood. I liked it the first time I saw it, but watching it with some distance from the event makes me like it all the more. Such a well-designed match that showcased Nyla while getting over the creativity and ring intelligence of Riho and Yuka.
She shouldn't be even close to the title picture in the first place but yeah, the dogpiling sucks.
Eh, Cody's a weird babyface because he still has the same old heel spots in his matches.
That said, I'm not against him being in the title picture like some of the other posters in this thread but I'm also in no rush to see him in there. That said, with Moxley out of All Out, I guess I wouldn't be opposed to Jericho vs Cody at their Q4 PPV. Kenny should beat Pac but I think they should be kept him away from Jericho for a while longer.
I mean I'm sure they knew what the responses were going to be to that tweet. Brandi is fantastic at a lot of things but has no business near the title picture.
Any of the elite guys could fit in the title picture. they are stupidly over and will always be stupidly over.
I think there's a good chance Jericho wins the title and they do a Jericho/Cody title match at an upcoming PPV or TV. they've been building that feud for a while.
Adam Page hasn't clicked for me yet, his promos feel forced and corny. Maybe I need to see him in a very physical match with Jericho to change my mind about him. I don't get people saying he's going to be a big star, he's just a generic face so far
I feel the same way. Seems like a guy who should be going for an Intercontinental belt instead of their main championship belt.
Exactly, Jericho was saying having him in this match makes him an instant star, but for me it all feels out of place. A legend vs a guy most people have never heard and looks like a baby face jobber from the 90's
Seems like they are probably going to put the strap on Jericho, to set him up to put up Mox or Omega as the top face, which would make sense. Could then let Adam Page build himself back up credibly as sort of the scrappy underdog chasing the title. Put me in the category of people that think Page has potential, but he ain't at that level yet, especially not with some of the other established talent currently on the roster. Pushing him that hard now runs the risk of turning him into AEW's Roman Reigns.
Yeah. At his level right now he should be feuding with MJF, Janela, Allin and Havok for a midcard title.

People really started to get in behind him because he had a great g1 last year. It was a great surprise but then you have to remember the insane amount of talent he was facing in the g1 can make a lot of people look good.

At this point whether he's ready or not, I actually think they might be putting the title on Page and not Jericho. Jericho is the safer move but I imagine they are willing to try it with Page. If for some reason they do go with that at least the title matches should be more interesting given what the main event scene looks like now. That's the only upside I could see though.
Fyter Fest was a really fun show. I think fans rated it lower because of comparing it to Double or Nothing, but in a vacuum it's a ton of fun and has a lot of memorable moments.
CIMA vs. Daniels (workmanlike opener with smooth and impressive wrestling)
Yuka vs. Nyla vs. Riho (awesome booking and spots throughout)
Havok vs. Jungle Boy vs. MJF vs. Page (a fun car crash match)
Cody vs. Darby (/w Spears chair shot...and Allin taking bumps for the industry)
The Elite vs. Lucha Bros. and Laredo Kid (Street Fighter intro and typically great spots with these guys)
Moxley vs. Janela (fun garbage match)
This show was better than Wrestlemania this year.

That seems to be saying he's hurt but he'll overcome it. Right?
Watch his stuff in NJPW or AEW lately. He's really good and was handcuffed in WWE.
Like a lot of guys, he's shown he was held back in WWE.
Cutting better promos and working better matches now that he's out.
The Ishii match was great, but outside of that he was pretty average in the G1.
i think the thing with him is there's a lot of excitement around the potential he represents. Guy just gout out from underneath a toxic employer and world is his oyster. That's something people really click with. It'll be interesting seeing him find where his ceiling is and fun watching him rediscover his style now that there's less restrictors in place..
