This is a tricky one. How do you get Cody back into the AEW Championship picture without ruining the brilliance of the Cody versus Chris Jericho feud?

The way around this is through Darby Allin. With Darby as the champion, Allin will be a fighting champion and the one thing that Darby has never done is beat Cody. There has been one no contest and two losses on Darby's record. Darby challenges Cody to match for the title and Cody reluctantly accepts Darby's challenge.

The two have an amazing match. Playing on the different spots from their previous encounters. However, when the ref is taken out Cody seizes the opportunity and low blows Darby. Cross Rhodes. 1, 2, 3. This moment is the catalyst for Cody to finally turn heel and he does it by cheating against one of the most beloved babyfaces in the company.
