Cody suffered the cut when he flung himself through the rope to hit Jericho, but Jericho moved away and Cody landed face first onto the stage, opening the cut and causing blood to pour out. The match saw MJF, who was in Cody’s corner, throw in the towel and end the match. Afterwards, MJF attacked Cody by hitting a low blow, turning on him.
Per the stipulation that Cody imposed on himself in a recent episode of Dynamite, he can never challenge for the AEW World Championship ever again.
