Here’s everything that went down on a special, exhilarating, 4-hour episode of AEW Fyter Fest 2025, including your full AEW Fyter Fest results and recap.
Will Ospreay Challenges Swerve Strickland, Gets Interrupted
To start off AEW Fyter Fest, Tony Schiavone welcomed Will Ospreay to address recent events involving Hangman Adam Page and Swerve Strickland. Reflecting candidly on his unsuccessful attempt to unify the two against the Death Riders, Ospreay openly admitted, "It's embarrassing... it's not my brightest idea to try and get Swerve and Hangman on the same page. They actually hate one another." Nevertheless, he emphasized the necessity for unity, insisting, "They're not the enemy here. The enemy's Jon Moxley."
Ospreay passionately addressed Moxley directly, stating, "Jon Moxley has said on this show he hates what AEW has become. I've got a fantastic idea, Jon—piss off then." He confidently highlighted AEW stars who fuel the company's success: "People like myself, like Hangman, like Swerve, like Toni Storm, like Kenny Omega are the reason why AEW has momentum again."
Expressing firm commitment to Hangman, Ospreay declared, "I've given Hangman Page my word. My word means something. I will play a part in ensuring that world title comes back." Recognizing the brewing threat between Swerve and Hangman, he also addressed Swerve directly, "Listen to me and listen to me clear. I love you, brother... but before I take a bullet for you, I will take a bullet for AEW." Ospreay challenged Swerve openly for a match, promising, "Next week at Summer Blockbuster, I'm calling you out for a fight, lad."
The intensity escalated further when Lio Rush and Action Andretti interrupted. Mocking Ospreay’s heartfelt speech, Andretti dismissively taunted, "It's a little powwow you got going on right now with Tony Schiavone. It's real cute." Rush followed, sarcastically applauding Ospreay as "a true Brit," before sharply stating, "If there's one thing that I know about Brits... it's that they like to talk a lot... And you out here doing a lot of yapping."
With pointed aggression, Rush directly insulted Ospreay, claiming, "The worst thing about AEW is your dumb ass." Fired up, Ospreay enthusiastically accepted Rush’s provocation for a fight later that night, shouting confidently to the approving crowd, "We're sold out, baby! I've got me fake tan on, bruv! I've got me crime fighting pants upstairs. Anyone wanna see a Will Ospreay match tonight?" Ospreay concluded with determination, telling Rush, "Tonight on Collision, let me get in my crime fighting pants, and I'll see you in the ring, brother."
Jon Moxley vs. Mark Briscoe
AEW Fyter Fest next featured a fierce, non-title battle between AEW World Champion Jon Moxley and Mark Briscoe, marked by intense physicality and interference from the Death Riders at ringside.
Both competitors started aggressively, with Briscoe immediately employing his signature "Redneck Kung Fu," raining blows onto Moxley and delivering a punishing series of strikes. Briscoe showcased agility and precision, notably executing a sharp baseball-slide uppercut and a scissor kick through the ropes to send Moxley reeling to the outside.
The match momentum swung significantly due to interference by Wheeler Yuta, who distracted the referee allowing Moxley to send Briscoe face-first into the steel ring post, opening a nasty gash. Moxley exploited this injury ruthlessly, using sharp elbow strikes to widen the cut further.
Briscoe battled valiantly, mounting a thrilling comeback highlighted by his "Froggy Bow" attempt aimed right at Moxley’s groin, but Moxley countered effectively by locking in a submission. Briscoe desperately fought back and finally delivered his devastating finishing move, the "Jay Driller," but astonishingly, Moxley became the first in AEW to kick out of the maneuver.
Attempting a rare "Cutthroat Driver," Briscoe was stopped again by Moxley, who swiftly countered, ultimately seizing control with a brutal spike to Briscoe's head. Moxley then decisively locked in the "Bulldog Choke," transitioning briefly before reapplying and maintaining relentless pressure. The referee, seeing Briscoe unable to respond, called for a stoppage, awarding the victory to Moxley by referee stoppage due to the Bulldog Choke.
Despite the loss, Briscoe's resilience was evident, having endured substantial interference and physical punishment from Moxley and the Death Riders.
AEW Women’s World Champion “Timeless” Toni Storm & Mina Shirakawa vs. Julia Hart & Skye Blue
An intense women's tag match unfolded as AEW Women’s World Champion "Timeless" Toni Storm teamed up with Mina Shirakawa to face Julia Hart and Skye Blue. TBS Champion Mercedes Moné joined commentary, noting confidently, "Since I love serving looks and eating up the competition, I think I’m gonna enjoy this match way better with a table for one. Bring me my table and my steak."
The bout began swiftly, with Shirakawa executing a sharp elbow strike followed by a crisp wraparound kick to Skye Blue. Storm and Shirakawa quickly displayed synergy, using tandem offense including a coordinated back elbow and splash combination. Blue showed resilience, escaping a "Glamorous Driver" attempt from Shirakawa with agility.
Julia Hart and Skye Blue took control by isolating Shirakawa effectively. Hart’s agile assault included a running back elbow and skillful manipulation of the ropes. Together, Hart and Blue demonstrated precise teamwork, notably landing a devastating double-team maneuver that left Shirakawa dazed.
Throughout the match, Mercedes Moné remained an interested observer, seemingly unimpressed initially, absorbed by her ringside luxuries. However, her demeanor shifted slightly when Storm faced adversity. Moné noticeably smiled, amused at Storm’s struggle, highlighting her mental advantage heading into their upcoming clash at All In Texas.
In a pivotal moment, Shirakawa fought back with a dynamic aerial move resembling a Sling Blade from the top rope, finally enabling a crucial tag to Storm. The champion immediately changed the bout's momentum, unleashing powerful offense, including an explosive shotgun dropkick and a commanding hip attack to regain control.
The match culminated dramatically when Storm executed a punishing German suplex, further weakening Skye Blue. She quickly transitioned into her decisive TCM chicken wing submission hold. Blue faded quickly, leaving the referee no choice but to declare Storm and Shirakawa victorious via submission.
MJF and Will Ospreay Confrontation
Lexy Nair spoke with Will Ospreay ahead of his match against Lio Rush, also highlighting his upcoming clash with Swerve Strickland in Portland, Oregon. The conversation swiftly escalated when MJF interrupted, offering unsolicited advice.
MJF insisted he came with good intentions, stating, "I'm actually coming here to help you. You need to stay out of Swerve and the cowboy's business." He explained his rationale bluntly: "If you take Swerve out when he would've taken out cowboy, his chances of winning the world title drastically go up. And to make matters worse, if you can actually get them to get along well, then cowboy's a shoo-in to win the world title." MJF then sharply reminded Ospreay of his past loss, saying, "Maybe you don't remember because he knocked you clean the hell out at Double or Nothing, but you can't beat Hangman."
Unimpressed, Ospreay responded dismissively, "That's lovely, mate. Have you got anything more to say? Because I've got a match later on." He accused MJF of self-interest, contrasting himself by stating, "Me, I'm thinking about AEW." Ospreay then confidently challenged MJF's intentions: "You don't want Hangman to win the belt because you have no chance of beating Hangman on your best day."
MJF, looking to rattle Ospreay further, provocatively asked, "Hey, quick question. How's your son Harry doing?" The tension spiked immediately as Ospreay bristled at the personal jab, and he sharply replied, "Are you—?"
Before matters could escalate further, The Hurt Syndicate arrived, led by MVP. MVP defused the tension subtly, remarking calmly yet assertively to Ospreay, "Mr. Ospreay," before turning to MJF, stating pointedly, "Young Maxwell Jacob Friedman, or more appropriately, the Hurt Syndicate—we have business elsewhere tonight. Good luck to you in your match."
Bobby Lashley lingered briefly, straightening out Ospreay’s shirt with a subtle yet telling gesture before exiting.
MJF Makes His Intentions Clear, Backed By The Hurt Syndicate
The Hurt Syndicate—Shelton Benjamin, Bobby Lashley, MVP and MJF—stepped into the ring at AEW Fyter Fest, immediately asserting dominance. MVP began boldly: "This is an official announcement from The Hurt Syndicate," setting the stage for a confident address to Denver.
MVP further declared, praising his team's invincibility: "I'm standing with the absolute greatest tag team that ever existed in the history of the sport. You could put together your dream team… and they couldn't remove the championships from the waists of these two mega stars." He challenged any contenders directly, asserting forcefully, "There is no one capable of beating the Standard of Excellence and the Almighty for the AEW Tag Team Championships."
After MVP concluded, he respectfully turned over to MJF, remarking, "I would like you all to show respect to the young genius Maxwell Jacob Friedman."
MJF, in characteristic abrasive style, immediately confronted the booing crowd: "I'd appreciate some silence while I'm speaking, it's a little rude." He emphasized his ambition, stating emphatically, "I want gold, just like my best friends Bob and Shelton have. I want back my AEW World Championship." MJF targeted lucha libre legend Mistico ahead of AEW’s upcoming Grand Slam Mexico event, sarcastically mocking, "Mistico, your country believes you're the best wrestler in the world... that can't be true, because the best wrestler in the world doesn't hail from Mexico, he hails from the only country that's worth a damn—the United States of America." Taunting the Mexican audience further, he claimed superiority, proudly noting, "I'm a megastar, baby!"
MJF condescendingly promised to evaluate Mistico’s worthiness for a future match, concluding sharply, "When it comes to the Syndicate, it ain't personal, it's just business."
This prompted an unexpected interruption as Komander, Speedball Bailey, and Kevin Knight emerged. MVP mockingly greeted them: "We got White Sho'Nuff, we got Bruce Leroy, and we got the Blue Ranger. What are we doing here? What do you morons want?"
Komander passionately confronted MJF: "You disrespect Mistico, you disrespect lucha, you disrespect me." Speedball Bailey challenged confidently, "You said you wanted the best. Well, in front of you is a group of international killers."
Kevin Knight stepped forward decisively, addressing MJF sharply, "Now Maxwell, I know you may be a little bit uncultured, slightly unseasoned… I'm gonna keep it real short and sweet for your simple ass: Hurt Syndicate, we can get it poppin' right here tonight, here in the Mile High City, baby."
However, MVP refused the immediate challenge firmly, responding, "Absolutely not, because you guys haven't earned it," leaving the trio determined to prove themselves to the dominant champions.
This verbal showdown at Fyter Fest intensified the rivalry, setting an explosive stage for future confrontations.
LFI vs. Komander, Speedball Bailey & Kevin Knight
The highly anticipated AEW Fyter Fest trios match began chaotically, with La Facción Ingobernable (RUSH, Dralístico, and The Beast Mortos) quickly asserting dominance. Early in the contest, Komander was violently driven skull-first into the steel ring steps, while RUSH relentlessly punished Kevin Knight, repeatedly slamming him headfirst into the announce desk.
Despite this early dominance by LFI, the resilient team of Komander, Speedball Mike Bailey, and Kevin Knight (collectively referred to by commentators as "Jet Speed") fought back impressively. Knight, fresh from an intense competition tour in Japan, demonstrated his tenacity with an impactful arm drag on RUSH, while Bailey followed up with a precise dropkick to RUSH's head.
LFI utilized their aggressive, rule-breaking tactics, highlighted by Mortos forcefully hurling Bailey onto his teammates at ringside. Dralístico displayed his athleticism with a snapmare and powerful dropkick, while Mortos delivered punishing offense, including a potent elbow drop from the top rope.
A turning point came when Komander tagged in, executing a breathtaking assisted DDT from the shoulders of Knight and Bailey onto Dralístico. Komander continued his momentum, landing a spectacular Moonsault Press for a close two-count. Later, Kevin Knight showcased impressive strength, countering RUSH’s offense into a devastating backbreaker.
The frenetic pace escalated as all competitors exchanged high-impact moves. LFI nearly secured victory with a tandem attack: Dralístico hitting a precision diving double stomp, RUSH landing a German Suplex, and Mortos delivering a thunderous Samoan Drop, yet Knight heroically broke up the pinfall.
In the climactic moments, Bailey connected with a full-extension Thrust Kick, stunning Mortos. Knight and Bailey then perfectly executed a tandem maneuver, setting up Komander for a dazzling dive to the outside, effectively neutralizing RUSH and Dralístico. This allowed Kevin Knight to secure victory decisively, landing his signature UFO (Unidentified Flying Opponent) on The Beast Mortos for the pinfall victory.
Post-match, MVP and The Hurt Syndicate (Shelton Benjamin, Bobby Lashley, and MJF) re-emerged. MVP mockingly applauded Jet Speed, saying sarcastically, "You got your asses kicked for about eight to ten minutes, but you had the temerity to pull it off." He then provocatively declared, "Next week, you guys get to face Shelton Benjamin, Bobby Lashley, and MJF in a trios match. But the beautiful part of that is you get a preview of that ass whooping right now."
However, MVP's plans swiftly unraveled. Knight, Bailey, and Komander immediately countered, repelling The Hurt Syndicate with rapid-fire dropkicks and high-flying maneuvers, culminating in Komander spectacularly springing onto MJF, sending The Hurt Syndicate retreating.
Paragon and Daniel Garcia Join Forces
In a brief but significant backstage segment at AEW Fyter Fest, Adam Cole of Paragon approached Daniel Garcia with an earnest proposition. Acknowledging their complicated past, Cole began respectfully:
"Danny, I appreciate you giving us the time, and listen, I know we've had our battles in the past, but I would like to think we have a shared mutual respect for one another."
Cole quickly shifted to their common adversary, the Don Callis Family, suggesting a united front against them. He passionately proposed: "More importantly, we can't stand the Don Callis Family. So I had an idea—I feel like later tonight, the four of us, against the four of them, we whoop their ass and teach them a lesson. What do you say?"
Garcia thoughtfully considered the invitation, responding decisively:
"We definitely got some respect for each other or something like that. There's a lot of things that I want right now. Getting my hands on the Don Callis Family is number one, so I'll see you guys out there."
Cole confidently concluded the brief exchange with determination:
"We'll see you out there, Danny."
The Patriarchy Speaks
Christian Cage and Ring of Honor Television Champion Nick Wayne of The Patriarchy spoke with interviewer Lexy Nair. Christian immediately addressed the Denver audience with characteristic disdain: "First things first, Denver. I realize the thin air up here cuts off the airflow to your brain and it gives a great excuse for you all not being very intelligent. Even you have to be smart enough to realize when The Patriarch appears before you, you sit down and shut your mouth while I conduct my business."
Turning his attention to Nick Wayne, Christian praised his recent efforts overseas while subtly criticizing his performance:
"Nick had a tremendous showing at the New Japan Best of the Super Juniors, but he didn't win the tournament. He wrestled 14 matches in 22 days, but no excuses. Right, Nick?"
Christian then firmly reminded Wayne of his responsibilities:
"That kind of schedule would earn anybody a well-deserved night off, but you aren't anybody, Nick. You are the son of Christian Cage. You are the Ring of Honor Television Champion, and tonight we're gonna keep the momentum going because you're gonna defend your championship right here in Denver."
Surprised yet undeterred, Wayne confidently responded:
"Great. You did this to me before I left and it was light work for me. I mean, light work for me."
Christian, however, had more to reveal, interrupting Wayne's confidence:
"Well, you didn't let me finish, Nick, because the stakes are a little bit higher this time. 'Cause not only will you be defending your Ring of Honor Television Championship, you'll be defending it in a four-way."
Ending with a cryptic note, Christian remarked as he left with Shayna:
"Now, Shayna, let's go find a place to lay down. I mean, actually, maybe we should watch this one up close. Don't worry. Kip's working on—he's working on an even bigger surprise, Nick."
Max Caster’s Open Challenge Answered by Powerhouse Hobbs
Platinum Max Caster confidently took center stage, immediately declaring himself the top talent: "You are looking live at the best wrestler alive."
Caster carried a petition asserting his greatness, humorously addressing referee Paul Turner, stating: "And in my hand is a petition acknowledging that Platinum Max is, in fact, the best wrestler alive. And Mr. Referee, I don't believe you've signed this yet." When Excalibur questioned if this was a conflict of interest, Caster dismissively replied, "No. So please do me the honors and sign your name."
Turning to the Colorado crowd, Caster encouraged them to chant his praises, announcing, "I know all the Maximaniacs here in the Mile High City wanna do one thing and one thing only, and that's chant my name." He led an enthusiastic, if awkward, chant: "Let's go Max. You're the best wrestler alive." But after a tepid response, Caster candidly remarked, "I'll be honest, guys. That was bad."
Undeterred, Caster officially opened his challenge, declaring dramatically, "But tonight is the return of the five-minute Open Challenge with Platinum Max. So right now, give me five minutes on the clock, and let's see who can survive five with the best wrestler alive."
Caster, however, was blindsided when Powerhouse Hobbs surprisingly appeared from behind rather than through the entrance ramp, catching Max unprepared. Hobbs, dressed casually yet imposing, immediately attacked, quickly overwhelming Caster. After absorbing minimal offense—including an ineffective eye poke and a thwarted double jump axe-handle attempt by Caster—Hobbs crushed Caster with a bone-jarring side slam for an emphatic victory with significant time remaining.
As commentator Excalibur quipped, "Powerhouse Hobbs survives the best wrestler alive. I don't know if Max Caster survived Will Hobbs," the dominance of Hobbs was undeniably established at Fyter Fest.
AEW International Championship 4-Way Match: Brodie King vs. Claudio Castagnoli vs. Mascara Dorada vs. Kenny Omega
AEW Fyter Fest showcased an intense 4-Way battle for Kenny Omega's AEW International Championship. Competing alongside Omega were powerhouse Brody King, luchador sensation Mascara Dorada, and skilled technician Claudio Castagnoli.
The action ignited swiftly, with Castagnoli immediately blindsiding Omega. Brody King asserted dominance early with fierce strikes and explosive power, including a thunderous sandwich collision crushing both Dorada and Castagnoli simultaneously into the corner.
Mascara Dorada demonstrated dazzling agility, soaring over the ropes with a breathtaking Tope con Giro to flatten opponents outside. Omega showed his grit by delivering precise, impactful Snapdragon suplexes, astonishingly lifting and throwing even the massive Brody King.
Amidst the chaos, Claudio Castagnoli aggressively targeted Omega's weakened midsection, a known vulnerability following Omega’s health struggles. Castagnoli executed a debilitating Gutwrench Rib Breaker, continually assaulting Omega's abdomen to exacerbate lingering injuries.
In the match’s frantic climax, Dorada shined spectacularly, executing a mesmerizing Shooting Star Press outside the ring. Back inside, Dorada attempted his finishing Dorada Screwdriver on Omega, nearly clinching victory. Castagnoli persistently attacked with powerful European uppercuts and a devastating Neutralizer on Brody King, narrowly missing championship glory due to Omega's timely intervention.
Ultimately, Kenny Omega seized victory, hitting Mascara Dorada decisively with the One-Winged Angel for the pinfall, successfully retaining the AEW International Championship in this fiercely contested match.
The victory celebration was short-lived, however, as AEW Continental Champion Kazuchika Okada emerged, confronting Omega in a moment charged with their storied rivalry. The confrontation swiftly escalated physically. Okada attacked Omega, delivering precise strikes to Omega’s vulnerable abdomen, exploiting the champion’s fatigued state. Attempting his signature Rainmaker clothesline, Okada nearly incapacitated Omega, but Omega astutely evaded, countering with a swift V-Trigger to repel Okada from the ring.
Ricochet’s Scouting Heats Up
Backstage at AEW Fyter Fest, Ricochet delivered a confident and pointed message directly to the audience, immediately setting a contemptuous tone:
"That's correct. You people at home will have the pleasure of viewing four hours of AEW because tonight is Fyter Fest."
Quickly clarifying his lack of in-ring participation for the evening, Ricochet made no effort to hide his disdain for the event's location:
"No, no, no, no, no. I will not be competing tonight. No way. Not in this crappy town."
Despite not wrestling, Ricochet explained he intended to remain highly active throughout the night, scouting potential allies for his own ambitions:
"Throughout the entire night, you will see me watching. You'll see me looking, you will see me searching for people who have all the attributes and everything that I am looking for."
Ricochet was explicit in describing the ideal type of competitor he wanted to recruit—individuals who would display unwavering loyalty:
"People who will follow, who will serve and do everything that I say to make sure that my quest for gold becomes a reality."
He concluded his statement emphatically, highlighting his own greatness and setting a clear standard for any who wished to join him:
"People who will give everything they've got to continue to show that Ricochet is out of this world."
Will Ospreay vs. Lio Rush Ends With a Save by Hangman
AEW Fyter Fest delivered a high-paced contest between Will Ospreay and Lio Rush, a match set in motion by Rush and Action Andretti’s earlier interruption. Rush showed early arrogance and remarkable quickness, immediately setting the tone. Nigel McGuinness noted, "These are two men that can move lightning quick, as fast as anyone in the job today."
The match swung dynamically, showcasing Rush’s spectacular offense, notably his precision Tope Suicida, likened by Nigel to "a missile between the lower and middle ropes." Rush further impressed with a stunning Poison Rana from the ropes and a sharp flying Frog Splash for a near fall, nearly stunning everyone in attendance.
Ospreay rallied back, exhibiting his renowned agility with a "Sky Twister Kick," and a punishing OsCutter that almost sealed the victory. However, interference from Action Andretti briefly hindered Ospreay’s momentum, though he quickly regained control by executing a gravity-defying dive onto both Andretti and Rush outside.
The thrilling bout concluded dramatically as Ospreay countered Rush’s attempted use of a chain, quickly capitalizing with a pinfall to secure the win.
Following his loss, Rush immediately attacked Ospreay alongside Andretti, unleashing a relentless double-team assault culminating in a brutal assisted neckbreaker. Nigel McGuinness observed, "While Lio Rush may have lost the match, boy, he made a statement after it."
As the attack intensified, Hangman Adam Page stormed the ring to make the timely save, nearly delivering a devastating Buckshot Lariat, forcing Rush and Andretti to retreat swiftly. Page, concerned for Ospreay, requested medical attention and shared a respectful fist bump with him, signifying mutual respect ahead of their respective upcoming battles.
Page then passionately addressed the crowd, emphasizing independence and determination regarding his upcoming championship opportunity against Jon Moxley. Page asserted, "I am my own man and I don't need help to win the world championship. Not from anyone—not even Will Ospreay, and especially not from one of the worst men to ever walk this planet."
The tension escalated further as Jon Moxley and the Death Riders (including Claudio Castagnoli, Marina Shafir, and Wheeler Yuta) appeared ominously at ringside. Yet, in a significant turn, despite Page’s declaration of self-reliance, Will Ospreay returned courageously to back him up. Tony Schiavone noted this crucial moment, emphasizing, "Hangman said, 'I will have Will’s back,' and Will’s got his right now."
As the situation grew increasingly volatile, Page and Ospreay stood united, prepared to confront Moxley and his sinister cohorts, setting a dramatic stage for further confrontations leading up to the highly anticipated All In event.
Don Callis Has a Surprise for Bandido & Outrunners
Don Callis confidently addressed a recent challenge from Adam Cole: "Adam Cole, you made a challenge. I've already accepted it. I am gonna send the Don Callis Family to take care of it."
He then ominously warned Cole: "And if you thought what almost happened to you last week with Kyle was bad, you wait till tonight, kid."
Callis quickly shifted his attention to another target, Bandido, expressing frustration over recent events:
"Because you see, Bandido, you have cost me—we, dinero—you've cost me a lot of money."
In response, Callis openly mocked Bandido and challenged him directly, along with Bandido’s allies: "So why don't you get those two morons, the Outrunners—who I hate—bring them, and I will show you problema."
He then revealed a strategic move, proudly introducing an ally he had specifically arranged for Bandido: "And I have booked just for you, Bandido, the greatest luchador in the history of the great country of Mexico, ladies and gentlemen. The great one from Mexico, the best luchador in the history of wrestling. Welcome, Hechicero."
Hechicero stepped forward, affirming his alliance simply and clearly:
"Yes, amigo."
FTR vs. Atlantis Jr. & Templario
Early on, Atlantis Jr. and Templario showcased impressive teamwork and agility, delivering synchronized thrust kicks and tandem offense, highlighted by a remarkable sequence of Tope Suicidas onto FTR at ringside.
FTR soon shifted momentum, employing their classic methodical style to isolate Templario. Cash Wheeler executed a precise Powerbomb on Templario for a close two-count. Despite facing fierce adversity, Templario fought valiantly, impressively countering with a high-impact Shotgun Dropkick.
In the thrilling climax, multiple near-falls had fans captivated. Atlantis Jr. and Templario nearly secured victory following an explosive tandem Cutter. However, the turning point came as Atlantis Jr. was brutally sent to the floor by Harwood, leaving Templario vulnerable. FTR quickly capitalized, executing their signature finishing move, the devastating Shatter Machine, to pin Templario and secure the victory.
After the match, Stokely confidently emphasized FTR's dominance, sarcastically noting their repeated victories. He boldly declared FTR as "the winningest tag team in AEW history," insisting teams worldwide inevitably "fall to FTR." Amid hostile reactions, Stokely sharply dismissed the Denver crowd, closing with the defiant statement, "Top guys out."
Protoshita (Kyle Fletcher & Konosuke Takeshita) vs. Los Outrunners (Turbo Floyd & Truth Magnum) and Bandido
AEW Fyter Fest featured a high-energy Trios contest as Kyle Fletcher, Konosuke Takeshita, and Hechicero (representing the Don Callis Family) faced off against the vibrant trio of Los Outrunners (Truth Magnum & Turbo Floyd) and Bandido.
Early exchanges saw Bandido execute an impressive Tijeras Takedown on Hechicero, showcasing his renowned agility. However, Hechicero answered with a mesmerizing submission-style offense, notably attempting a precise cross armbreaker.
Mid-match momentum swung with thrilling aerial maneuvers. Turbo Floyd executed a spectacular top-rope walking dive onto opponents at ringside. Bandido and Los Outrunners briefly dominated with double-team attacks, highlighted by Bandido's swift Frog Splash that nearly secured a victory.
The intense closing moments saw rapid exchanges and near falls. Kyle Fletcher dramatically countered Bandido with a pinpoint-accurate kick to the back of the head, decisively shifting the match. Fletcher then executed his punishing Brainbuster to pin Bandido and secure a significant win for his team.
Tay Melo Returns to Defend Anna Jay from Megan Bayne
Tensions escalated as Megan Bayne and Penelope Ford viciously attacked Anna Jay. Penelope Ford taunted Anna Jay, coldly saying, "Anna Jay, you saw what happened to your little friend Harley. You should have just bowed down." Anna Jay, defenseless, was overwhelmed as Ford appeared to relish her suffering, given their long-standing animosity.
The chaos took a shocking turn when Tay Melo made a dramatic return, storming in fiercely to defend Anna Jay just before Bayne could toss her off of the ring ramp. With visible intensity and determination—described by Tony Schiavone as having "war paint on and everything"—Melo successfully drove off Bayne and Ford, saving Anna Jay from further harm and drastically altering the dynamics of their ongoing rivalry.
Anthony Bowens Calls Out Kyle Fletcher
Anthony Bowens and Billy Gunn enthusiastically joined Lexy Nair to share some exciting news. Bowens eagerly announced: "I have two very, very special announcements because I would like to declare first that this month is officially the Pride of Pro Wrestling Month."
Billy Gunn quickly responded with excitement, stating simply, "Yes, I love it."
Bowens then continued to build anticipation:
"And number two, I feel like we need to have a month that's full of big moments, spectacular moments, even joy. There's a specific person that knows a big moment or two, a guy that's reinvented himself, a guy that's turned himself into a protostar. So I think it would be a fantastic idea that next week at Summer Blockbuster that I whip Kyle Fletcher's Fletcher, all over Portland."
Bowens wrapped up with fiery confidence, addressing Fletcher directly:
"See Kyle, strap up because you are gonna get ready to get your ass beat by the five-tool player. Don't believe me? Well, I've got five tools and one rule: prove them wrong."
ROH World Television Title Match: Nick Wayne vs. Sammy Guevara vs. Lee Johnson vs. AR Fox
AEW Fyter Fest delivered a fast-paced, action-packed 4-Way match for the Ring of Honor World Television Championship, featuring champion Nick Wayne defending against Sammy Guevara, Lee Johnson, and AR Fox.
The contest was filled with impressive aerial offense, including AR Fox's remarkable dive to the outside, described by Tony Schiavone as "unbelievable hang time." Sammy Guevara responded with consecutive dives, displaying his athleticism through a battering ram-like dive onto Fox.
Lee Johnson showcased remarkable agility, hitting a fluid dive onto his opponents, while later delivering a sharp DDT from the ropes to AR Fox. Fox continued to impress, performing a swift dragon suplex and a dynamic sequence of high-risk aerial attacks.
The pivotal moment came when AR Fox ascended to the top rope, preparing for a decisive aerial move. However, Christian Cage and Nick Wayne's mother distracted Fox, allowing Nick Wayne to capitalize. Wayne quickly delivered a precise spin kick to Fox’s head from the top rope, stunning him. Wayne then decisively executed the Pain Driver, securing the pinfall and successfully retaining his ROH World Television Championship.
Thekla Makes Her AEW In-Ring Debut vs. Lady Frost
AEW Fyter Fest saw the highly anticipated AEW debut of "The Toxic Spider" Thekla as she faced off against the skilled Lady Frost. From the opening bell, Thekla showed aggressive intensity, immediately taking control with a swift kick to Frost’s head and innovative offense, described by Tony Schiavone as "lying in a web" when she cleverly avoided Frost by hanging in the ropes.
Lady Frost attempted a comeback with strong forearm shots, but Thekla quickly regained dominance. She secured her finishing submission hold, the Death Trap, forcing Lady Frost to submit and securing a decisive victory in her AEW debut.
After the match, Thekla continued her assault, viciously pulling at Frost's mouth and face in a brutal display. However, her relentless attack was halted by Queen Aminata, whose presence immediately backed Thekla off. With a defiant smile, Thekla retreated, clearly unfazed and satisfied with her impactful debut and confrontational introduction to AEW.
