In the main event of this week's AEW Dynamite: Fyter Fest Night 2, Lance Archer captured the IWGP United States Heavyweight Championship once again. The Murderhawk Monster will now put his title on the line against Bullet Club star Hikuleo next week at Fight for the Fallen.
On Fyter Fest Night 2, Lance Archer overcame the resilient champion Jon Moxley and put him through a couple of barbed wire tables in the final stages of the match. After The Death Rider failed to respond to the referee's 10-count, Archer was declared the winner, as he won the Texas Death Match rematch.
Having already lost to Moxley at Wrestle Kingdom 14, Archer headed into Fyter Fest as the underdog but proved his doubters wrong with an incredible victory. After the win, the new champion was confronted in the ring by Hikuleo, who was spotted in the crowd earlier in the night.
