While a lot of the talking points coming out of Fyter Fest involved the unprotected chair shot that Cody Rhodes took as well as Jon Moxley and Kenny Omega continuing their build to All Out, there were also other shots fired in some form or fashion.
Matches that were already planned did get some focus, like Allie facing Brandi Rhodes and Omega facing Cima at Fight for the Fallen. But while those matches are already in the cards, it doesn't mean that wrestling promotions don't plan months in advance with some of their planning of programs between stars.
Since All Out is next month, Adam Page needs to be kept busy until he squares off with Chris Jericho for the right to become the inaugural All Elite Wrestling Heavyweight Champion. Page will next be facing Kip Sabian at Fight for the Fallen as Sabian was on commentary during the four-person match won by Page.
With the next show less than two weeks away, even more feuds will likely be teased as AEW builds to All Out. Stars like Jungle Boy, Darby Allin, MJF and many of the tag teams will likely have matches on the card. But will they be announced matches or ones created from feuds alluded to at Fyter Fest? Here were three such feuds that were teased at the show.
#3 Cody Rhodes vs. Shawn Spears
The most blatant feud that was teased for the future was obviously the chair shot from Shawn Spears to Cody as he literally called his shot with the chair blast. After Rhodes battled Darby Allin to a time-limit draw, Spears rushed the cage with Cody's back turned and before he could say 'hi', Spears blasted him in the head with the chair.
Spears was primarily a face while in WWE but it looks like he's going to get a chance to tap into his dark side. It might be something that he wanted to do while in WWE but never got the green light to do so.
Until the weekly show starts, outside of liking particular wrestlers, it's a little hard to define every Superstar that is a heel and every one that is a face. MJF and Jericho are likely heels as is the Dark Order. Spears seems like he'll fall to that side, but after that, who knows.
Whether the two will face off at All Out or before then is up for debate. Rhodes is set to team with his brother against the Young Bucks at Fight for the Fallen, so All Out seems like a good bet.
#2 Best Friends vs. the Dark Order
The duo of Trent Barreta and Chuck Taylor has had two matches at the first of AEW's two shows. They won both and might be positioned as either the promotion's first tag team champs or a team that will be in the match for the belts.
After Barreta and Taylor defeated Angelico and Jack Evans at Double or Nothing, both teams were attacked by a mysterious team flanked by many masked men. In the following days, it was revealed to the world that the new team was known as the Dark Order.
They called out the rest of the teams in AEW in the build to Fyter Fest but they did not have a match booked for the event. But after Best Friends won the Triple Threat match with SCU and Private Party, the Dark Order made their presence felt once again.
As Barreta and Taylor celebrated their win in the ring, the Dark Order appeared on the big screen and said that their quest was starting with the team in AEW that was now 2-0. The arena went black once and the minions surrounded it. Things went black again and the minions were gone. It's apparent that these two teams will be facing off in the near future.
#1 MJF vs. Hangman Page
Before and during the four-man match at Fyter Fest, it was apparent that two men could win the match and two men were in the match to take the pin. The two most logical winners were MJF and Adam Page. Page is in the title match at All Out, so he wasn't going to lose. And MJF is one of the best mic workers and heels in the company so neither of them were going to lose.
The two men did square off and literally stood with their faces pressed against each other at one point in the match. It is something that is usually done in multi-man matches to tease things for the future. After Page picked up the win, MJF almost came back into the ring to confront him. He decided against it and walked away.
Friedman then did his usual blasting of his enemies in the post-show scrum, including Page. Because both men are being positioned as top young stars in the company, neither man will take many pin-falls.
The two encounters both during and after the match were also a piece of foreshadowing. The two men will face off against each other at some point this year and it will be with the AEW World Title on the line after Page likely tops Jericho at All Out.
