AEW Fyter Fest Preview: Moxley in huge stipulation match, Unexpected addition to triple threat bout? (June 29th 2019)

It's time for AEW Fyter Fest tonight! After an incredible debut PPV Double or Nothing, All Elite Wrestling looks to continue their momentum with their first free show. You read that right, it's absolutely free to watch!

You might be wondering when they come on PPV next. The answer to that is in late August, as they get ready for their second PPV - ALL OUT. ALL OUT has already sold out, taking a whopping 15 minutes. According to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, the demand for tickets for ALL OUT was actually higher than it was for WrestleMania 35.

So imagine that. AEW could have sold out a baseball stadium or come close to that with the demand that they had. Either way, there's clearly a lot of hype for AEW, but there has been a relative lack of it for Fyter Fest.

Granted, the same level of effort hasn't gone in towards promoting it, but either way, it's going to be a fun show. The card is obviously not as stacked as Double or Nothing or won't be as stacked as ALL OUT will be, but since those are PPVs, this is only to be expected.

Here is a relatively short guide about AEW Fyter Fest and what to look forward to in their first free event. The "pre-show" matches include the following:

Michael Nakazawa vs Alex Jebailey

Kylie Ray vs Leva Bates

Best Friends vs SoCal Uncensored vs Private Party (Winner gets a first-round bye in AEW Tag Team title tournament at ALL OUT)

#6. Christopher Daniels vs CIMA

At Double or Nothing, Daniels had a confrontation with his Michinoku Pro mentor CIMA. This is a match that doesn't have too much hype to it but watch out, because it could legitimately steal the show.

This is a battle of two experienced veterans. Expect only the very best.

#5. Yuka Sakazaki vs Riho vs Nyla Rose

Double or Nothing clearly established that AEW are very serious about pushing and promoting the women. Riho and Yuka Sazaki found themselves on opposing teams at AEW Double or Nothing, where Riho's team ended up winning.

As for Nyla Rose, she was a part of a Triple Threat match that became a Fatal-Four-Way thanks to Brandi Rhodes adding Awesome Kong to the match. Dr. Britt Baker did still end up winning, but Nyla Rose proved to be a force to be reckoned with.

Don't be surprised if Brandi Rhodes makes another unexpected addition to the match just to spice things up. As of now, Nyla Rose is the favourite in the match, but the young Joshi superstars are not to be taken lightly. Riho is a 13-year veteran, even at the young age of 22. Watch out for this one!

#4. Cody vs Darby Allin

Not many people know about Darby Allin, but believe us when we say that he is a force to be reckoned with. So here's the story of the match. As you know, Cody Rhodes had an all-out WAR against Dustin Rhodes at AEW Double or Nothing 2019.

It was easily the best match of both men's careers and Cody managed to escape with a narrow but well-earned victory. He faces the up-and-coming star, Darby Allin. Half his face is painted because he really feels he's half dead inside.

Since Cody is at the stage he's at now, is there much of an incentive for him to take on a young and hungry superstar? After all, Cody has everything to lose while Allin has nothing to lose.

Will we see the younger star cause an upset or will the veteran Cody stop him in his tracks?

#3. Adam Page vs Jimmy Havoc vs Jungle Boy vs MJF

When was the last time you remember seeing a bad fatal-4-way match in wrestling? When there are multiple good superstars in the ring, it's hard to fail and we fully expect this to be the match of the night.

While it's a rather predictable one, that shouldn't make it any less exciting. Adam "Hangman" Page is the central figure in this Fatal-4-Way match. He's the #1 contender to the AEW World Heavyweight Championship and will be taking on Chris Jericho (presumably at ALL OUT) to crown the first champion.

In this match, he takes on 3 hot up-and-coming stars - Jungle Boy, Jimmy Havoc and MJF. MJF has clearly made it his objective to be as hated as possible and he felt the wrath from Jungle Boy and Jimmy Havoc at Double or Nothing. Hangman Page is obviously expected to win, unless there's a big swerve happening.

#2. The Lucha Bros (Pentagon Jr. & Fenix) & Laredo Kid vs The Elite (The Young Bucks & Kenny Omega)

While the Fatal-4-Way could end up stealing the show, this six-man tag team match is fully expected to do that. The Young Bucks faced The Lucha Bros at Double or Nothing and defeated them, while Kenny Omega faced Pentagon Jr. at ALL IN last year (and defeated him as well).

There isn't too much known about Laredo Kid, which is why he could low-key end up stealing the show and catching people's attention. There are obviously going to be a lot of eyes on this match because it's going to be chaotic from start to finish.

The Young Bucks and Kenny Omega are obviously among the poster boys of AEW which is why they're expected to win. But given the level of Pentagon and Fenix, don't place your bets on The Elite just yet!

#1. Jon Moxley vs Joey Janela - Non-sanctioned match

This is the match that people are most looking forward to and it could be the main event, though it won't be surprising to see AEW go with The Elite as the main event.

Jon Moxley makes his AEW in-ring debut at Fyter Fest 2019 when he takes on The Bad Boy Joey Janela. It was announced late on that the stipulation of the match is a non-sanctioned one.

One can only imagine how exciting this is going to be. As we know, Moxley plays very well and dirty when there are no rules applied and Joey Janela knows how to dish out punishment as well as take it. With a big match against Kenny Omega around two months away, Moxley is going to do all he can to make sure that he keeps his momentum alive via a win over Janela.
