This was also the second year in a row Kenny Omega teamed up with the gaming company for a major wrestling show.
That being said, here are the results from tonight's AEW: Fyter Fest show.

AEW Fyter Fest Pre-Show Results:
Best Friends vs SCU vs Private Party
This match had a lot at stake, as the winners of the contest would earn themselves a first-round shot at the AEW Tag Team Championship tournament at All Out. The match started off with Best Friends dominating, with Chuck Taylor notably stealing the show in the early stages.
However, it was the Private Party who got the first near fall of the match with Marq Queen hitting a Shooting Star Press. SCU also had their moments in the match, so much so, that Scorpio Sky and Frankie Kazarian also got several "SCU" chants from the audience.
Regardless, it was the Best Friends who eventually took advantage of the situation, as Queen and SCU were all knocked outside of the ring and Chuckie T and Trent hit the Strong Zero to secure their second win in AEW.
Following the conclusion of the match, the lights went off and the Dark Order surrounded the ring but the lights went off once again and they were all gone.
Results: Best Friends def. SCU and Private Party
Allie vs Leva Bates
Leva Bates' was initially advertised for a match aagainst Kylie Rae, however, for her debut match Bates instead found herself facing off against another debuting star in the form of Allie. Bates and Peter Avalon continued their dual librarian shtick, as the two kept shushing the audience.
The two women started off in a relatively slow pace with Avalon trying to help Bates win but all he did was cause distractions. Avalon also threw a book into the ring as a foreign object, Allie caught it instead and threw it to Bates, who was then caught with a superkick as it allowed Allie to pick up the win.
Results: Allie def. Leva Bates
Michael Nakazawa vs Alex Jebailey (Hardcore Match)
Despite the added stipulation to this match, this contest certainly didn't live up to its expectations in terms of being a hardcore match, given that both men are basically a comedy act.
Nevertheless, credit to the two for putting up a solid outing in what was the final contest of the Pre-Show. Being the amateur, Jebailey certainly did well throughout the match and credit to him for also taking a huge spear from Nakazawa off the ring apron and into a table on the outside.
Nakazawa, meanwhile, took a nasty German Suplex bump on the top of his head but was seemingly okay. Jebailey went ahead and put some lego on the canvas, however, Nakazawa instead managed to reverse the offense and got the win.
Results: Michael Nakazawa def. Alexa Jebailey
Fyter Fest Main Card Results
Prior to the start of the first main card match of the evening, Jon Moxley appeared on the main screen and cut a promo claiming that he is going to show everyone what he's truly capable of.
CIMA vs Christopher Daniels
The match started off in quick fashion only for Daniels to slow down the pace a bit. Being two veterans of the business, both Daniels and CIMA clicked pretty well with each other and the two men certainly had some solid back-and-forth action between each other as well.
Daniels, for one, also came close to winning, as he hit a slam and an STO for a two count as “Fallen Angel” chants broke out. Daniels then hit a suplex on Cima before hitting an Arabian moonsault into a crossface.
CIMA, however, hit Daniels with a hanging backbreaker, powerbomb off the top rope and a Meteora for the victory and started off the show with a solid opening match.
Results: CIMA def. Christopher Daniels
Riho vs Nyla Rose vs Yuka Sakazaki
Heading into this match, Nyla Rose completely took advantage of her size, as she slammed around both Riho and Yuka in the early stages of the match. However, the two eventually teamed up in order to take Rose down but the latter was a bit too much to cope up with. Rose eventually hit a double splash for a two count and then followed it up with a double suplex on both.
Yuka, however, fought back into the match and caught Rose with a 619 bringing the fight to her in the process. Rose eventually caught Yuka for a side slam but could only keep the latter down for a two-count. Rose was pretty much dominating the match at this point but Yuka provided enough distractions to slow the former down.
Riho and Yuka both climbed to the top rope to splash Rose, but she caught both competitors, who pulled her down and got another near fall on a double pinfall attempt. Eventually it was Riho who rolled up Rose with a single-leg cradle to pick up a surprise win.
Results: Riho def. Nyla Rose and Yuka Sakazaki
Hangman Page vs MJF vs Jungle Boy vs Jimmy Havoc
Hangman Page and Jungle Boy received some lovely reactions from the crowd, whereas, MJF, as usual, got major heat with the fans whom he called "nerds". After having a heated confrontation at DoN, MJF and Page went head-to-head with each other in the match, as MJF targeted Page's injured left knee.
Shortly after, MJF was about to lock in the Sharpshooter on Page, but the latter reversed and applied the same move instead. MJF hit a Heatseeker on Page, only for Jungle Boy to break the count. Page then looked to connect the Buckshot Lariat on MJF but instead hit Havoc after MJF had moved out of the way.
Capitalizing on the situation, Page hit Havoc with the Dead Eye for the win. Huge win for 'The Hangman' ahead of his AEW World Title match against Chris Jericho at ALL OUT.
Results: Hangman Page def. MJF, Jungle Boy, and Jimmy Havoc
Cody Rhodes vs Darby Allin
This was Darby Allin's debut match for AEW and he was all set to put a show, which he rightfully did. Allin, as usual, was athletic and quick throughout the match, which otherwise was a bit slow and felt boring at times due to the lack of proper storytelling.
Cody generally showcased his aggressive side throughout the match and dominated the early stages, until Allin hit a springboard tornado and a dive through the ropes, for which Cody had a counter in store for.
After a bit back-and-forth between the two, Cody zipped Allin in a body bag that the latter had brought with him to the ring, as 'The American Nightmare' hit a Disaster Kick with Allin still inside the body bag. Cody then battered Allin with his weight belt and hit a Cross Rhodes but couldn't get the win as time ran out just as the ref had counted till two.
Results: Time Limit Draw
After the match, Shawn Spears blindsided Cody with a Steel Chair and set his sights on Brandi, only for the ref to intervene. MJF and SCU came to Cody's aid, as Spears exited through the audience.
The Elite vs Laredo Kid and The Lucha Brothers
All three members of The Elite came out repping Street Fighter clothes, as we had a hot start to the match with the Lucha team hitting a double superkick into a huricanrana. Matt Jackson then followed up with hit three northern lights suplexes that got the crowd going. Laredo Kid, who was making his AEW debut, hit an outstanding tope suicida through the legs of Penta El Zero M, who was stretching the ropes open.
Both teams had some outstanding, fast-paced exchanges with Omega hitting all three men snapdragon suplexes to slow down the opposing team. However, the Lucha Bros quickly got back into the match when Penta threw Fenix over the ring post into Nick Jackson. All six men then traded superkicks and The Elite hit a Triple Powerbomb on all three men.
Fenix hit a cutter on Omega but Nick instead hit a reverse cutter on him, as Fenix was busy celebrating. Matt then picked up Penta outside the ring for a Meltzer Driver, but Fenix stopped Nick's hesitated attempt by leaping a Spanish fly off the top rope onto the duo.
Meanwhile, back in the ring, Omega hit a Tiger Driver 98 on Laredo Kid for a close fall and eventually got the win as he followed up with a One-Winged Angel.
Results: The Elite def. Laredo Kid and The Lucha Brothers
Jon Moxley vs Joey Janela (Unsanctioned Match)
This match was both Joey Janela and Jon Moxley's in-ring debut for All Elite Wrestling and this one certainly did live up to all the hype that was around it.
The first major spot came as Moxley avoided a senton by Janela, which resulted in Jalena hitting the move onto a chair. The next big spot was a Russian leg sweep from Moxley to the outside of the ring into a chair outside; the IWGP US Champion then followed by driving Janela spine first into another table which was set into the corner.
On the other corner, a barbed wire board was put as two tables were setup next to each other at ringside with Moxley being thrown into the former, as Janela soon set a ladder in the ring and hit an elbow drop to Moxley through the tables.
Janela set up another barbed wire board between the ring apron and the barricade but on this occasion, it didn't turn out too well for him as Moxley put him through it via a death valley bomb. Mox then poured thumbtacks into the ring and pulled off the boots and socks of Janela, exposing his bare feet.
In what was one of the sickest spots of the match, Moxley then hit Janela into the tacks and dropped him foot first onto it and eventually hit the Paradigm Shift for the victory.
Result: Jon Moxley def. Joey Janela
After the match, Kenny Omega got some retribution on Moxley and brutally attacked him ahead of their singles match at ALL OUT.
