AEW Fight for the Fallen has come and gone. The show was generally well-received by wrestling fans and critics alike. There were some hiccups with the closed captioning portion and some streaming issues with FiteTV, but those seemed to have been taken care of rather quickly.

The show was for a good cause, as AEW was able to raise approximately $150,000.00 for victims of gun violence. The action was solid as to be expected. We were treated to some amazing wrestling action and the crowd seemed to have a lot of fun.

Without any further ado, let's see how fans, journalists, critics, and wrestlers reacted on Twitter, shall we?

Hilarious comment by Stephen Smith, as his wife compared Chris Jericho to Kid Rock if he were stung by bees.
