Sometimes we gently tease AEW about its themed episodes of Dynamite or the naming of one in particular, Fyter Fest. But gentle reader, this is not one of those times, because the card for Week 1 of this annual event looks pretty darn good to us.
For starters, there’s a three-way tag team title match between reigning champs the Young Bucks and two challenging duos: Swerve in Our Glory (Keith Lee and Swerve Strickland), and Powerhouse Hobbs and Ricky Starks. Not only can all of these gentlemen absolutely go between the ropes, but there’s some additional drama between the challengers that’s been building for some time.
Another title match has raised some eyebrows since it’s between two fan favorites. Wardlow made good on his vow to capture the TNT Championship, but he now has to defend it right away against the always over Orange Cassidy. If there were going to be hijinks on this week’s show, this figures to be the match where they’ll go down.
Prefer just to see two really tough guys go toe to toe? Fyter Fest has you covered there as well, as Claudio Castagnoli gets another stiff early test in his AEW tenure from Jake Hager. And speaking of toughness, Serena Deeb has that in spades, as Anna Jay may find out to her detriment.
Anyway, there’s plenty of fyting in store tonight, and … sorry, now AEW has us doing it even though that’s totally not even a real word.
