AEW Fyter Fest Night 1 was exactly as advertised! It was a packed lineup, in front of a packed crowd and the arena was packed with excitement, making for a great night of action.

Honestly, there's little to complain about when it comes to AEW Fyter Fest Night 1 and it's great to see the company firing on all cylinders. If you're going to watch the show based on this review, rest assured that it's well worth watching.

So, what worked at AEW Fyter Fest Night 1, and what were the aspects that may need some work? We have shared our opinion in this article and we invite you to share your thoughts in the comments below.


#3 Best/Worst: A major match is made during an AEW Fyter Fest Night 1 backstage segment

The backstage segment between Chris Jericho, Shawn Spears, and MJF that aired during AEW Fyter Fest Night 1 was honestly a lot of fun. It will be interesting to see what the labors of Jericho are, in the weeks that follow. What wasn't a lot of fun is that despite the fact that he is at an advantage, Spears is likely to eat the pin.

Chris Jericho is definitely going to win the upcoming match despite the fact that Shawn Spears will be using a chair to advance the storyline. Sure, it ensures that Spears is in a featured storyline, but is it really a step up for him from what he used to do in WWE? He really hasn't had the dream run we wanted when he first signed with the company.

What do you think the other trials will be? Let us know in the comments section below. Do you think a surprise name could show up to challenge Chris Jericho next?

#2 Best: The AEW Fyter Fest Night 1 main event match

The AEW Fyter Fest Night 1 main event was just about perfect in every way possible. There was even a surprise element of Scorpio Sky stepping out from the coffin to begin proceedings. And the fact that Sting showed up to even the numbers got a huge pop.

Of course, the final spot where Darby Allin went through the coffin just made things that much sweeter.

Darby Allin is the next big thing in pro wrestling and one just can't wait to see where he goes from here!


#2 Best/Worst: The veterans were just a touch slower

Two former WWE veterans - Christian Cage and Matt Hardy - slugged it out at AEW Fyter Fest Night 1 and the match was just about alright.

Somehow, at a show which moves at a million miles an hour from start to finish, a change of pace stands out like a sore thumb.

That said, we can't take anything away from these two men who put on a great performance.

#1 Best: The ultimate AEW Fyter Fest Night 1 brawl

What happened at AEW Fyter Fest Night 1 between Cody Rhodes and Malakai Black was absolutely awesome. The two men feel like legitimate stars and their upcoming match should certainly be one for the ages.

There is no goofiness, no comedy when it comes to these two men. One man was out to prove a point by taking down the franchise player and another, enraged at his mentor getting kicked in the face, brawling it out at AEW Fyter Fest Night 1! We loved every second.


#1 Worst: Yuka Sakazaki's return did not do much

Yuka Sakazaki made her big return at AEW Fyter Fest night 1, taking on Penelope Ford, but somehow there was something missing in this particular match. Maybe it was the clash of styles or the lack of chemistry, but honestly, things did not quite come together on this occasion.

Thunder Rosa and Serena Deeb have just raised the bar quite significantly with their performances. That's the caliber of matches fans expect these days!

What makes Sting special? His first AEW opponent opens up RIGHT HERE.
