AEW presented their second pay-per-view since the launch of the company, which was considered to be one of their low-level events. Whilst Double or Nothing set the scene and showcased that AEW had arrived in the wrestling world, Fyter Fest was their follow up pay-per-view but it didn't include the likes of Chris Jericho or Dustin Rhodes and saw Kenny Omega move from the main event back to the mid-card to team with The Young Bucks.

It was a fantastic night of entertainment that allowed Jon Moxley to make his in-ring debut for the company and unleash his dark side as part of a non-sanctioned match against Joey Janela, but whilst there were so many stand out moments, there were many more moments that didn't go as planned but make for interesting watching as part of replays.


#5 The triple threat women's match

In the latest WWE NEWS, Nyla Rose took on Riho and Yuka Sakazaki in a triple threat match last night at Fyter Fest, but it wasn't the match that many fans had expected. Of course, the two smaller women looked to chop down Rose since she was the much bigger threat, but as she threw the two Japanese stars around the ring, there were a number of interesting botches.

Riho's attempt at a roll-up didn't fully work out before Yuka's headscissors seemingly didn't get all of Nyla Rose because she wasn't able to roll through them without making it look really botchy. One of the biggest came when Rose had both women locked in a Camel Clutch and in a triple threat match the referee told Rose to break the hold when Riho got her foot on the ropes, but this wasn't the only incidence of this as part of the show.

#4 Rope breaks in multi-person matches

There were two multi-person matches last night at Fyter Fest and it appears that the company is playing to their own rules when it comes to rope breaks. It's unclear if the company has decided that there can still be rope breaks in triple threat and fatal four-way matches since both of the matches last night had rope breaks despite the fact that there are no disqualifications in the matches.

The point of rope breaks is that if a wrestler doesn't break the hold then they will be disqualified, something that doesn't work in multi-person matches since there are more than two people in the ring. Nyla Rose broke her Camel Clutch when Riho made it to the ropes before Hangman Adam Page broke his submission on Jimmy Havoc when he made it to the ropes as well, something that both heels didn't need to do.

#3 Blading gone wrong

Cody Rhodes had an absolutely stunning match with Darby Allin last night at Fyter Fest, but interestingly the match isn't the talking point on Social Media this morning because the fact that Cody Rhodes took an unprotected chair shot seems to have bothered fans so much more.

The chair shot would have been enough to cause some controversy since it was to the side of his head, a move that has been banned in WWE for a number of years. Rhodes went on to blade after the shot to make it much worse than it was but he bladed on the side that the chair didn't hit, which made it even more obvious that he had done it to himself. The video below clearly shows that the chair makes an impact with his left side, but he bleeds on his right.

#2 What was that kick?

There were two women's matches as part of Fyter Fest, but whilst the women's triple threat has already been mentioned as part of this article, Leva Bates and Allie were moved to the kick-off show and it's been made clear why that was the best decision.

There were a number of botches throughout the match, with the two women unable to deliver a regular pedigree at one point, but the issue was the fact that the finish of the match was so shocking. Leva put her hand up and actually caught the superkick before bumping it and staying down for the three count. Bates is a former WWE Superstar whilst Allie made a name for herself in Impact Wrestling and many fans expected much better from both women since they had promised so much ahead of their showdown.

#1 Slippy Ropes

One of the matches of the night was definitely The Elite vs The Lucha Bros and Loredo Kid, but because of the fast-paced nature of the match, there was always going to be room for botches and sadly it was Nick Jackson who was at fault for both botches.

Near the end of the bout, the pace quickened and Jackson ran in for a neckbreaker on Fenix but it didn't appear that he was ready for the move and was too close to the ropes. He later had to climb the ropes and luckily had support behind him since he slipped and had to find his footing before he could climb to the top without assistance. These small botches didn't take away from what was a fantastic match that proved that The Elite will be a force to be reckoned with in AEW.
