AEW Fight For The Fallen Results: Jericho bloodies AEW star, Main-event ends with emotional moment


#5 Showcase of the tag-team division

Cody and The Young Bucks have said that All Elite Wrestling will be a showcase of tag-team wrestling and Fight For The Fallen definitely did just that. Apart from the main event, we saw two incredible 6-man tag matches as well as The Lucha Bros taking on SCU.

The main card started with MJF, Shawn Spears and Sammy Guevara taking on Jimmy Havoc, Darby Allin and Joey Janela. Darby Allin and Sammy Guevara were especially impressive in the match with their lightning-quick, high-intensity offence. You have to hand it to Shawn Spears also, who picked up the win for his team.

Luchasaurus and Jungle Boy showed by they are fan favourites during their match, even though it was The Dark Order who got the win in the end.

As for the Lucha Brothers and SCU, they took it to another level. After the Lucha Brothers won, they challenged The Young Bucks to a ladder match at All Out. That should be another incredible tag-team match. We'll see how WWE reply at Extreme Rules.


#4 Aja Kong and Awesome Kong

Awesome Kong showed up once again at Fight For The Fallen as Brandi Rhodes' muscle. She played her part in Brandi beating Allie.

As Kong went to powerbomb Allie after the match, Japanse legend Aja Kong came out. As Aja Kong and Awesome Kong faced off, they were kept apart and teased a dream match between them in the future.

#3 Omega and CIMA put on a show

Kenny Omega picked up the first singles win of his AEW career against CIMA. The match itself was very competitive and showcased the abilities of both men. It was definitely one of the best matches of the night and once again, Kenny Omega showed the world why he's one of the best in the world.


#2 Building the Jericho and Hangman Page feud

AEW did a fantastic job on this show to build up the feud between Chris Jericho and Hangman Page. It started with Jericho attacking Page after his match against Kip Sabian, leaving Page a bloody mess.

Jericho then called out Page during his promo, saying that it could be the beginning of the end for AEW if he lost to someone like Hangman Page.

The promo segment ended with Page attacking Jericho and a number of officials and wrestlers getting involved to break the two apart.

#1 The main event

The main event of All Elite Wrestling's Fight For The Fallen show saw Cody and Dustin Rhodes team up to face The Young Bucks. Although the match started with a handshake between Cody and Nick Jackson, things got a lot more heated.

The Jacksons continued to mock Cody and Dustin Rhodes throughout the match to build heat. The match also saw incredible performances from all 4 men, especially Dustin Rhodes who rolled back the years - hitting a Canadian Destroyer at one point and even leaping off the apron to hit a rolling senton.

The match was eventually won by the Bucks and was a contender for the match of the night - AEW showing us once again how good tag team wrestling can be when done right.

The match ended with a show of respect between The Young Bucks and the Rhodes brothers. Another home run of a main event from AEW.
