AEW Fight For The Fallen: 3 fantastic botches you missed at the pay-per-view

AEW presented their first live charity pay-per-view, Fight For The Fallen, from Jacksonville, Florida last night and boasted a fantastic set up for an arena show. The card was absolutely stacked despite a few missing faces and the fact that Chris Jericho didn't actually compete in a match.

AEW presents AEW All Out in just over a month's time where many of their current storylines will come to a head, which is why the likes of Chris Jericho and Hangman Page had to set up their future match, whilst Kenny Omega and Jon Moxley already put down the foundations to their feud last month at Fyter Fest.

Whilst all of this was going on last night, there were still a number of interesting botches, including one of the most hilarious mistakes that has ever happened in a wrestling ring.


#3 That Women's Match

Brandi Rhodes made her in-ring debut last night for AEW in her first wrestling match since December 2018 as she took on Allie, but needed assistance from Awesome Kong at ringside. Allie has already proven her worth in with a win over Leva Bates at Fyter Fest, but this time around the match seemingly didn't go to plan.

Rhodes moves all seemed a little awkward throughout and this only got worse as the match progressed. Allie had to work hard to make Brandi look good throughout the match before she delivered what she calls The Bionic Spear. This is Brandi's finisher and as seen from the video below, Brandi nearly runs to execute it too early since Allie isn't turned around before she then hits what can only be called a running shoulder tackle and the commentary team attempting to cover the botch by calling it a spear.

#2 Chris Jericho's Codebreaker

Chris Jericho and Hangman Page collide next month as part of AEW All Out to determine the first AEW Champion, but this month Page was in a match against Kip Sabian where he needed to gain some momentum. After the match, Page was obviously exhausted when a masked figure ran into the ring and attacked him, the figure was obviously Chris Jericho, who went on to deliver a Codebreaker followed by The Judas Effect.

Page was left bloodied after the Codebreaker since it can be seen when watched in slow motion that Jericho botched the move and knee'd Page straight in the eye. The move was so stiff that Page's eye was turning purple as he lay in the ring following the assault, but Jericho went on to unmask himself and deliver The Judas Effect elbow for good measure.

#1 How do you tag the wrong partner?

Tag Team Wrestling has been a solid part of the business for a number of years, but never in my lifetime have I ever seen a superstar attempt to tag in the wrong partner. As part of last night's Fight for the Fallen event, Britt Baker teamed with Riho against Bea Priestley and Shoko Nakajima, but the match all seemed to go wrong when Baker finally reached the point where she wanted to tag out.

Baker controlled the match with both Nakajima and Priestley, but then headed over to the wrong corner and looked to tag in Nakajima instead of Riho. Baker can be seen audibly shouting "wrong corner" as the commentary team laugh about the botch before they try to find excuses for it and settle on the fact that it's because the two women are wearing the same color ring attire.
