AEW: Fight for the Fallen

All Elite Wrestling is just days away from their third event, Fight for the Fallen in Jacksonville. Although the card isn't as long as other events, every single match has something different, and very exciting to offer. On top of all these great matches, we've also got a segment from Chris Jericho, and given that this is the final event before All Out in August, they will be doing everything to set up their biggest card so far.

With several dream matches and some promising singles bouts, this is shaping up to be a great card. Given what a fantastic cause this event is for, everyone should be tuning in on Saturday night.

So without further ado, sit back and read along as we look to July 13 and try to pick the winners from the current card for All Elite Wrestling's Fight for the Fallen.


#6 Kip Sabian vs 'Hangman' Adam Page

Ever since the announcement of AEW, it's been clear that Hangman is their next big thing but Kip Sabian, with his combination of looks, skill and character will surprise quite a few people. A victory here would do wonders for the career of SuperBad, but simply put, there's no way Hangman is coming up short, especially as this is the last event before he challenges Chris Jericho for the AEW World Championship.

Speaking of Jericho, he has been announced for Fight for the Fallen, and it's very safe to say that the legend will make his presence known in some way throughout this match. Ultimately, Hangman is going to come out on top here, but AEW is looking to create new stars, and with a good, hard-fought performance, Sabian will be en route to becoming a big star.

Pick: Kip Sabian takes Hangman to the limit, but comes up short.

#5 Allie vs Brandi Rhodes

When Allie was announced as an AEW talent, Brandi Rhodes began her backstage politicking (well, not backstage, as it played out on BTE), but that all changed in this past week. On the latest 'Road to Fight for the Fallen', Brandi opened up about her past as a figure skater, and how she often froze on the biggest stages.

While it was easy to dislike Brandi before, due to the constant talk behind everyone's back, but after the emotional promo on 'Road to', the entire crowd in Jacksonville will be willing her on. AEW would be wise to play off of this, and a more aggressive, perhaps heel Allie would help get the crowd further behind the CBO.

This would be a great way to build Brandi for the future as an underdog babyface, or even help build to a big heel turn in the future, but for all that to work, Brandi needs to come up short here, and that's what we predict.

Pick: Allie takes advantage of Brandi's trepidation.

#4 Kenny Omega vs CIMA

It's clear that Kenny Omega is one of AEW's biggest stars, but CIMA is slowly rising the ranks, and a great performance here from the Japanese veteran will be huge for him going forward.

Given Kenny's current motivation to build for his bout against Jon Moxley, it's highly unlikely that CIMA will have a serious shot, but after beating Daniels at Fyter Fest, anything is possible here.

Given CIMA's connections to OWE, it's likely that some of them will come alongside him, and that could give him an edge, but there's few better in the world than The Cleaner, and he'll prove that again on this night. AEW is trying to not be predictable, but given the performers in this match, it's just hard, as Kenny will walk away from this one a winner.

Pick: Kenny continues to build momentum for his match against Jon Moxley.

#3 Joey Janela, Jimmy Havoc & Darby Allin vs Sammy Guevara, Shawn Spears & MJF

The AEW roster is incredibly deep, and that's on show here, as 6 of the brightest young stars in the company will do battle, looking to pick up momentum for potential matches at All Out in August. But this is an odd match, as Shawn Spears and MJF are not exactly on the best terms right now, given Spears' attack of Cody, and that will ultimately cost this team.

That's an overused trope in wrestling, but we'll give AEW the benefit of the doubt, believing they can make this story work. Given all the talent and freedom involved, they should definitely be able to make it work.

This will be a great way to let the other 4 men show off their talent, as they've all got something to prove going forward, but ultimately, the story here is MJF and Shawn Spears, and that's what will cost them the match.

Pick: The duo of Spears and MJF blow up, costing their team

#2 SCU (Scorpio Sky & Frankie Kazarian) vs The Lucha Bros (Penta and Fenix)

All Elite Wrestling has shown plenty of strengths early on, but their biggest one is the tag team division. At Fight for the Fallen, we've got two dream tag team matches. The Lucha Bros have come up short in both of their AEW matches so far, and now up against the popular SCU, this has the feel of a must-win match for Pentagon Jr. and Rey Fenix.

Like the main event, this one will have implications heading into the AEW Tag Team Championship Tournament, and given the talent of all 4 men involved, it's bound to be a classic.

With momentum behind them, SCU is the obvious pick here, but The Lucha Bros are big for All Elite Wrestling, so a victory to get them some momentum makes perfect sense here.

Pick: SCU come up short against the talented Luchadors.

#1 The Young Bucks vs Cody & Dustin Rhodes

Following their brutal bout at Double or Nothing, Cody and Dustin embraced, announcing they would again be a team. It's safe to say that this is definitely a big-time dream match. The Young Bucks have been on fire as of late, and although there isn't much at stake here, this one will no doubt have plenty of emotion behind it.

Given that the AEW World Tag Team Tournament is just on the horizon, a victory here for either team could change the landscape of the company. It will definitely have a big fight feel. While The Young Bucks are the best tag team in the world, they can't win every single time, and a big upset here will be good for business, and it's exactly what we expect to happen.

Pick: The Rhodes brothers give us a shocking upset.
