They always say that the first blow is half the battle won. AEW did a commendable job with Double or Nothing, a show that culminated with former WWE Superstar Jon Moxley's arrival, shocking the world at large.
And now, as we head into AEW's second big event- Fyter Fest, a surprise of a similar magnitude will ensure that the show makes waves in the months that follow. Because it's not nearly as big a show as Double or Nothing, the hype for Fyter Fest has just seemed a little limited.
What are the surprises that could potentially take place at AEW Fyter Fest? Having watched the preview videos to the show, here are 5 things that I believe could potentially happen.
Let me know your thoughts and comments in the section below.
#5 MJF cuts a scathing promo, Eli Drake then shuts him up
A lot of comparisons have been made between MJF and Eli Drake. Both men are similar in the sense that neither is really Kenny Omega in the ring, but when they have microphones in their hands, they are both untouchable. Maybe if you count The Miz, this is the holy trinity of great promos in the modern era of professional wrestling.
We know that Eli Drake was released from Impact Wrestling because of a variety of reasons and he's just biding his time before he signs the next big contract that takes him to the next phase of his career. I think that AEW would be a great place for him to sign and also, he would be a great signing for AEW.
Just imagine MJF being as obnoxious as always on the microphone when Eli Drake comes in and shuts him up. What a great moment this could potentially be for fans!
#4 Jon Moxley attacks Kenny Omega during his match
Kenny Omega and The Young Bucks will team up to take on Pentagon Jr., Fenix, and Laredo Kid in an exciting tag team contest. This should be a candidate for Match of the Night. When these six men are in the ring together, chaos will ensue.
I believe that during the course of the match, Jon Moxley could potentially step in and attack Kenny Omega. This is because their match is the biggest attraction at AEW All Out. And a confrontation here could create hype for what will be AEW's biggest show thus far.
Moxley made an instant impression when he came out through the audience at Double or Nothing, and if he does so again, the impact will be just as massive. It will make the Kenny Omega vs. Jon Moxley match at All Out a very huge deal.
#3 A mid-card championship is announced for AEW
AEW has superstars like Joey Janela, Jimmy Havoc and Jon Moxley among others, who excel at the hardcore style of in-ring competition. I think it is only appropriate that they launch an AEW Hardcore Championship.
This will actually set them as different from their peers, because WWE, in particular, does not carry out hardcore style matches on live television, with a few exceptions. We know that AEW will not refrain from getting gritty and real if the situation so demands it, and therefore, the performers could benefit from a Hardcore Championship.
If not, even a mid-card Championship, like the Impact X-Division Championship could help a lot of the performers in the roster get noticed. A World Championship is great, but not everyone is going to be in the title picture, all the time, right?
Could we see the unveiling of a new title at Fyter Fest?
#2 The Young Bucks attack Cody during his match
As someone who's behind the scenes at AEW, Cody Rhodes will want to put over new stars. However, he doesn't want to do so in such a manner that he comes off looking weak and powerless. So, how does he put over Darby Allin without looking weak in the process?
I think that The Young Bucks could potentially show up and take Cody out, during this match. This is because Dustin and Cody Rhodes will team up at Fight for the Fallen to take on The Young Bucks. This run-in could potentially help Darby Allin in picking up a victory.
A win over Cody would make him an instant star at once. And honestly, this is exactly what AEW needs at this time because while Cody may be a big name, the general audience does not really know a lot of the AEW roster yet.
#1 James Storm shows up at AEW Fyter Fest
'Cowboy' James Storm was one of the biggest stars in Impact Wrestling until he parted ways with the company not long ago. Since then, he has been a regular feature in the independent circuit, but AEW may just decide to scoop Storm up so that he can become a valuable addition to their roster.
While AEW does have a wealth of talent in its roster at the moment, the issue with a lot of their stars is that they are not household names. While James Storm may not be as famous as say, John Cena, he's had national and international television exposure, which is why he is already a very established figure.
All he needs to do is make a run-in. And if that happens, everyone will be talking about it until the October TV show actually kicks off.
