AEW Dynamite (7/20) Preview: Fyter Fest Rolls On With Barbed Wire Everywhere!
It’s Wednesday, and you know what that means!
Tonight, the second week of Fyter Fest will commence and be headlined by a Barbed Wire Everywhere Deathmatch between Eddie Kingston and Chris Jericho, who will be once again summoning “The Painmaker” within. Additionally, the interim AEW World Champion Jon Moxley and ROH Pure Champion Wheeler Yuta will be in tag team action, and Brody King will go one-on-one with Darby Allin, and much more.
Here’s everything you need to know before tonight’s episode of AEW Dynamite on TBS!
Barbed Wire Everywhere!
With the Jericho Appreciation Society suspended above the ring in a shark cage, Eddie Kingston and Chris Jericho look to finish their rivalry once and for all. This story has been brewing for the majority of 2022 and it looks to come to a bloody climax on July 20. For Eddie Kingston, he needs the closure only Vengeance can provide. For Jericho, he summons “The Painmaker” hoping to put an end to Eddie Kingston.
One way or another, this feud will end and the wrestling world will get to see what’s left of both men.
Darby And Brody Get Violent
Darby Allin and Brody King are no strangers to one another. After Darby extended the hand of friendship and respect, mostly the latter, to Brody King following his World Championship match against Jon Moxley, Brody responded by violently attacking Darby during a signing. Now, these men will go one-on-one for the first time in AEW and with Malakai Black and Sting not too far away, this is a combustible situation with two very violent and occasionally reckless men at the center.
Christian Cage Leads Luchasaurus In The Orchestrated Destruction Of The Varsity Blonds
Luchasaurus, who is now evil, will tag team with Christian Cage as they go against The Varsity Blonds, Griff Garrison and Brian Pillman Jr. The blonds fight to prove their worth while Christian Cage looks to prove that he is still in complete control of Luchasaurus following the turn on Jungle Boy, who has not been seen since.
Jon Moxley And Wheeler Yuta Take The Best Friends To Task
Wheeler Yuta was once an honorary member of Best Friends. In fact, before the formation of the Blackpool Combat Club, it was Bryan Danielson who said that there is no reason for a wrestler like Wheeler to be hanging around Best Friends. Now, Chuck Taylor and Trent will look to extract any measure of revenge and work out whatever frustrations they have against Yuta who will be teaming with the interim AEW World Champion, Jon Moxley.
Two Baddies (And A Stand-In For Red Velvet) Take On Their Greatest Rivals To-Date
It’s The Baddies vs. The Babes With The Power as Jade Cargill and Kiera Hogan team with Leila Gray, whom Stokely Hathaway is praying works out as an interim baddie, to go against Athena, Kris Statlander, and Willow Nightingale. Athena and Kris have been trying to prove that they have Jade’s number and perhaps, the internal issues with Jade and Kiera not fully accepting Leila as a Baddie will allow Athena and Kris, along with Willow to score a victory tonight.
However, Stokely Hathaway will do whatever he has to do to make sure his team wins because Jade made it clear, if Leila Gray doesn’t work out, it’s Stokely’s job.
That’s everything that has been announced for tonight’s episode so far. Additionally, Ring of Honor will be hosting their Death Before Dishonor pay-per-view this Saturday with names like Claudio Castagnoli, FTR, Samoa Joe, Jay Lethal, and Jonathan Gresham all looking to make an impact between now and Saturday.
Also, Wardlow is still making his way as the AEW TNT Champion and Swerve Strickland and Keith Lee are just one week removed from winning the Tag Team Championships and may be in the building as well.
Ahead of tonight’s episode of Dynamite, AEW released its latest updated rankings.
