Fyter Fest’s second week has also announced four other matches filled with competitors out for blood.
Last week,AEWkicked off the first week of Fyter Fest with a bang, including the crowning of new AEW World Tag Team Champions. Keith Lee and Swerve Strickland successfully defeated The Young Bucks and Team Taz’s Powerhouse Hobbs and Ricky Starks to capture the tag team gold. AEW aims to continue that momentum with its second week of Fyter Fest and the first ever barbed wire everywhere match.

After failing to taste Chris Jericho’s blood at Blood & Guts, Eddie Kingston aims to achieve his goal during the second week of Fyter Fest. OnDynamite,Kingston and Jericho aim to put their issues to bed once and for all in a barbed wire everywhere match. In addition to the gritty stipulation, the members ofthe Jericho Appreciation Society(Daniel Garcia, “Cool Hand” Angelo Parker, “Daddy Magic” Matt Menard, Jake Hager, and Sammy Guevara) will be suspended above the ring in a shark cage. The restriction of JAS hopes to eliminate any chance of them circling the ring like sharks that smell blood in the water.
The feud between Kingston and Jericho is long and intricate, and even if the pair manage to end their issues, the bad blood between both sides will continue to boil. JAS reigned victoriousat Double or Nothingin the Anarchy in the Arena and repeated their luck at Forbidden Door. However, Kingston and the Blackpool Combat Club were the victors at Blood & Guts. This Saturday, the BCC’s Wheeler Yuta will defend his Ring of Honor Pure Championship against JAS' Daniel Garcia, suggesting the feud between these factions is far from over.
Aside from Kingston and Jericho’s blood feud, the second week of Fyter Fest has additional matches filled with bad blood. Yuta will team with the interim AEW World Champion andfellow BCC member Jon Moxleyto take on Trent Beretta and Chuck Taylor of the Best Friends. Before joining the BCC, Yuta was under the mentorship of Taylor and Orange Cassidy, but after receiving a less than warm reception from Beretta, he ultimately left the group to join William Regal, Bryan Danielson, and Moxley. Since then, the group has gone on to add Claudio Castagnoli.
After turning his back on Jungle Boy, Christian Cage and Luchasaurus will compete against the Varsity Blondes. The House of Black’s Brody King will take on Darby Allin following weeks of back-and-forth on and off-screen banter between the two. Finally,the team of Kris Statlander, Athena, and Willow Nightingale will compete against the TBS Champion Jade Cargill and The Baddies (Kiera Hogan and Leila Grey). Statlander and Athena have had their sights set on the TBS Champion as they hope to prove they are challengers Cargill should be concerned about.
All Elite Wrestlingwill be live from Duluth, Georgia at 8 p.m. Eastern Time on TBS.
