We are live from the Gas South Arena in Duluth, Georgia, as Darby Allin and Brody King make their respective entrances to the ring and with both guys standing across from each other inside the squared circle, the bell sounds and our opening contest is officially underway.
Darby Allin vs. Brody King
The two men waste no time in getting this one going, with Brody King catching Darby Allin as he tried to dive straight away, being caught and slammed into the barricade. King chokes his opponent onto the ring post, while inside the ring the bigger man leveled Allin with a clothesline and then a huge chop.
King connects with a couple of Atomic Drops to keep the pressure on as his chops drop Allin down to the floor once again. Brody attempts to to put Darby onto the top turnbuckle, but he fights back and then dives onto him, only for Brody to just swat him out of the air. King then grabs Allin by his pants, ragdolling him around the ring and into the bottom rope.
King continues his attack, tossing Allin into the barricade which crashes through the steel, as he then repeats the spot. He continues dominating the former TNT Champion, consistently sending him out of the ring as he follows it up with a senton back inside the squared circle.
Allin then uses his belt to hook around the feet of the bigger man, dragging him to the floor as he then lays in a series of right hands before cannonballing through the bottom rope to hit his opponent. Back inside the ring he hits the Coffin Splash, but as he goes for another, King catches him in the sleeper and then sets him in the tree of woe, which allows King to slug away at him.
King looks for a cannonball, but Darby pulls himself up and as Brody hits the turnbuckles he then gets nailed with Code Red, but King is able to kick out! Allin locks in a submission to try to keep his opponent down, but he powers up and then nails the cannonball, crushing Allin into the corner.
Allin tries to fight back again with an attempted stunner from the top turnbuckle on the ring apron, but King blocks it, uses his rear naked chokehold, just as he did to win the battle royal recently, dumping him to the floor, but he beats the count! Allin might’ve got back into the ring, but he walks into a Gonzo Bomb, and this one is over.
Winner: Brody King
After the match, King locks in the submission again until Sting makes his way down to the ring, but he misses with a charge in the corner, allowing the Hall Of Famer to set up the Scorpion Death Drop. But the lights then go out, and when they come back on, Sting is facing Malakai Black, only for King to connect with the Rear Choke as Black spits the black mist into his face. While Sting gets taken down, Miro then makes his way out, but he stops on the ramp as they stare each other down.
– Cole Carter is then shown backstage, but Ricky Starks comes in and heard that he was swimming with the fishies the last time people saw him, referencing how he was written off in WWE. He points out he’s been FTW Champion for a good reason but he doesn’t see it changing, while Cole then claims that Ricky’s future will look similar to his past when he beats him tonight.
Best Friends vs. Jon Moxley & Wheeler Yuta
Trent Beretta kicks things off with the interim AEW World Champion as Jon Moxley takes control until they start chopping each other and Wheeler Yuta tags in. Chuck Taylor wants in to work against his former friend, and he takes him into the corner to dominate straight away. He continues to stay on top by dropping Yuta with a shoulder tackle.
Trent then tags in and he and Yuta go back and forth with punches as they showcase their aggression, and in the end Taylor has to stop his partner. Despite the fact Taylor helped him, Yuta attacks him from behind, and he then takes out his aggression back to the BCC member, launching him into the ringside barricades several times. That fires up Moxley who chases him and launches a chair at Taylor as things begin to heat up.
Best Friends remain in control by hitting Soul Food, but Yuta is able to kick out of the pinfall attempt. Yuta finally fights back by planting Chuck down and making the tag as Moxley nails Trent with a huge lariat and then his hammering elbows as he sends Taylor out of the ring, over the timekeeper’s area and he throws the table on him for good measure.
Trent tries to fight back inside the ring with an elbow, but as he dives from the second rope he gets caught with a cutter in mid-air. Moxley drives his boot into Trent and Yuta then tags in, but a distraction from Chuck stops whatever they have in mind. Taylor plants Moxley from the top turnbuckle, as he then hits the Piledriver on Yuta as Trent follows it up with a Piledriver…yet Yuta kicks out!
Trent drops Yuta again, but Moxley stops the pinfall with the Regal Knee as he then takes down Chuck as well to give his partner some breathing room. Trent blasts him off the ring apron, only for Wheeler to start firing back at him. Chuck tags in, but Yuta locks in a guillotine, as Moxley locks in a submission on Trent outside the ring.
Unfortunately for Wheeler he gets thrown into the ring turnbuckle, only for Yuta to smartly catch Taylor out with a pinfall, which Orange Cassidy claims Chuck taught him.
Winners: Wheeler Yuta & Jon Moxley

Tony Schiavone then welcomes the new AEW Tag Team Champions, Swerve In Our Glory to the ring. Swerve reveals that Kevin Gates is in attendance, and Keith Lee then asks him when he’s dropping the deluxe? Lee expresses his eternal thanks not just to Swerve, but to the fans. He says they don’t look down, so if someone wants a shot, they’d better reach at it.
Lee then has a toast for the titles, stating may it be limitless, but Mark Sterling then appears and says they warned him and that they got lucky that Swerve didn’t stab him in the back. Sterling says the people against Swerve Strickland petition is almost complete to remove him from the roster.
He thought it would be great to get Gates to sign the petition, he claims his music sucks, which leads to Gates coming out but Tony Nese stands in his way, only for Gates to knock him out with a punch. Strickland then nails Sterling with a cake in the face.
– John Silver and Alex Reynolds are backstage with The Butcher and The Blade as they joke around until the heels attack The Dark Order stars when Hangman Page makes a save.
Christian Cage & Luchasaurus vs. The Varsity Blondes
Luchasaurus dominates from the start, launching Brian Pillman Jr. into the corner, Griff Garrison tags in and nails three rolling elbows, but as Pillman tags back in they both get dropped with a double clothesline. He then hits a Chokeslam to Pillman, and Garrison gets nailed with one as well, dropping him onto Pillman. Christian Cage then tags in and picks up the victory.
Winners: Christian Cage & Luchasaurus
After the match Cage gets onto the shoulders of Luchasaurus like Jurassic Express used to do, but then Jungle Boy returns, with a chair in hand! He stares down his former partner, and Luchasaurus steps aside, turning on Christian! The veteran sprints away, running up the stairs and Jungle Boy is in hot pursuit.
– The Gunn Club are then shown backstage where they explain why they didn’t accept a match with The Acclaimed. That’s because they have cut them out of their lives, but this Friday Austin Gunn wants a rap battle with Max Caster.
FTW Championship Match – Ricky Starks (c) vs. Cole Karter
Ricky Starks kicks things off strong, crashing into his opponent in the corner as he follows up with a clothesline. Cole Karter responds with a dropkick and several strikes of his own before hitting a diving crossbody as he then sends the champion out of the ring. Starks regains control when he gets into the ring though, hitting an elbow drop, which only gets a near fall.
Starks then grabs hold of his opponent and walks the top rope before dropping down on him as he continues to control with a rear chin lock. Starks looks for his finisher but Karter gets out and then hits a cutter of his own, but his attempted 450 then misses, allowing Starks to connect with a Spear.
Winner (and still FTW Champion): Ricky Starks
After the match Starks claims he has more in the tank, and he thinks it’s time to keep it going, so he invites another opponent to come out and answer his challenge…Danhausen then comes out and says he heard about the open challenge and he accepts it right now, but Starks backtracks and says he didn’t mean right now, so he says next week the match is official.

FTR Ready To Fight Like An 8 Year-Old Girl At ROH Death Before Dishonor 2022
We head to the ring where Tony Schiavone is standing by with his guests at this time — the triple-champions themselves, FTR.
Out comes Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler with their ROH, AAA and IWGP Tag-Team Championship title belts on. They settle in the ring and their music dies down.
The two talk about their previous showdown against The Briscoes in ROH, where they captured the ROH Tag-Team Titles, being one of the hardest matches of their careers.
They go on to tell a story about how no match has been bigger in 2022 until Saturday when it’s time for FTR vs. The Briscoes II with the ROH Tag-Team Titles on-the-line.
Dax Harwood tells a story about this five year-old girl with some breathing issues. She undergoes a CT Scan and it was learned that she has a hole in the bottom of her heart.
Harwood continued by saying the doctors told her that if she worked hard and fought hard, she has a chance of beating this thing and avoiding life-threatening surgery.
He then reveals that the girl is his daughter and that the now eight year old girl beat heart issues and fought for her life. He says if she can do that, they can fight harder than ever in what will be their toughest match to date when they step in against The Briscoes once again at ROH Death Before Dishonor.
The FTR member closes by saying they’re ready to fight like an eight year old girl this Saturday night. Epic promo work from Dax Harwood here.

Athena & Willow Nightingale vs. Jade Cargill & Kiera Hogan
Before the match, Stokely Hathaway says Leila was unable to compete, but Kris Statlander is banned from ringside. Jade Cargill then says she’s going to show everyone why she’s that b*tch.
The match gets started with Jade tagging out as Kiera Hogan comes in and locks up with Athena as the two go back and forth with arm drags. Willow Nightingale then tags in and her strength proves to be too much, connecting with a powerslam as she then drops Athena onto Hogan, who kicks out.
Athena sends Cargill to the floor and Willow then runs from the apron and flips to take both women out as Athena then dives from the top rope to crash on them all outside the ring. Hogan manages to drag Athena down from the top rope and the champion tags in, hitting a back elbow in the corner.
Hogan gets back involved and executes a great DDT before coming in with a boot to the face. Cargill then gets involved, getting rid of Willow as she goes back and forth against Athena with stiff forearms, coming out on top by catching Athena in mid-air to hit a fallaway slam. Athena then drops down after being pushed up into the air, hitting a Meteora, while she powerbombs Hogan on the apron.
Hathaway gets in her face, but he gets pushed away, only for Cargill to nail Athena with a superkick as she falls into the steel stairs. Cargill then gets caught with a small package from Willow, but she escapes it and slams her down to get a near fall. Cargill follows that up with Jaded for the win.

Britt Baker and Jamie Hayter, saying she thinks there should be fewer Rosa promos, and she then says they’ll see them on Friday.
Barbed Wire Everywhere Match – Chris Jericho vs. Eddie Kingston (Jericho Appreciation Society Locked In A Shark Cage)
The members of the Jericho Appreciation Society are suspended in a shark cage above the ring.
The theme for the J.A.S. leader plays, as “Judas in my Mind” blares through the house speakers inside the Gas South Arena as the fans in Duluth loudly sing along while “The Painmaker” Chris Jericho makes his entrance to the ring.
He settles inside the ring and then his music dies down. The fans finish their final acapella verse as usual and then the familiar sounds of Eddie Kingston’s theme plays.
The crowd pops loudly as “The Mad King” emerges and heads to the ring looking like he’s ready for business here in this match that the commentators point out is right up Kingston’s alley.
As soon as Kingston hits the ring, he grabs a microphone and blasts Jericho in the grill with it. He repeatedly bashes Jericho’s face with it and already we see “The Painmaker” feeling some pain inflicted by “The Mad King,” as Jericho is busted open within the first minute of the bout.
We see tables in the corners of the ring and one section of the ropes are replaced with barbed wire. The action spills out to the floor at ringside, where Kingston bounces Jericho’s head off the commentary desk over-and-over again.
Jericho fights back, blasting Kingston with a shot from the ring bell, which itself is also wrapped in barbed wire, much like virtually everything else in and near the ring for this unique main event.
The action resumes back inside the squared circle and we see Kingston slam Jericho into the barbed wire for the first time. Ouch. Jericho crawls around the ring covered in blood as Kingston beats on him with any-and-everything that isn’t nailed down.
Jericho gets a second wind a few moments later and after returning to his feet, he starts drilling Kingston with big right hands that has “The Mad King” on dizzy-street. Jericho ends up slamming Kingston into barbed wire now.
He’s yelling in pain as we head to a mid-match commercial break with the conclusion of our main event of AEW Dynamite: Fyter Fest Night 3 waiting around the corner when we return.
As we return from the final commercial break of the evening, we see a very bloody “Painmaker” Chris Jericho and “Mad King” Eddie Kingston duking it out to the finish, which sees all hell break loose after Jericho and Kingston are laid out following both guys landing on a table covered in barbed wire as a result of a ring apron to the outside suplex spot.
Anna Jay runs out and she and Tay Conti proceed to beat down Ruby Soho. They then let down the shark cage with the rest of the J.A.S. locked inside.
The J.A.S. hit the ring and start a multiple-person beatdown of Kingston. The reinforcements run down from the back to make the save, as Ortiz, Claudio Castagnoli, Wheeler Yuta and Jon Moxley hit the ring and ringside area and start laying a beatdown on the J.A.S. members.
Finally, Kingston and Jericho begin duking it out again in the ring. Kingston gets Jericho in a choke and it looks like it’s essentially over for “The Painmaker” until Sammy Guevara runs out. The returning Guevara blasts Kingston with a super kick to knock “The Mad King” off of Jericho. He then sends Kingston into Jericho, who spins and connects with a barbed wired Judas Effect for the victory.
Winner: Chris Jericho
Jericho, still completely wrapped in barbed wire, stands up to celebrate the victory, but Kingston continues to fight, and he ends up launching Jericho into a barbed wire spider web to get the last laugh. The commentators wrap up night three of AEW Fyter Fest 2022. That’ll do it for this week’s edition of AEW Dynamite. Thanks for joining us!
