Every AEW Pay-Per-View Ranked - From Worst To Best
45. Fyter Fest 2019
Fyter Fest has become one of the many "event shows" on Dynamite, but it started life as a PPV before AEW had a permanent TV deal. It feels a little unfair to rag on a PPV that was free-to-air in the US, considering that the company was unable to tell stories for audiences to get their teeth into outside of Being The Elite. That said, this card has little of the quality AEW would make their forte on PPV.
Jon Moxley beat Joey Janella in an Unsanctioned Match, but ended the night being attacked by Kenny Omega. Omega was out for revenge after Moxley brutalized him following his loss to Chris Jericho at the end of Double Or Nothing, continuing one of the feuds that would define AEW's early years. Cody Rhodes helped Darby Allin to showcase his brilliance as they fought to a time-limit draw, but the match was marred with controversy as Cody took an unguarded chair shot to the head from Shawn Spears after the match, requiring 12 stitches in the aftermath.
The Elite defeated The Lucha Bros and Laredo Kid in a solid six-man tag, but the rest of the card featured little that has stood the test of time (especially in comparison to the high-quality PPVs AEW would begin producing).
