11 Ups & 1 Down From AEW Fyter Fest 2021 Night 1

7. An Absolutely Unreal Prospect Of A Match

Omega Dark Order
AEW

A five-on-five Survivor Series style match between the Super Elite and the Dark Order - which if the latter lose, they lose the chance to contend for the singles and tag World Titles - was set for a show yet to be determined. Please make it Fight For The Fallen, and please allow both stables 30 minutes to explore every incredible narrative opportunity.

Can you imagine?

Can you imagine if this is as great as its ceiling, and the Young Bucks can say that they worked the best match in the history of the - yes! - Carolinas?!

Those opportunities are vast.

The Young Bucks and Evil Uno and Grayson work brain-melting magic together. Imagine that building towards the most highly-anticipated showdown in all of pro wrestling right now. Really, this is the perfect reward for AEW's slow-burn, stable-heavy, definitive wins approach. Every breathless near-fall will be so richly informed by the fact that the Young Bucks have gone virtually undefeated for well over a year.

Imagine Kenny Omega kicking out at 2.9 time and again for cult hero Uno, and remember that's not even the emotional crux of the match. Imagine Page eliminating Matt Jackson, only for Matt to threaten to f*ck him over. Imagine the burning heat on that spot.

This is the best thing - by miles - happening in pro wrestling right now.
