To kick off Fyter Fest night one, Jon Moxley successfully retained the IWGP U.S. Heavyweight Title by beating Karl Anderson. Following that bout, it was announced that Moxley will defend the title again next week against Lance Archer in a Texas Deathmatch. This is a rematch from their Wrestle Kingdom 14 bout. Next week’s AEW Fyter Fest is emanating from Garland, Texas.

In order to get to MJF, Chris Jericho must make it through a series of challenges that are being put in front of him by MJF. That first challenge begins on 7/21 when Jericho goes one-on-one with Shawn Spears. The rule is that Spears can use a chair in the match but Jericho cannot.
