AEW Fyter Fest

Christopher Daniels vs. CIMA

This has a nice charm of two true vets going at it. It wasn't very memorable though, but it was perfectly fine. Some solid back & forth, with a nice lil' story of Daniels working a bit over CIMA's back. **1/2

Nyla Rose vs. Riho vs. Yuka Sakazaki

Good stuff. Riho & Yuka brought a nice sense of urgency to the thing right from the start w/ them teaming against the much bigger woman in Nyla Rose, and that urgency increases very well as the match goes on - all resulting in that awesome finishing stretch. ***

Adam Page vs. Jimmy Havoc vs. Jungle Boy vs. MJF

Good spotfest with everybody getting time to shine. Fun action from bell to bell, and even before the bell actually with MJF's awesome promo. ***

Cody vs. Darby Allin

Darby Allin, one of the very best wrestlers in the world, getting this big match & spotlight is absolutely WONDERFUL. The match was good too, and he in particular, unsurprisingly, absolutely killed it. Cody certainly isn't the most compelling dude when working a long-ass beatdown segment, but Darby's unbelievably amazing bumping & selling make it work. The energy picks up everytime he mounts comebacks too. Had Cody been more interesting on top, this more than likely would've been great. ***1/4

The Elite vs. Laredo Kid & The Lucha Brothers

The first half of this is terribly soulless, as its just full of generic & usual, super choreographed & weak looking sequences. It does pick up & get somewhat interesting at some point, and by the end, it's actually pretty good. Overall definitely nothing to write home about though. **1/2

Joey Janela vs. Jon Moxley

EASILY the best match of the night. Two great personalities clashing in a match that fits those personalities pretty much perfectly. Full of creatively fun violence w/ them constantly looking to one-up the previous big spot. ***3/4
