Denver’s Mission Ballroom transforms into wrestling paradise tonight as All Elite Wrestling delivers Fyter Fest 2025, a marathon four-hour spectacular that promises to shake up the championship landscape. The Mile High City plays host to what could be one of the year’s most unpredictable title matches, as Kenny Omega’s International Championship reign faces its toughest test yet in a chaotic four-way battlefield.
Championship Chaos: Four Warriors, One Prize
“The Best Bout Machine” Kenny Omega enters tonight’s main event carrying more than just championship gold—he’s shouldering the weight of three hungry challengers who’ve each carved their path to this moment through blood, sweat, and determination. The International Championship, a prize that represents wrestling excellence across borders, hangs in the balance as four distinctly different styles prepare to collide.
Brody King earned his championship opportunity by dismantling Josh Alexander, proving that his House of Black brutality translates perfectly to singles competition. Meanwhile, Claudio Castagnoli showcased his technical mastery by outclassing Komander, reminding everyone why European wrestling precision remains unmatched.
“This diverse combination of wrestling styles promises a thrilling contest for the International Title.”
Perhaps most intriguingly, Máscara Dorada secured the final spot by defeating Hechicero on AEW Collision, bringing authentic lucha libre artistry to a match that already features powerhouse strikes, technical wizardry, and Kenny Omega’s innovative offense. When four wrestling philosophies clash simultaneously, expect the unexpected.
Moxley’s Non-Title War with Mark Briscoe
Championship gold won’t be on the line when Jon Moxley steps across from Mark Briscoe, but don’t mistake this for a casual encounter. This confrontation stems from Double or Nothing, where Briscoe’s interference cost the Death Riders a crucial victory, leading to Moxley choking him out during a subsequent Dynamite mixed trios match.
For Briscoe, this represents more than just another match—it’s about family honor, personal redemption, and proving that his fighting spirit can withstand even the World Champion’s relentless aggression. Moxley, fresh off retaining his AEW Championship, now faces a hungry challenger with nothing to lose and everything to prove.
Women’s Division Spotlight
“Timeless” Toni Storm partners with Mina Shirakawa against the dangerous duo of Julia Hart and Skye Blue, but the real intrigue lies at the commentary desk. TBS Champion Mercedes Moné will provide live analysis while simultaneously scouting Storm for their upcoming Women’s World Championship clash at All In Texas.
This match gained steam when Storm rescued Shirakawa from a brutal ambush, setting up tag team action that could influence the entire women’s championship picture moving forward.
International Flavor: FTR Faces CMLL’s Finest
The self-proclaimed “greatest tag team on the planet,” FTR, issued an open challenge that CMLL stars Atlantis Jr. and Templario eagerly accepted. However, what started as competitive respect quickly devolved into personal animosity when Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler crossed the line by mocking lucha libre heritage, particularly targeting the legendary legacy of Atlantis Jr.’s father.
This encounter represents more than just AEW’s ongoing partnership with CMLL—it’s a clash between old-school American tag team wrestling and the high-flying technical excellence that defines Mexican lucha libre. When pride and tradition collide, sparks inevitably fly.
Faction Warfare and Fresh Faces
La Facción Ingobernable continues their campaign of chaos as RUSH, Dralístico, and The Beast Mortos face the unlikely alliance of Komander, Kevin Knight, and “Speedball” Mike Bailey. Recent weeks have seen escalating tensions, with RUSH’s interference tactics and Dralístico’s surprise attacks pushing this rivalry toward its boiling point.
Kevin Knight returns from NJPW’s Best of the Super Juniors tournament with fresh momentum, while Bailey and Komander seek revenge for LFI’s underhanded tactics.
Mystery Debut
“The Toxic Spider” Thekla makes her highly anticipated AEW in-ring debut following her shocking attack on Jamie Hayter last Wednesday on Dynamite. With her opponent’s identity still shrouded in secrecy, Thekla’s first official match promises to make an immediate impact on the women’s division hierarchy.
The Hurt Syndicate’s Next Chapter
AEW World Tag Team Champions Bobby Lashley and Shelton Benjamin, alongside their newest member MJF, address the AEW Universe following their successful Double or Nothing title defense against the Sons of Texas. MJF’s journey into The Hurt Syndicate reached its official conclusion on May 14’s Dynamite: Beach Break, though his integration hasn’t been seamless.
Their championship victory showcased both the promise and growing pains of this alliance, with MJF’s interference attempts creating tension before ultimately contributing to their success.
As Denver prepares for four hours of non-stop action, one question looms large: which of tonight’s matches will create the biggest ripple effects heading toward All In Texas? With championships, pride, and personal vendettas all hanging in the balance, Fyter Fest 2025 could reshape AEW’s landscape in ways we haven’t even imagined yet.
