Three down, one to go. As All Elite Wrestling prepares for its televised debut in early October, the company has now completed three of its four events announced with Fight for the Fallen that took place Saturday night in Jacksonville, Florida. The extended map has done well to summarize some scenarios and push the company to its biggest show to date, All Out, which will take place on August 31 in Chicago.
Perhaps the most notable on Saturday is not only the continuation of the rivalry between Adam "Hangman" Page and Chris Jericho for the vacant AEW World Championship title, but Kenny Omega returning to his original state with a dream match against CIMA. The main event of The Young Bucks vs. Cody & Dustin Rhodes has also been featured – albeit to a lesser extent – and we will probably be talking about the series while talking about a line that Cody has added to the # 39, a charity presentation to WWE. .
That said, there were production problems throughout the show. The comment took a step back with the return to the original team. And the end of the show was rushed and quite awkward. So what happened Saturday night in Jacksonville? Read on for detailed results and notes from AEW Fight for the Fallen.

AEW Fight against the victims, results
Sony Kiss def. Peter Avalon via pinfall (The Buy In): Kiss showed impressive athleticism as the librarian's gimmick continued to pull the crowd. Leva Bates tried to help Avalon when Kiss fell out of the ring, but distracted her. Kiss finally touched a spring couple and a split leg fall from the second rope to get the win. It was good for an opening match at an event like this, but there was nothing really to bring home. Still, Kiss had a strong performance. I would like to see him in a more interesting and meaningful fight. Grade: D
Shoko Nakajima and Bea Priestley def. Britt Baker and Riho via pinfall (The Buy In): The crowd was eager to see Priestley make his debut, and the work between Riho and Nakajima was amusing, except when they exchanged shots so clearly drawn that the spectator was a little disconcerted. Baker seemed slow and rusty in the fight, which was predictable because she did not participate regularly in the competition. A topi suicida from Nakajima eliminated Riho, while a senton (which was missing a Baker) gave rise to a charge that Riho attempted to separate. Riho then hit Nakajima with impressive moves, including a suplex in the Aurora Borealis, for a pair of 2.9 points. The women then exchanged maneuvers in a quick finish that saw Nakajima fold Riho for the 1-2-3. The last minutes between Riho and Nakajima have been by far the most impressive and have greatly improved the game. AEW spent the rest of the battle building a Baker-Priestley feud with ongoing interactions and clashes, including a heartbreaking fight after the bell. Grade: C
Shawn Spears, MJF and Sammy Guevara def. Joey Janela, Jimmy Havoc and Darby Allin via Pinfall: Spears' warmth with MJF (his teammate and Cody's friend) and Allin (his opponent, who stole the show at Fyter Fest) was the only notable part of the front half of the bout. Havoc hit a cool superplex on Guevara standing on Spears' back for the spot of the match. Guevara then had his hour of meeting by exchanging with tope suicidas and corkscrews before hitting a Spanish fly standing on Allin for a score of 2.5. Janela hit Guevara with a Death Valley driver on the ring apron to eliminate him. Spears brought Guevara back into the ring for a tag and then hit Allin with a DVD for the win. As for the previous women's match, this fight was more for the purpose of advancing a story than the competition itself outside the aforementioned wave. Spears' pass was important for All Out, although the crowd was apparently more interested in the other five men of the match. Grade: C
Brandi Rhodes def. Ally falling: Before the game started, Brandi was kind to Allie … until she showed up at the entrance and that Awesome Kong hit the ring. Kong served primarily as a control and entertainment officer. Brandi dominated the offensive early, but a super allied DVD launched by Allie counted nearly three times (until Kong separated him from the outside). Allie locked in a dragon sleeper on Brandi, who only asked that he not be seen by the referee (distracted by Kong). Brandi then stung Allie in the eye and hit his bionic spear for victory. Brandi attacked Allie after the sound of the bell and almost fed him to Kong until Aja Kong's music hit. The Kongs looked at each other before three referees were separated by Brandi. The match was below average, and the only enthusiasm was really the staredown. Grade: D +
Dark Order def. Jungle Boy & Luchasaurus (via pinfall) and Jack Evans & Angelico: A boy and his dinosaur enjoyed all the support of the supporters, and the team of Evans & Angelico avoided the tags very early despite the stipulation that the winner would have a chance to win a bye at the time. a next tournament. The match began slowly until Evil Uno reached Jungle Boy, an impressive high-level faction, but it was Luchasaurus who was heading straight for Moon and hitting Evans, which caused a brief frenzy in the crowd. A 450 Evans assistant on Jungle Boy, followed by Angelico 's Black Tiger bomb could be in trouble with Jungle Boy; Instead, Marko Stunt pushed Angelico out of the ring's apron and the referee allowed him to hit a huricanrana on Evans. The referee expelled Stunt but then let Luchasaurus throw him into Angelico on the outside. Luchasaurus and Jungle Boy combined to create a formidable air powerbomb, but Uno broke the pin attempt on Evans. The Dark Order then combined to form a faction and splash A Boy and his dinosaur to slow them down, followed by a fatality on Jungle Boy for victory. What we had in the last third of the match showed what these teams are able to put in place. The crowd was warm on arrival and deserving. Only minor demerits are due to Stunt's obvious interference and legitimate start. Category B-
Hangman Page def. Kip Sabian via pinfall: A press of Page shooting stars breathed a little life into a dead crowd more than five minutes after the start of the match. Sabian spat in Page's face, so he pierced her with a discus lariat. Page later hit a moon soul from the top rope to the outside of the ring and solidified his left knee previously injured. The moment of the match came when Page raised Sabian as if he were running an electric bomb and threw him outside the ring on the raised access ramp. Page then strikes a fool who swings from the top rope for a count of 2.8, causing a desperate Sabian to execute a dragon screw between the strings to adjust the Page leg. After some unsuccessful attempts, Page lifted Sabian and hit Dead Eye for 1-2-3 within one minute of the fight.
After the match, Page was attacked by Chris Jericho, who wore the mask of one of the Black Order's climbers. He knocked Page with the Codebreaker and the Judas Effect, leaving her bloody with a huge bruise under the eye. The crowd chanted "Thank you, Jericho", who became the third wrestler to give double major at night. The crowd jumped for individual moves but did not connect to the match. As such, it was a difficult grade, but the post match angle helped. Category B-
Lucha Brothers def. Frankie Kazarian & Scorpio Sky going through the pins: Pentagon Jr. and Sky traded hand gestures and slogans against five minutes in the middle of the ring, but the crowd ate it. The Lucha Brothers involved Christopher Daniels in the match and he was allowed to hit a springboard before being ejected. Once the business has resumed, the Pentagon and Rey Fenix have demonstrated all their splendor with a variety of superkicks, spinning heel shots and a fantastic sense of turnaround. Sky hit the Pentagon with a knife on the ring's apron and Sky helped Kazarian break through Fenix with a DDT at the top rope assisted. A Canadian destroyer on Sky by the Pentagon generated a count of 2.5, but the following package Piledriver Double Foot Stomp Finisher did the job.
SCU played well in the match and did just enough to help the Lucha brothers have an impressive victory. After the match, the Lucha brothers grabbed a ladder under the ring and broke it. They then climbed the ladder and took a microphone with the Pentagon, claiming that they were the best club team in the world before launching The Young Bucks at a ranking match at All Out, presumably for the AAA Team Championship. . Category B
Kenny Omega def. CIMA via pinfall: The crowd was on fire at the beginning of this match, rhythmic and constantly in action. CIMA hit a Perfect Driver on Omega for a count of 2.5, but he bounced with a spinning heel kick to the back of CIMA's head, followed by a V-trigger at same place. CIMA then neutralized Omega in a powerbomb of the upper rope that seemed extremely dangerous while Omega seemed to land on his head. Outside the ring, CIMA marveled at an aggressive Omega and climbed a platform to hit a meteor on Omega, who was lying on a hard box-shaped table. CIMA then hit Omega with one knee on the back of the head and another meteor inside the ring, but only got one count of 2.5. Omega grabbed CIMA's next meteorite and bombarded it against the turnbuckles; he followed with a super dragon, a V-trigger, a snare and another V-trigger before CIMA stopped an angel at a wing.
CIMA responded by depositing Omega on the ring's apron and hitting a third meteor, but Omega placed her foot under the bottom rope to break the count. Omega finally responded with a Tiger Driver 98 for a count of 2.7 and a combination of crib pins with a CIMA leg hook allowed the OWE star to drop to 2.9. Omega immediately bounced back with an angel to a wing to win the victory in a truly extraordinary fight, the best match ever played by AEW. It's a thing to call something a "dream match"; it is another to go out and prove that he deserved the nickname. Grade: A
Chris Jericho with a live microphone: Jericho joked that he had Page's blood on his hand and was crunching on Jacksonville (and rightly so) and promised to get his well-deserved "thank you" one person at a time, beating all the AEW alignment. He ran against most of the AEW wrestlers and said that he would prove that Hangman is "nothing more than a little bitch". As he said, Page ran on the ramp and attacked Jericho, hitting him in the ring. Referees, backstage officials and a handful of wrestlers eventually separated them. Good segment even though Jericho walked and repeated a few jokes.
The Young Bucks def. Cody and Dustin Rhodes via a pinfall: The teams shook hands before the start of the match, but once a little action began, the Bucks still laughed at Rhodes' embrace at Double or Nothing. Nick Jackson later spat in Cody's face while he was on the ropes in the hope of a tag. Dustin hit a crossbody on the second string to take out the Bucks, and Cody was offended after a hot-tag, including a dive through the ropes on the raised ramp. The match slowed when the Rhodes focused on Matt's left shoulder. The teams exchanged Bucks and four-digit figure locks (Rhodes) before Dustin knocked a knocked-out sentinel and Cody managed a climb in front of the ring. A cross Rhodes assisted on Matt counted only twice while Nick jumped from the top rope for a swanton bomb that broke it. The Rhodes continued to hit the movements in stereo until the Bucks distinguished them and isolated Dustin, who reacted with a yoshi tonic to improve the situation. The Bucks turned their heels when they hit Cody with a double superkick on the back of the head; they then faked superkicks on the brothers only to hit the uppercuts of Rhodes. The Rhodes responded with superkicks, so Nick hit Cross Rhodes on Cody for a score of 2.5. The Bucks then nailed Cody with a Meltzer driver for the win.
The Brotherhood embraces after the defeat as the Bucks take a microphone and claim that their veins of the last weeks were all in the spirit of competition. Matt said that he had never seen "much of the other product" to judge, but that the Rhodes were indeed one of the best teams. Their post-match segment was cut due to weather, which caused confusion in the ring. A little later, while they were presenting a charity check, Cody launched a rage that no other company could make counter-program. While the match was certainly entertaining and told a solid story, the over-reliance on double maneuvering during several segments of the match began as a fun game, but soon became fanciful. The Rhodes have undoubtedly resisted the Bucks, but there is a clear difference in the quality of the matches when the Bucks face a team at the height of their athleticism and creativity. Nothing wrong with this match whatsoever, but he did not hold a candle for the fight that preceded him. Category B
