AEW followed its two-week Fyter Fest with a special Fight for the Fallen edition of Dynamite that largely delivered with Jon Moxley and Brian Cage fighting for the AEW title to a controversial finish [17:45]. Host Adam Silverstein looks at the decision to have Taz throw in the towel, Chris Jericho's "Demo God" promo, Sonny Kiss' big moment and whether AEW is meeting the lofty expectations it created upon its debut. But first, "The Silver King" leads his birthday show with NXT [4:05] as he basks in the glory of Keith Lee's double title reign, wonders about his championship contenders, lauds the incredible Legado del Fantasma vignette and directs the women's title match between Io Shirai and Teagen Nox in the main event.
