AEW Fyter Fest night two live results: Jericho vs. Orange Cassidy
Fyter Fest continues tonight on TNT.
Orange Cassidy vs. Chris Jericho will headline night two of the event. Their feud was set in motion when Jericho and The Inner Circle beat Cassidy down with a bag of blood oranges. Cassidy got a measure of revenge a week later when he cost Jericho and Sammy Guevara a shot at the AEW Tag Team titles. The two had a strong brawl two weeks ago on Dynamite and a pull-apart on night one of Fyter Fest last week.
Kenny Omega and Hangman Page will defend their AEW World Tag Team Championships against Private Party. Omega and Page successfully defended their titles last week against Best Friends, while Private Party defeated Santana and Ortiz a week ago to earn the title shot.
The Young Bucks will be in action this evening, teaming with FTR. They will take on The Butcher, The Blade, Pentagon Jr. and Rey Fenix in an eight-man tag.
Colt Cabana will team with Mr. Brodie Lee and Stu Grayson against the SCU trio of Christopher Daniels, Frankie Kazarian and Scorpio Sky.
A major announcement from Taz and Brian Cage has been advertised for the show as well. Cage was originally scheduled to challenge Jon Moxley for the AEW World Championship tonight, but that match has been pushed to next week’s Fight for the Fallen.
Lance Archer vs. Joey Janela and Nyla Rose in action have also been advertised for tonight’s show.
Our live coverage begins at 8 p.m. Eastern time.

Janela set up a table on the outside. He then grabbed a chair and climbed to the top rope. The referee took the chair away which gave Archer time to recover. Archer hit a pounce, then targeted Janela’s back with stomps.
You could see welts forming on Janela’s back and chest from the force of Archer’s blows. Archer continued working Janela over as the show went to a commercial break.

**********
Tony Schiavone went to the ring and introduced Taz and Brian Cage.
Taz brought a black bag to the ring. He said what was in the bag was something he created years ago with his blood, sweat and tears, the FTW World Championship.
Taz said no promotion has ever recognized the FTW title but fans around the world recognize that whoever holds that title is the baddest son of a bitch on the planet. Taz said Cage is no longer uncrowned, he’s the new FTW champion.
Taz said the FTW Championship is some renegade sh**. He said Cage is the FTW Champion and will soon be the AEW Champion too.
Taz continued his run of great promos here.

The Butcher, The Blade, Pentagon Jr. & Rey Fenix defeated The Young Bucks & FTR
This was an incredible match. If they wanted to go the rest of the show I would have been fine with it.
Penta and Nick started off but Penta demanded that Harwood tag in. Harwood and Wheeler went after Pentagon’s left arm. Pentagon came back with kicks to Harwood. Pentagon hit a double stomp off the top. Fenix tagged in for a springboard kick and a one count.

Rose said she sees all these great wrestlers in AEW with managers and most of them have titles. She said she’s going to have a manager but she’s not ready to say who it is yet.
Rose turned her attention to Hikaru Shida in the crowd. She said the manager will ensure that she will leave AEW with Hikaru Shida’s title very soon.

This was a good match and the story of Cabana slowly embracing Dark Order is growing on me.
Grayson and Daniels started out. Grayson got some offense before Daniels cut him off. Kazarian tagged in and hit a release German suplex for a two count.
Cabana and Sky tagged in. Cabana sold his ribs as Sky grabbed him. Lee began yelling at Cabana from the apron as if he was angry that Cabana was showing weakness.

After the break, Lee slammed Sky. Grayson hit a splash off the top for a two count. Sky came back with a kick to Cabana’s ribs and a neckbreaker.
