Fyter Fest, Night One - Dynamite recap for July 14, 2021

Jon Moxley retains the IWGP United States Championship against "Machine Gun" Karl Anderson.

We hear from Lance Archer and Jake "The Snake" Roberts. Archer tells Jon Moxley that he has done a good job retaining the IWGP United States Championship and that he wants a rematch for the title in the form of a Texas Death Match next week. He says that one person will leave the champion while the other will not even be standing.

Backstage, Alex Abrahantes interviews Andrade el Idolo, who wants to know where The Death Triangle (PAC, Penta el Zero Miedo, Rey Fenix) is, and tells Alex to tell The Death Triangle that he is looking for them.

"Absolute" Ricky Starks beats "The Machine" Brian Cage to become the FTW World Champion after Powerhouse Hobbs, who refuses to let Starks use the title as a weapon, hits Cage in the head with the title, allowing Starks to hit the Spear for the win and the title.

"The American Nightmare" Cody Rhodes shows up and tells Malachi Black that a phone call would have sufficed and that he understands being a franchise player, then condemns him for attacking "The Enforcer" Arn Anderson. Cody grabs a microphone and says that while he does not win every fight, he stands a better chance when he knows it is coming. He then calls out Malachi Black. Malachi shows up on the video screen, and says he is violent and does not care about him or Arn Anderson as much as the fans do, and compares Arn Anderson to a prized racehorse that become old and broken down that he had to put out of its misery. He then says that "it wasn't there anymore" with Cody and Arn, and when Cody calls Malachi out and tells him to get out to the ring and get a better look, the lights go out and Malachi appears when they come back on. Both men brawl until referees and security move in.

Backstage, Alex Marvez interviews Tully Blanchard, who says that what he did to "The American Nightmare" Cody Rhodes was no cheap shot before he is laughed at by Proud 'n Powerful (Santana and Ortiz). Proud 'n Powerful almost immediately gang up on Tully, but instead of hitting him, they tell him to get his boys and that they were taught to respect their elders, and that next time, he will not be so lucky.

Tony Schiavone interviews "Hangman" Adam Page in the ring. Page says that since day one, he wanted to be AEW World Champion, yet he came close and failed. He says he has tried to run and hide from it, but The Dark Order is right and he still needs that championship. As he says that he is here tonight to challenge for the World title, Don Callis shows up with The Elite and tells page he will not be doing anything, as Page knows he is not that guy. The Elite agree with Callis, then Matt Jackson gets in the ring with Page and tells Page that he abandoned The Elite for "a bunch of losers" before making fun of Page's alcoholic vices, calling him a sad, lonely cowboy drunk. Matt tells Page he has nobody to blame but himself, as he is "the next great wrestling tragedy." This leads to Page hitting Matt. Kenny Omega, who is here at this point, almost hits Page with the AEW title, but The Dark Order chases The Elite away. Page tells Omega he came tonight for a match and that neither of them are leaving until it happens, and Omega says they can do that in a ten-man elimination tag match between The Dark Order and The Elite. Page says that is not the match he wanted, but he will take it, and if The Dark Order wins, he not only gets a World title shot, but The Dark Order gets a tag team title shot. As Omega screams that they did not earn it, Don Callis and Matt Jackson have to get him to reconsider, and amidst "Cowboy shit" chants from the fans, Omega tells Page he will entertain his idea. He then says that they get nothing in exchange, and says that if The Elite win, Page loses his shot at the World title and The Dark Order gets no shot at the tag team titles, and tells Page to walk away. When Omega asks Page if he is afraid to fail in front of everyone, he says he will take solace in "Cowboy Shit" turning into "Belt Collector," but Page says The Dark Order does not back down from a fight and that it is on.

Backstage, Alex Marvez interviews Chris Jericho, who says that "The Five Labors of Jericho" does not surprise him and that MJF should know that after Hercules got he wanted after his labors. He says he does not care who MJF puts in front of him, as he will knock them out and he will walk through fire and broken glass to get MJF and ruin his life. Suddenly, he is attacked by Shawn Spears. MJF shows up and tells Jericho he is just returning the favor before telling him that he will have to face Spears next week in a match where Spears can use a chair while he cannot. Spears then hits Jericho in the shoulder with a chair before MJF sarcastically wishes him good luck.

Christian Cage beats Matt Hardy after Christian Cage gets back into the ring in time after Matt Hardy puts him in The Leech outside of the ring and hits the Killswitch. After the match, The Hardy Family Office surrounds the ring apron, but Luchasaurus and Jungle Boy clear the ring.

We hear from Miro, who tells a story of a man who was once rich but was lost because he was not being himself, and after walking out of his house and looking into the void to see what was next, he learned to forgive himself and everyone who was in his path and remember who he was, and warned everyone with a title that they had a problem. He soon forgave everyone who he destroyed, and this made him the TNT Champion and God's favorite champion.

Tony Schiavone interviews Dr. Britt Baker, D.M.D. in the ring. Britt says she has dealt with multiple chairs, ladders, tables and tacks and ended up being the baddest bitch on the planet, and says there is no fear in her eyes. She admits that while Nyla Rose has beaten her multiple times and is on top of the food chain, but she is off the menu and in a league of her own. She says that Vickie Guerrero may be relevant, but Nyla needs the title to be relevant. She says that the AEW Women's World Championship is not going anywhere, and while she is the hottest woman in wrestling with the title, without it she is still Dr. Britt Baker, D.M.D. Backstage, Vickie tells Britt her days as champion are numbered, and Nyla says that Britt has had everything handed to her and that she will hand her a world-class ass whupping.

We hear from Jon Moxley, who says that he has survived Lance Archer multiple times and that Archer will not stop until he ends his career. He says he will get them before they get him, for he is the hunter, not the hunted, and next week, Archer will be "Texas dead."

The Bunny and The Blade are seen in the crowd before the next match.
