[8.0] "Definitely the lesser of the two nights of Fyter Fest, but both nights were great so that isn't the end of the world. MOTN was definitely the eight-man tag, which just never let up and was really great all around. The Chris Jericho vs Orange Cassidy match was great too, mainly off the back of a characteristically great underdog face performance by Orange Cassidy. It wasn't quite as consistent as night 1, but the highs were great for this period of TV AEW. Closer to a 7 than a 9, but an 8 nonetheless."

[8.0] "Other than the 2 min squash by Nyla Rose, the rest of the card was decent to great. MOTN- 8 man tag match (****1/2). It was Great match and ReY Fenix is easily my favourite wrestler in AEW and one of may favourite in the planet."

[9.0] "Although I do enjoy watching AEW weekly, one thing I allways complain is how predictable the results of almost every match is, just by looking the card and the wrestlers involved you can know who's gonna win and that's eliminates any tension or interest on watching a match. But this night two of Fytter fest was different at least in two matches, the 8-man tag team match and the Jericho vs. Orange Cassidy matches, I hadn't enjoyed an PPV (well, I know this was not really an PPV but you know what I mean) as much since Revolution. . I won't spoil anything and let people discover for themselves, but what amazing matches from beginning to the end. As for the rest of the matches, well, pretty much the same as always, but Jannela vs. Archer was an enjoyable match and Dark Order vs. SCU as well with a good storytelling about the possible future of Colt Cabana and the Dark Order. Highly recommended show and much better than the night 1 show."

[5.0] "I expected better dammit. Night 1 was a legit 7, this was mediocre af and especially bad as a special. 4v4 match was match of the night, and surprisingly second best probably was Janela vs Archer even though it had dumb moments (like Jake's involvement and Sonny being thrown around by Archer until Kiss hitting him with the 450). Opening tag and main event were huge letdowns from an in-ring standpoint, predictable and generic. FTW title is intriguing even though it doesn't make much sense."

[FTR & The Young Bucks vs Lucha Bros & Beard + Blade] - 4 1/2 stars (Match of the Night). [Nyla Rose vs Kenzie Paige & KiLynn King] - 2 1/4 stars (Worst of the Night). [Colt Cabana & The Dark Order vs SCU] - 2 1/4 stars. [Chris Jericho vs Orange Cassidy] - 4 stars. Average rating - 3. 29 of 5 (or 6. 58 of 10). Rounded to 7 for Cagematch."

[8.0] "Flawless TV show IMO topped by an amazing 8-man tag. The rest was all good, but I need another great match or angle to reach a 9 rating. Still, another quality episode for Dynamite, AEW are so consistent with their delivery!"

[8.0] "[Page&Omega/PP] Decent action, not much storytelling. Minor miscommunication. (***1/4) [Archer/Janela] Not bad --- nothing special either. (***) [8-Man Tag] Sublime --- the perfect balance between the methodical and the high-flying. Fantastic action, underpinned by on-point, layered storytelling. Just the difficulty, to pull off what they did ... MOTN. (****1/2) [Rose/King&Paige] (NR-S) [Cabana&Dark Order/SCU] SCU is the most reliable trio in all of AEW --- here they managed yet another solidly decent match. Enjoyable tag team action (as expected), solid storytelling --- the Cabana/SCU arc being the focal point of the finish. [Jericho/Cassidy] Thoroughly entertaining. While Jericho's control seg was IMO slightly drawn out, OC's comebacks were intriguing enough to suck me back into the match. I especially loved the superkick spot --- was wondering when OC would bust it out. (***3/4) Just about an 8 --- the 8-man tag really elevated the show."

[8.0] "Very good night also for AEW. Especially the 8 man tag match Top 3 of the Night 3. Cabana 2. Cassidy 1. Lucha Bros"

[6.0] "I don't know, the second night of these tapings seem to leave me less excited. This show got a good start with Hangman and Kenny looking good while giving Private Party some air. Archer looked great against Janela as well, that match was was fine. The match of the night came next with an awesome eight man tag team match, where I really, really liked all the interactions. Cannot wait till we see Lucha Bros vs. FTR next week, that could be a MOTY under the right circumstances. Didn't care for the handicap match, but it was just a backdrop for Nyla Rose's announcement anyway. Speaking of announcements, the FTW thing was ... interesting. Not what I would call shocking, but maybe it's because I didn't care for the FTW title in the first place 25 years ago. I like the slow burn of the Dark Order storyline, but I just cannot see Colt Cabana in the stable without a major, major, major gimmick shift. Would certainly be a sight to see Colt abandon himself after 20+ years. The main event was okay. Yes, just okay. I don't know, I like Orange Cassidy, but his gimmick does not work without a real audience for me, so despite their best efforts and some nice red herrings in the last two minutes, this was just ... okay."

[7.0] "A mostly consistent show but one with very little that felt essential. The opening tag match was good but felt like so many others we've seen Page and Omega wrestle recently, although Private Party's offence looked a bit sharper and more tightened up. Archer-Janela was a fun brawl with some good moments but it probably won't live long in the memory, although the finish was brutal and it's nice to see Janela get some dedicated screentime. The eight-man tag was probably the best match of the night; seeing FTR and the Bucks hit tandem offence felt genuinely special, and Fenix's Canadian Destroyer to the outside was an absolutely outstanding moment. The momentary confusion of who was the legal man between Pentagon and The Butcher was a little awkward, although arguably it plays into FTR's criticisms of the Lucha Bros, which kind of works. Nyla's squash was fun although maybe could have been quicker, and I don't think she really needs a manager at this stage. The six-man tag was nothing noteworthy in terms of athleticism or excitement, but the Cabana-Dark Order storyline is still coming along nicely. Jericho-Cassidy was fun but potentially a little underwhelming. The fact that OC got so hyped up from the start took away his unique appeal and made him feel like any other wrestler, although I did really enjoy him hitting the superkick, and Jericho's heel work was very well done. A show worth watching but nothing must see."

[9.0] "Such an enjoyable show. All matches delivered well and also there was a fine balance of promos as well which is rare for PPV type show."

[9.0] "Very good show, the 8 man match was astonishing, cannot wait for FTR vs Lucha Bros. The opener was athletic like you would expect and consolidated Page and Omega even further. The main event was so good, Cassidy looked like a star and Jericho is a tough son of a gun."

[7.0] "This show was just OK. The tag title match was well worked but predictable and it didn't really move any storylines forward **1/2. Archer vs. Janela was better than I expected and sort of fun to watch **1/2. The 8 man tag was a superbly executed spotfest. Its hard to tell a story in an 8 man tag but they tried their best and some story came through and the Heels picking up the win was a somewhat interesting and unexpected turn of events. Did I mention it also had a ton of really creative spots? ***1/2 The Nyla Rose match was a waste of time NR. Dark Order & Cabana vs. SCU was good in that it worked the angle well and put over Brodie Lee well in his new post-Mox role but it wasn't a terribly fun match to watch. Sky vs. Grayson is something I'd actually want to watch as it seemed they had good chemistry. ** Jericho vs. Cassidy was too long and drawn out and not that fun. Jericho wins so is it over? All of this was for what? To put over the Inner Circle as heels? Yeah, that's already done. **1/2"

[9.0] "Really fantastic show and the best of the two nights. Opener was a nice fun sprint ***3/4. Archer/Janela was an extended squash but Janela's offense felt fair and warranted, Archer looked good ***. 8 Man tag was absolutely crazy and as great as hoped. Just fantastic work all around. There were a few minor slip ups but nothing that took away from the action, every team worked really well with each other ****1/4. Nyla match was a squash, nothing notable there. The main event was great and Jericho's best singles match in AEW outside the Cody one. Very well worked match with the underdog storytelling. Orange looked like a million bucks and Jericho had to pull out everything to win ****1/4. Overall a really fun TV episode"

[9.0] "This was a great show. Tag title match was fun. Janela vs Archer was awesome. Janela got a lot of offense but his hardcore setups led to his loss. Eight man was great. It had great spots and a great story. I've got it 4. 5*. Rose was dominant. The six man finish progressed the Dark Order story. The ME was great. Cassidy is a star. I'd love to see trios titles with the Best Friends being the first champs."

[9.0] "INCREDIBLE show, I was on the verge of giving it a 10. Omega/Page vs Private Party was great, high-octane opener: ****-. Janela vs Archer was a very good clash of styles that could've been great if not interrupted by an ad break and given more time: ***1/2. The 8 Man Tag was so great, it never slowed down and the unique tag team maneuvers that came from the Bucks and FTR and had me on the edge of my seat for a good 5 minutes: ****1/4-. Rose vs Page/King was a squash: No Rating. Dark Order vs SCU was very good, the play on Cabana's ties to Dark Order and his injury played very well: ***1/2-. Cassidy vs Jericho knocked it out of the park, this match wouldn't have been special if Cassidy always wrestled like this, but God this made me craving more OC matches like this. This match was definitely overbooked, but it worked and I was enthralled: ****+."

[8.0] "Very good show even with only one title match. Thought the opener was great and an even better match than the previous weeks main event. The 8 man was of course the MOTN as all four teams went nuts on each other as expected. Main event was very good with great showings from both guys."

[9.0] "Quite a good show with the eight man tag being the highlight of the night and one of the best multi man matches i've ever seen. Orange Cassidy and Jericho was also surprisingly good. The Dark Order/Colt vs Kaz and Daniels was alright and the Tag Title match was good but very much overshadowed by the 8 man. Archer/Janela and Nyla Rose were mostly just squashes but Janela got some offence and helped further his story with Sonny Kiss. Overall pretty enjoyable show and set up a lot of matches for Fight For The Fallen!"
