Production

Background

Fight for the Fallen is a charity event held annually in July by All Elite Wrestling (AEW) since 2019. For the 2021 event's charitable cause, which was the third Fight for the Fallen event, AEW partnered with Safe Alliance, a non-profit organization dedicated to providing hope and healing for domestic violence and sexual assault survivors. In addition to AEW donating US$100,000 to Safe Alliance, a percentage of proceeds from the limited-edition Fight for the Fallen T-shirts were also donated.^[1]

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic that began effecting the industry in mid-March 2020, AEW held the majority of their programs from Daily's Place in Jacksonville, Florida;^[2] these events were originally held without fans, but the company began running shows at 10–15% capacity in August, before eventually running full capacity shows in May 2021.^[3] Also in May, AEW announced that they would be returning to live touring, beginning with a special episode of Dynamite titled Road Rager on July 7, which kicked off the "Welcome Back" tour.^[4] Fight for the Fallen was scheduled as the third and last event of the "Welcome Back" tour and like the 2020 event, it was held as a special episode of Dynamite. It took place on July 28, 2021, in Charlotte, North Carolina at the Bojangles Coliseum.^[5]^[6]

Storylines

Preliminary matches and segments

The event opened with The Elite (Kenny Omega, Matt Jackson, Nick Jackson, Doc Gallows and Karl Anderson) taking on Adam Page, Evil Uno, Stu Grayson, John Silver and Alex Reynolds in a 10-man tag team elimination match. Kenny Omega and The Elite entered in basketball jerseys, as the "Elite Squad", to "Get Ready for This" in reference to Space Jam. Since The Elite won, Adam Page could not challenge for the AEW World Championship. According to Being The Elite, the special entrance was a gift to Nick Jackson, who celebrated his birthday the day of the show.

Reception

Attendance and television ratings

Two days before the event, PWInsider reported that the show was nearly sold-out.^[8] According to WrestleTix on Twitter, the show in Charlotte was attended by nearly 7,000, making it (at the time), third biggest TV taping in AEW history, behind the debut episode in Washington, D.C. and October 16, 2019 taping in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.^[9]

Fight for the Fallen averaged 1,108,000 television viewers on TNT, with a 0.45 rating in AEW's key demographic. The show's audience peaked at 1,240,000 million, highest since the debut episode of Dynamite, which aired in October 2019.^[10]

Domino's Pizza commercial controversy

During the main event match, Nick Gage attacked Chris Jericho with a pizza cutter, before the show coincidentally went into a commercial for Domino's Pizza. A spokesperson for Domino's indicated that the brand may pull their advertising from Dynamite, stating they "are assessing our advertising presence on it going forward".^[11]

While speaking on the Sean Waltman podcast, Gage stated that "I didn't even know about Domino's until it was over and someone told me... I started laughing. What a coincidence."^[12] Nick Gage would also take to Twitter to write: "sorry dominos didnt mean to offend you guess im too ultraviolent for tv oh well Шаблон:Sic".^[13] Fellow AEW wrestler Jon Moxley would also label the occurrence as "a coincidence", and suggested that Domino's "needs to chill out".^[14]

One of the most subscribed YouTubers, PewDiePie, included this incident at the end of his "Bad Commercial Timing..." video.^[15]
