Background
Fyter Fest is a professional wrestling event held annually during the summer by All Elite Wrestling (AEW) since 2019; it was originally held in June before moving to July in 2020. 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;[3] 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.[4] 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.[5] The third Fyter Fest was announced to be held as the second event of AEW's "Welcome Back" tour and like the 2020 event, it was scheduled as a live two-part special of Dynamite on TNT. The first night was held on July 14 at the H-E-B Center at Cedar Park in Cedar Park, Texas (Austin market) while the second night was held on July 21 at the Curtis Culwell Center in Garland, Texas (Dallas–Fort Worth market).[6][7]
