"I'm thrilled that we get to do it for free," Rhodes said. "That was such a huge discussion and I'm so excited. I mean, Moxley's first match in AEW for free? It's great. The people at B/R Live, I couldn't ask for better partners. You do need a subscription, but it is a free subscription," Rhodes explained. "It's not a hook in and you're charged type of deal. You'll need to probably, if you're looking to see Fyter, and it's streaming for free here in the United States. You should go on the site before the actual event, get yourself signed up so you've got all your ducks in a row and you're ready to go."

Chris Jericho, who'll be challenging for the AEW World Championship at All Out in August was not too pleased with the news of Fyter Fest being free and decided to "pull out" of Fyter Fest.
