Fight for the Fallen (2021)

Fight for the Fallen (2021) was a professional wrestling show made by All Elite Wrestling (AEW). It was held on July 28, 2021 at Bojangles Coliseum in Charlotte, North Carolina. The event aired for free as a special episode of Dynamite. It was the third Fight for the Fallen event to take place. Like all Fight for the Fallen events, the show was for charity. The money raised was used to help victims of domestic violence and sexual assault survivors through Safe Alliance. The money raised would be added onto an already $100,000 donation by AEW. AEW also released a limited-edition shirt for the event for fans to buy through their ShopAEW.com website. The money would also go to Safe Alliance.^[1]

The main event saw Chris Jericho defeat Nick Gage in a No Rules match.^[2]

The main event caused some controversy. During a spot where Nick Gage was slicing Jericho's forehead with a pizza cutter, it went to a picture-in-picture commercial break and a Domino's Pizza advertisement played at the same time. Domino's were not happy with this and threatened to pull their advertisements from the show. During an interview, Gage said "I didn't even know about Domino's until it was over and someone told me... I started laughing. What a coincidence."^[3][4]
