The 2025 Fyter Fest was a two-part professional wrestling television special produced by All Elite Wrestling (AEW). It was the sixth Fyter Fest and took place on Wednesday, June 4, 2025, at the Mission Ballroom in Denver, Colorado. The event was broadcast live as a four-hour marathon of back-to-back special episodes of AEW's weekly television programs, Dynamite and Collision. Both programs aired on TBS and were simulcast on Max in the United States.
Dynamite aired in its regular 8:00 p.m. Eastern Time (ET) slot while Collision, which normally airs on Saturdays on TNT, aired immediately after Dynamite at 10:00 p.m. ET. Collision was preempted from its regular Saturday night timeslot to accommodate TNT's coverage of the 2025 Stanley Cup playoffs. This was also the first Fyter Fest since 2023.
The were 11 matches held across the four-hour broadcast, with five on Dynamite and then six on Collision. In the main event of Fyter Fest, which was Collision{{'}}s main event, The Paragon (Adam Cole, Kyle O'Reilly, and Roderick Strong) and Daniel Garcia defeated The Don Callis Family (Josh Alexander, Lance Archer, Trent Beretta, and Rocky Romero) in an eight-man tag team match. This broadcast also saw the AEW in-ring debut of Thekla, who defeated Lady Frost, as well as the return of Tay Melo, who had been on maternity leave from AEW since January 2023. In the main event of Dynamite, Kenny Omega defeated Brody King, Claudio Castagnoli, and Máscara Dorada in a four-way match to retain the AEW International Championship.
