The 2022 Fight for the Fallen was the fourth annual Fight for the Fallen professional wrestling charity event produced by All Elite Wrestling (AEW). It was a two-part television special that was held on July 27, 2022, at the DCU Center in Worcester, Massachusetts, encompassing the broadcasts of AEW's weekly television programs, Wednesday Night Dynamite and Friday Night Rampage. Dynamite aired live on TBS while Rampage aired on tape delay on July 29 on TNT. The event expanded upon the previous two years, which were only held as a special episode of Dynamite.

Discovery.

Storylines[]

Fight for the Fallen featured professional wrestling matches that involved different wrestlers from pre-existing scripted feuds and storylines. Wrestlers portrayed heroes, villains, or less distinguishable characters in scripted events that build tension and culminate in a wrestling match or series of matches.[1] Storylines were produced on AEW's weekly television programs, Dynamite and Rampage, the supplementary online streaming shows, Dark and Elevation, and The Young Bucks' YouTube series Being The Elite.
