Posted on by Joseph Currier

Kenny Omega and PAC will be on opposite sides of a six-man tag match at All Elite Wrestling’s event with CEO Fighting Game Championships.

It was announced today that Omega & The Young Bucks will team against PAC & Pentagon Jr. & Fenix at AEW Fyter Fest. The show is taking place at the Ocean Center in Daytona Beach, Florida on Saturday, June 29.

The Young Bucks have been feuding with The Lucha Bros and will defend their AAA Tag Team titles against them at Double or Nothing in Las Vegas on May 25. Omega is facing Chris Jericho at Double or Nothing, while PAC is wrestling Hangman Page.

This is the second year in a row that Omega has been involved with a pro wrestling event that’s in partnership with CEO’s gaming convention. CEO x NJPW When Worlds Collide took place in Daytona Beach last June.

The Fyter Fest name was announced earlier this week and is a reference to the failed Fyre Fest music festival from 2017. CEO organizer Alex Jebailey vs. AEW’s Michael Nakazawa in a hardcore match is also set for Fyter Fest, with it being a rematch of their comedy match from the CEO x NJPW pre-show.

Tickets for Fyter Fest will go on sale in early May. AEW Fight for the Fallen is taking place in Jacksonville two weeks after Fyter Fest.

For the second straight year, there will be a professional wrestling event as part of CEO Fighting Game Championships.

This week’s episode of Being the Elite ended with the announcement that All Elite Wrestling and CEO are partnering for a show at the Ocean Center in Daytona Beach, Florida on Saturday, June 29. The venue also hosted CEO x NJPW When Worlds Collide in 2018, which Kenny Omega was involved with putting together.

CEO tweeted about the announcement: “As announced on this week’s episode of #BeingTheElite, @ceogaming is excited to bring you another live special live wrestling show w/ @AEWrestling on Saturday, June 29th, during #CEO2019. More details to come!”

CEO is a fighting video games convention that takes place annually.

A hardcore match between AEW’s Michael Nakazawa and CEO organizer Alex Jebailey has been announced for AEW’s show with CEO. It’s a rematch of a comedy match they had on the CEO x NJPW When Worlds Collide pre-show, where Jebailey defeated Nakazawa. Jebailey was on crutches due to a torn Achilles he suffered preparing for the match, which was the only time he’s wrestled.

Other matches and wrestlers for the show have yet to be announced. AEW Fight for the Fallen is taking place in Jacksonville two weeks after the event with CEO.
