The 2022 Fight for the Fallen was a two-part professional wrestling television special produced by All Elite Wrestling (AEW). It was the fourth annual Fight for the Fallen charity event and 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. For the event's charitable cause, it helped support the non-profit marine wildlife organization, Oceana, as the event took place during Shark Week, a major cross-promotional event with AEW broadcast partner Warner Bros. Discovery.
