Background
Fyter Fest is a professional wrestling event held annually during the summer by All Elite Wrestling (AEW) since 2019. After a rescheduling of the 2023 Fight for the Fallen, another annual television special that previously took place the week after Fyter Fest, AEW president Tony Khan announced that the fifth Fyter Fest would be held the week after that year's Fight for the Fallen during the go-home week for the All In pay-per-view, subsequently also moving Fyter Fest to August, which was previously held in July.

While the previous year's event was held as a four-part special, the 2023 event was reduced to a three-part special due to the rescheduling of the 2023 Fight for the Fallen. The 2023 Fyter Fest in turn encompassed the August 23 episode of Wednesday Night Dynamite on TBS, the August 25 episode of Friday Night Rampage on TNT, and the August 26 episode of Saturday Night Collision also on TNT—Collision launched as a third program for AEW in June. Rampage was taped on August 19 at the Rupp Arena in Lexington, Kentucky and aired on tape delay on August 25, while Dynamite and Collision were both held on August 23 at the Gas South Arena in Duluth, Georgia with Dynamite airing live that night and Collision airing on tape delay on August 26.

Storylines
Fyter Fest 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 built tension and culminated in a wrestling match or series of matches. Storylines were produced on AEW's weekly television programs, Dynamite, Rampage, and Collision.
