Top 5 AEW Moments

Intro

In the past 5 years, AEW has carved it self a niche in the market of Pro Wrestling. From epic debuts. Emotional shows, and moments, and movements that will stay with fans, far beyond the annual PPV Circle. What can I say, other than, this company, are the reason why I love waking up early on a Thirsday Morning. This is my top 5 AEW moments. So far.

5 it's Stiiiiiiiing

2020's winter is coming, was one hell of a show, from the title change, that saw Kenny Omega overthrow Jon Moxley, as the. World Heavyweight Championship. Wardlow continuing to make a name for himself, and of course, the return to wrestling, from a five year absence of Sting, this was a monumental moment, because Sting was back on the TNT network, for the first time in over nineteen years, and when we walk back through the anals of time, this very nearly didn't happen, due to an injury, that he suffered an injury match against Seth Rollins. It was like travelling back in time, to a more simpler time.

4 RIP Brodie Lee

On the 26th of December 2020, the world was saddened to hear of the news, that Brodie Lee had passed away. The following episode of Dynamite Storylines were dropped, as remembering a loved one took centre stage. The sight of Tony Khan hugging Negative one, is something that I will never forget. Enough said.

3 A Boom Becomes a Dragon

All Out 2021 is considered one the company's best ever PPV's, and if i'm being honest, I can see why, but it was what happened at the end of show that had the internet buzzing. Kenny Omega took to the mic, after he beat christian Cage for the World Heavyweight Championship, he said that anyone can come back, even if there dead, which was a reference, harpering back to his days in ROH, making his Being The Elite series, and the episode in question, featured a death that go on to become undisputed. Adam Cole, would walk out, the night before, he faced Kyle O'reilly, at NXT 36 Takeover in Orlando, but things were about to get interesting, because with seconds left of the PPV out walked. Bryan Danielson, and my fantasy booking brain went into overdrive.

2 Easter Eggs Turn Into Ice Cream Bars

The 1st Dance, was a groundbreaking success, from the formation being layed out bare, to the out crying of emotion, when an Ice Cream bar loving Muffin Chomper, made his return to the wrestling industry, that took so much from him. I think it's safe to say, that I'm a mark for Cm Punk.

All In London 2023 Announcement

It was the week after a controversial Wrestlemania, and the world was still recovering from what they had seen. WWE had shown it's hand, by giving fans a badly received end to night 2 of mania, and a poorly received Raw after Mania. A couple of days after this, it was AEW's turn to shake up the world, and, well they did. I woke up on a Thursday morning, I turned on the wrestling news from google, and my first thoughts screamed. NO WAY. AEW WAS RUNNING WEMBLEY STADIUM, NOT ARENA. STADIUM, my jaw hit the ground, and I thought, nah this can't be true, but it was. They were running Wembley, and I couldn't believe it. I don't care about the attendences, because it doesn't matter, because the only people that won hear, wear the fans. I've attended both outings so far.
