It's been almost three years since All Elite Wrestling burst into the pro-wrestling industry and turned into a fresh alternative to WWE's product. Since then, they've given the fans many fell good and nostalgic moments they felt only during the WWE Attitude Era.
With their hardcore product, they gained a huge fanbase for themselves, which continued to grow every year. 2021 was no different as the AEW wrestlers gave their absolute best even during the pandemic restrictions in the first half of the year.
Many of their wrestlers established themselves as the best in the business, and these 10 especially have impressed the fans with their performances by becoming the wrestlers with the most wins in AEW in 2021. With that said, let's take a look at the names that won the most last year.

The son of the late WCW legend Brian Pillman, Brian Pillman Jr is following his father's footsteps in the pro-wrestling industry.

He started teaming with Griff Garrison as The Varsity Blonds and continued to compete in AEW Dark and Dark Elevation while making occasional appearances on Dynamite and Rampage.
