All Elite Wrestling emerged in 2019 and quickly put itself on the map, and that's no wonder as this company has done things very well. AEW has brought in great superstars, wrestling legends, excellent matches and, most importantly, it has given the people what they want.
To date, AEW has produced 12 pay-per-view events, and while some were pretty bad, like Fight For The Fallen, there were also some that were absolute gems, like All Out 2021. Without further ado, let's take a look at every AEW PPV so far, ranked from worst to best by Cagematch.net.
12 All Out 2020 (Rating: 5.90)
All Out 2020 was a very strange PPV, as it had some very good matches like the main event between Jon Moxley and MJF, the World Tag Team Title Match between FTR and Adam Page and Kenny Omega, and the Women's World Title Match between Hikaru Shida and Thunder Rosa.
On the other hand, this PPV also had extremely terrible matches, such as the Tooth And Nail match of Big Swole versus Dr. Britt Baker D.M.D. and the Casino Battle Royale. Frankly this PPV is mostly remembered for the horrible Matt Hardy incident and the Matt Sydal botch.
11 Fight For The Fallen (Rating: 6.75)
Fight For The Fallen was no big deal. Truth be told, the main event between The Young Bucks and Brotherhood was disappointing, as was the Adam Page versus Kip Sabian bout. The worst of the night was the match between Brandi Rhodes and Allie, hands down.
The only really worthy thing of this PPV was the match between Kenny Omega and CIMA, which was spectacular, but it wasn't enough to save the PPV from the abyss of mediocrity.
10 Revolution 2021 (Rating: 6.97)
This PPV had its ups and downs, some fans liked it a lot, but some didn't think it was worth the hype. Once again, Hikaru Shida showed why she is one of the best female wrestlers today, after successfully defending the Women's World Title against Ryo Mizunami in a superb match. Kenny Omega and Jon Moxley collided in an Exploding Barbed Wire Death Match, which was brutal, very good, but maybe the fans expected a little more.
After almost six years, Sting also returned to in-ring action by teaming with Darby Allin and defeating Team Taz in a great match.
9 Fyter Fest (Rating: 7.69)
Fyter Fest featured some great matches, in fact, all the matches were very good, except for the opener between CIMA and Christopher Daniels.
Cody Rhodes and Darby Allin drew and put on a great show. In the main event, Jon Moxley defeated Joey Janela in a very entertaining Lights Out match. The best of the night was the six-man tag team match between The Elite and The Lucha Brothers and Laredo Kid, which exceeded expectations in every way possible.
8 All Out 2019 (Rating: 8.09)
At All Out 2019, Chris Jericho stole the show with a solid performance as he defeated Adam Page to become AEW World Champion. The Lucha Brothers defeated The Young Bucks in an awesome match and PAC defeated Kenny Omega in a fantastic match as well.
The Cracker Barrel Clash Three Way match between Jimmy Havoc, Darby Allin and Joey Janela turned out to be very good, and Riho against Hikaru Shida was decent. The low point of the PPV was the match between The Dark Order and Best Friends.
7 Full Gear 2019 (Rating: 8.13)
Full Gear 2019 was headlined by Jon Moxley and Kenny Omega, who collided in a spectacular, unsanctioned Lights Out match. Chris Jericho also successfully defended the World Title against Cody in an extraordinary match.
The opening match between The Young Bucks and Proud & Powerful was quite entertaining, and Adam Page defeated PAC in a very good match as well. Perhaps the only boring bout of the PPV was Shawn Spears against Joey Janela.
6 Double Or Nothing 2020 (Rating: 8:45)
This PPV is mostly remembered for that epic Stadium Stampede match between The Elite and The Inner Circle. Certainly, the match was previously taped, but no one can deny that it was fantastic.
Once again Jon Moxley stood out, this time defeating Brodie Lee and retaining the World Title. Hikaru Shida was also terrific and defeated Nyla Rose to become Women's World Champion. Fans were also treated to a great match between MJF and Jungle Boy, both of whom will be the faces of the company soon enough.
5 Revolution 2020 (Rating: 8.57)
Revolution 2020 had seven matches and two pretty bad ones - Jake Hager vs. Dustin Rhodes and Nyla Rose vs. Kris Statlander. Otherwise, the PPV was very good.
The main event featured Jon Moxley defending the World Title against Chris Jericho. The PAC versus Orange Cassidy match was outstanding, as was Darby Allin against Sammy Guevara. The best match of the night was the World Tag Team Title match between Adam Page and Kenny Omega against The Young Bucks, as it was a true masterpiece.
4 Double Or Nothing 2021 (Rating: 8.87)
The Young Bucks, Kenny Omega, Jon Moxley and Hikaru Shida have proven that they always deliver, and that's why every time their names are on the match card, the PPV is going to be great.
At Double Or Nothing 2021, The Young Bucks defeated Eddie Kingston and Jon Moxley in an amazing match, Kenny Omega defeated PAC and Orange Cassidy in a sensational bout, and Hikaru Shida dropped the Women's World Title to Dr. Britt Baker D.M.D. Also worth mentioning is the great opening match between Adam Page and Brian Cage.
3 Full Gear 2020 (Rating: 8.95)
Full Gear 2020 was an outstanding PPV, featuring eight matches, which were all at least decent, as there was not a single boring match. Once again, The Young Bucks delivered a flawless match, this time against FTR.
Kenny Omega defeated Adam Page in a phenomenal bout and Darby Allin became TNT Champion after defeating Cody in a very exciting match as well. The main event was a tremendous, immensely violent I Quit match in which Jon Moxley defeated Eddie Kingston.
2 Double Or Nothing 2019 (Rating: 9.11)
This was the first ever AEW PPV, and what a magnificent PPV it was. There was only one weak bout, the four way match in which Dr. Britt Baker D.M.D. defeated Awesome Kong, Kylie Rae and Nyla Rose. For the rest of the night, Double Or Nothing 2019 was nothing short of amazing.
Chris Jericho defeated Kenny Omega, The Young Bucks beat the Lucha Brothers and SCU defeated Stronghearts. The best of the night was the perfect and emotional match between Cody and Dustin Rhodes.
1 All Out 2021 (Rating: 9.59)
With a sky high 9.59 rating, All Out 2021 has been the best AEW PPV so far and one of the highest rated PPVs in wrestling history as well.
This PPV had what any fan could wish for; fantastic matches, good booking decisions and surprise appearances. All the bouts were good, although perhaps the Casino Battle Royale and the Paul Wight versus QT Marshall showdown were a step down.
Kenny Omega retained the AEW World Title against Christian Cage in a phenomenal match, CM Punk made his return to the ring, and The Lucha Brothers and The Young Bucks delivered a true classic match that blew fans away. To close with a flourish, Adam Cole and Bryan Danielson made their debuts with the company.
