<h2>AEW 2021: Latest News, AEW Rumors, Results</h2>
All Elite Wrestling has been phenomenal throughout 2020 and has proved itself time and time again. Perhaps the only main contender to WWE, AEW has routed NXT and has now crossed the 1 million viewership mark.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>

<img class="n3VNCb" src="https://cdn.vox-cdn.com/thumbor/7xaqmMyjmAsByHJpCrnlyMbRxjs=/1400x1050/filters:format(jpeg)/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/19622967/EO7md32XUAApg5L.jpg" alt="I'm Embarrassed this Happens" data-noaft="1" />

Great content, excellent stipulations, and talented Superstars are what make AEW exciting. The different and raw vibe of wrestling in AEW makes it a very viable alternative to WWE wrestling.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>
<h2>History</h2>
It’s hard to believe that the company is not even 2 years old, considering the fact that it has already beaten NXT viewership. AEW’s creation was announced on January 1, 2019, which turned a lot of eyes away from WWE.

The idea began when journalist Dave Meltzer posted on Twitter that ROH (Ring of Honor) had not managed to sell even 10,000 tickets for any wrestling show.

<img class="n3VNCb" src="https://gmsrp.cachefly.net/images/19/01/02/06fa27e58f9aa42ca3eb7ef0dfd176bd/960.jpg" alt="Two WWE legends are set to be involved in Cody Rhodes &amp; The Young Bucks' All Elite Wrestling | GiveMeSport" data-noaft="1" />

Cody Rhodes and The Young Bucks (Nick Jackson and Matt Jackson), both responded by organizing a huge cross-promotion Wrestling event. Using their massive influence as the top stars of ROH, the three were able to gather a lot of Superstars.

The event, called All In, was a huge success. It registered the largest crowd attendance for a pay per view that wasn’t organized or affiliated to WWE. A whopping 11, 263 people attended All In, raising a lot of eyebrows.

<img class="n3VNCb" src="https://wrestlingworld.co/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/cody-young-bucks.jpg" alt="Cody Rhodes And The Young Bucks Mock WWE 24/7 Title | WrestlingWorld" data-noaft="1" />

Following this impact, Cody and the Young Bucks decided to pursue this new-found dream. It was announced on January 1, 2019, that All Elite Wrestling was going to enter the wrestling world.
<h3>Build-up</h3>
Billionaires Tony Khan and Shahid Khan backed this new promotion as the main investors. The Khans are also board members of the Jacksonville Jaguars and English football club Fulham FC.

<img class="n3VNCb" src="https://i2-prod.mylondon.news/incoming/article14051044.ece/ALTERNATES/s1200/GettyImages-879842246.jpg" alt="Tony Khan reaffirms commitment to Fulham role after being named president of All Elite Wrestling | Football-Addict" data-noaft="1" />

Cody and the Young Bucks joined AEW as co-executive vice presidents, a day after the promotion’s arrival was announced. Cody’s wife Brandi Rhodes was announced as the company’s Chief Branding Officer.

Following this, AEW also announced the signing of many other Superstars. The team SoCal Uncensored consisting of Christopher Daniels, Frankie Kazarian, and Scorpio Sky, “Hangman” Adam Page, Joey Janela, Dr. Britt Baker, and former WWE Superstars Chris Jericho and Pac.

<img class="n3VNCb" src="https://i1.wp.com/fullpresscoverage.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/KennyOmega.jpg?fit=1200%2C800&amp;ssl=1" alt="Why Kenny Omega made the right choice going to AEW - Full Press Coverage" data-noaft="1" />

Later, popular Wrestler Kenny Omega also joined the promotion as the fourth co-executive vice president of the company. He has proved to be quite an attraction and is regarded as one of the best in the business.

AEW also made the key decision of partnering with Oriental Wrestling Entertainment (OWE) and Lucha Libre AAA Worldwide (AAA), which gives them access to another pool of talents.
<h3>Current times</h3>
<img class="n3VNCb" src="https://s3.superluchas.com/2020/07/Orange-Cassidy-y-Chris-Jericho-AEW.jpg" alt="Chris Jericho Reacts to his Iconic Debate with Orange Cassidy on AEW - EssentiallySports" data-noaft="1" />

The first-ever pay per view, ‘AEW Double or Nothing,’ had tickets out on February 7, 2019. Since then, the way has only been up for AEW. Signing with TNT, AEW now has their shows aired on the same platform as WCW 20 years ago. AEW Dynamite has been a huge problem for NXT for the past few months as the AEW vs WWE war continues.

In fact, AEW ratings have risen during the pandemic period. The company is making good use of the pandemic situation to get an edge over WWE. The promotion has been letting in a number of fans to watch the event live, which has also helped its episodes.

<img class="n3VNCb" src="https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/Jon-Moxley-4.jpg" alt="Jon Moxley blasts the fan Who ran at him during AEW All Out Entrance - EssentiallySports" data-noaft="1" />

It is the only promotion that is actively competing with WWE and has already overtaken NXT to reach 1 million viewers. AEW will only keep climbing, and seek to do what WCW couldn’t- topple WWE.
<h2>What is AEW?</h2>
All Elite Wrestling (AEW) is an American Professional Wrestling Promotion founded in 2019. It’s President and CEO is Tony Khan. Shahid Khan, along with Tony Khan, is the lead investor in the promotion.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>
<h2>How AEW is different from WWE?</h2>
Unlike WWE, AEW does not have PG restrictions. This means that it can show explicit content that involves bloody stunts such as thumbtacks.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>

<img class="n3VNCb" src="https://bleedingcool.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/AEW05224-1200x675.jpg" alt="AEW Dynamite 7/22/20 Part 1 - Now That's What I Call Extreme Rules" data-noaft="1" />

WWE stopped airing such content after it attained the PG license post the Attitude Era. The insanity of Mick Foley and other “violent” acts would no longer air. AEW provides fans with a distinct similarity to those days.

The promotion freely uses thumbtacks and has little restriction in its matches. The reality of the entire show attracts a lot of wrestling fans. Unfortunately, WWE NXT cannot match this.

<img class="n3VNCb" src="https://www.wrestlezone.com/assets/uploads/2020/07/AEW-Dynamite-Darby-Allin-Ricky-Starks-Skateboard.jpg" alt="Ricky Starks Shows Off Bloody Back After Landing On Thumbtacks - Wrestlezone" data-noaft="1" />

AEW has also made great use of former WWE Superstars. The promotion recruits Superstars who were never used to their potential in WWE and makes them stars, showcasing the true talent that WWE threw away.
<h2>AEW Roster</h2>
AEW has a star-studded roster that can make wrestling fans go crazy over the possible storylines.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>

AEW World Champion Kenny Omega defeated the unbeatable Jon Moxley to regain the title in a thrilling encounter.

<img class="n3VNCb alignnone" src="https://cultaholic.com/files/images/Kenny%20Omega%20AEW%20Dynamite%20AAA.jpg" alt="" width="901" height="507" data-iml="35018" />

AEW TNT Champion Darby Allin is another big name for the promotion, notching a crucial win for his career over Cody Rhodes to win the gold.

AEW Women’s World Champion Hikaru Shida is a major talent in the women’s division and is arguably one of the best in the business. Her wrestling style has been critically acclaimed.

<img class="n3VNCb" src="https://cdn.vox-cdn.com/thumbor/TS1-EP0YQNVxdvfA7k9Aa-evIP0=/404x0:2047x1095/1310x873/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_image/image/67018596/EaHjZ4xXgAEi_r7.0.0.0.jpeg" alt="Wrestling's Best Women, #10: Hikaru Shida - Cageside Seats" data-noaft="1" />

The AEW Tag Team FTR have been hailed as the next Arn and Tully, and they are certainly living up to that potential. We are yet to see the best of them.

The constant stars of the show are Orange Cassidy and Chris Jericho who recently had one of the funniest feuds ever. It ended with Jericho falling in a vat filled with a mixture of orange juice and Champagne form a mimosa.

<img class="n3VNCb" src="https://img.bleacherreport.net/img/slides/photos/004/380/828/aa31261f94e2fffe857b2d948ba9fdf1_crop_exact.jpg?w=2975&amp;h=2048&amp;q=85" alt="AEW Revolution 2020 Results: Orange Cassidy Shines Brightest, More Hot Takes | Bleacher Report | Latest News, Videos and Highlights" data-noaft="1" />

Other prominent names in the AEW roster include Cody, “Hangman” Adam Page, Brain Cage, Miro, Kip Sabian, MJF, Matt Hardy, and Sammy Guevara.

The women’s division also has upcoming talents such as Abadon, Anna Jay, and Brandi Rhodes.

<img class="n3VNCb" src="https://em.wattpad.com/a966bc4df39068d42f7c1a85a2068355f8de60f7/68747470733a2f2f73332e616d617a6f6e6177732e636f6d2f776174747061642d6d656469612d736572766963652f53746f7279496d6167652f47487274426d344d674a664861513d3d2d3137312e313630623932336531366633623462373636303233313938323135362e6a7067" alt="AEW Smash or Pass - Anna Jay - Wattpad" data-noaft="1" />

AEW also announced the signing of former WWE Superstars Miro (Rusev), Matt Cardona (Zack Ryder), and Matt Sydal (Evan Bourne), adding them to the already great roster.

<h2>Edge 2022 - Net Worth, Salary, and Endorsements</h2>
If there ever was a man who put extreme on the map, it would be ‘The Rated-R Superstar ‘ Edge. This name rings long and hard in the minds of WWE fans that respect and love the legend dearly.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>

Edge is a star that always gives it his best in the ring. There is nothing that he cannot do and manages to stun everyone with his daredevil-like attitude in the ring.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>

<img class="n3VNCb alignnone" src="https://newyork.cbslocal.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/14578484/2020/01/Edge-3.jpg?w=1024" alt="" width="1024" height="615" data-iml="3893.0000000000005" />

Over the years, fans have grown accustomed to seeing him do the unthinkable in the ring. Edge is one of the most successful Superstars in WWE history and one of the best current wrestlers in the ring. His work in the ring is unparalleled and he is one of the few who carry on the torch of old-school wrestling.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>
<h2>History<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></h2>
<h3>Early career</h3>
Edge began his career wrestling in several independent promotions across Canada. As a college student, he trained in the school boxing ring which had a hard mat. He learned how to limit his damage during falls from here which helped him later on in his career.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>

<img class="n3VNCb alignnone" src="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/fwQrJ1xNrGs/maxresdefault.jpg" alt="" width="1280" height="720" data-iml="23041" />

His skills were noticed by Bret Hart’s manager Carl De Marco, who recruited him under the WWE banner once he was president of WWF Canada. Edge worked in development territories and lived with a colleague until his career took off.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>
<h3>WWE</h3>
After impressing superiors, Edge made his debut on Raw on the June 22, 1998 episode. He soon climbed top the pecking order and formed a vampiric faction with Gangrel and Christian called the Brood.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>

<img class="n3VNCb alignnone" src="https://www.wwe.com/f/styles/gallery_img_l/public/photo/image/2012/06/Edge_Classic_005.jpg" alt="" width="686" height="384" data-iml="22683" />

The Brood would eventually work with The Undertaker during the Ministry of Darkness Era. Edge worked with Christian a lot since they were best friends. Their pairing goes back decades and they work very well together.

Edge broke out as a solo Superstar once he had received enough recognition. His work as a tag team had cemented his character in the eyes of fans and his time had come.

<img class="n3VNCb alignnone" src="https://www.ringsidenews.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/edge-christian.jpg" alt="" width="1000" height="579" data-iml="13472" />

After a couple of tries as a solo character, the crowd seemed to back him and he was given the green light. Over the next few years, edge spent his time in legendary feuds with The Undertaker, John Cena, and Randy Orton before heading towards multiple Championship reigns.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>

<img class="n3VNCb alignnone" src="https://www.wwe.com/f/styles/wwe_16_9_s/public/2020/01/24_WM22_040220006rf_1545R--a87179a33ea7a9499c46c3e3ac30629c.jpg" alt="" width="640" height="360" data-iml="4284" />

‘The Rated-R Superstar’ won the World Heavyweight Championship a record 7 times and is widely recognized as the face of the title which does not exist in WWE today. He also held the WWE Championship and Tag team Championships multiple times with Randy Orton and Christian.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>

<img class="n3VNCb alignnone" src="https://fanbuzz.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2019/07/edge-wwe.png?w=1200&amp;h=627&amp;crop=1" alt="" width="1200" height="627" data-iml="18649" />

Edge competed in a number of legendary matches and was no stranger to hardcore. He fought against the best names in the business such as Mick Foley, The Hardy Boys, The Undertaker, Randy Orton, and John Cena, all of which were known to take things over the limit.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>

<img class="n3VNCb alignnone" src="https://media.bleacherreport.com/f_auto,w_800,h_533,q_auto,c_fill/br-img-slides/004/369/791/3edae1d34e679f6662bc29fcaa86cdca_crop_exact.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="533" data-iml="32096.000000000004" />
<h3>Retirement</h3>
He often performed the most dangerous moves and stunts. The Superstar was known for giving his body to the ring for entertainment, a feature that ultimately took its toll on him.

<img class="n3VNCb alignnone" src="https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/NINTCHDBPICT000455338150.jpg" alt="" width="1200" height="1200" data-iml="11364" />

After years of taking hits to his back, Edge finally pulled his last straw. In 2011, shortly after his victory at WrestleMania against Alberto Del Rio, ‘The Rated-R Superstar’ underwent a medical scan.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>

He then received the news that he had spinal stenosis due to the hits he took throughout his career. He was also given the sad news that if he wrestled again, he risked paralysis or even death.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>

<img class="n3VNCb alignnone" src="https://www.wwe.com/f/styles/gallery_img_l/public/photo/image/2011/04/RAW_933_Photo_087.jpg" alt="" width="686" height="384" data-iml="4539" />

Edge 2022 &#8211; Net Worth, Salary, and Endorsements If there ever was a man who put extreme on the map, it would be ‘The Rated-R Superstar ‘ Edge. This name rings long and hard in the minds of WWE fans that respect and love the legend dearly.  Edge is a star that always gives it his best in the ring. There is nothing that he cannot do and manages to stun everyone with his daredevil-like attitude in the ring.  Over the years, fans have grown accustomed to seeing him do the unthinkable in the ring. Edge is one of the most successful Superstars in WWE history and one of the best current wrestlers in the ring. His work in the ring is unparalleled and he is one of the few who carry on the torch of old-school wrestling.  History  Early career Edge began his career wrestling in several independent promotions across Canada. As a college student, he trained in the school boxing ring which had a hard mat. He learned how to limit his damage during falls from here which helped him later on in his career.  His skills were noticed by Bret Hart’s manager Carl De Marco, who recruited him under the WWE banner once he was president of WWF Canada. Edge worked in development territories and lived with a colleague until his career took off.  WWE After impressing superiors, Edge made his debut on Raw on the June 22, 1998 episode. He soon climbed top the pecking order and formed a vampiric faction with Gangrel and Christian called the Brood.  The Brood would eventually work with The Undertaker during the Ministry of Darkness Era. Edge worked with Christian a lot since they were best friends. Their pairing goes back decades and they work very well together. Edge broke out as a solo Superstar once he had received enough recognition. His work as a tag team had cemented his character in the eyes of fans and his time had come. After a couple of tries as a solo character, the crowd seemed to back him and he was given the green light. Over the next few years, edge spent his time in legendary feuds with The Undertaker, John Cena, and Randy Orton before heading towards multiple Championship reigns.  ‘The Rated-R Superstar’ won the World Heavyweight Championship a record 7 times and is widely recognized as the face of the title which does not exist in WWE today. He also held the WWE Championship and Tag team Championships multiple times with Randy Orton and Christian.  Edge competed in a number of legendary matches and was no stranger to hardcore. He fought against the best names in the business such as Mick Foley, The Hardy Boys, The Undertaker, Randy Orton, and John Cena, all of which were known to take things over the limit.  Retirement He often performed the most dangerous moves and stunts. The Superstar was known for giving his body to the ring for entertainment, a feature that ultimately took its toll on him. After years of taking hits to his back, Edge finally pulled his last straw. In 2011, shortly after his victory at WrestleMania against Alberto Del Rio, ‘The Rated-R Superstar’ underwent a medical scan.  He then received the news that he had spinal stenosis due to the hits he took throughout his career. He was also given the sad news that if he wrestled again, he risked paralysis or even death.  The neck injury sustained during the WrestleMania fight proved to be the decisive point in his career. In an emotional speech, Edge bid farewell to his fans and was forced into an uneasy early retirement.  Also read: The True Story Behind WWE Legend Edge’s Career Threatening Neck Injury He was subsequently inducted into the WWE Hall Of Fame in 2012 for his contributions to the wrestling world.
