* Fyter Fest
** The Elite are no strangers to being Video Game fans, and for their match against Pentagon Jr, Fenix and Laredo Kid, make their entrance. [[VideoGame/StreetFighter The Young Bucks dressing up as Ryu and Ken and Omega making his Entrance as Akuma]]
** At The Buy In, Private Party are the unknowns of the opener but by the end of the match the crowd is unanimously chanting for them as both looked like stars

** Their second big PPV ''All Out,'' also sold out in fifteen minutes.

** Speaking of the Casino Battle Royal, the gimmick-based match format is interesting. Four sets of five wrestlers enter the ring in order based on what suit of playing card they draw (hearts, clubs, spades, diamonds). The wrestler who draws the Joker card is the 21st and last wrestler to enter. Come the event, who was Joker? [[spoiler:"Hangman" Adam Page]]. Oh, and some of the entrants? [[spoiler:Glacier, Shawn Spears (the former Tye Dillinger)...]]

** And the main event didn't disappoint as well. Wrestling/KennyOmega and Wrestling/ChrisJericho tore down the house in a match for the ages. But the best bit was after the fight: while Jericho single-handedly took credit for AEW and gloated that he deserved a thank you, [[spoiler:along came '''[[Wrestling/DeanAmbrose JON MOXLEY]]''']]!
* AEW signed veteran commentator Wrestling/JimRoss, less than a week after his WWE contract expired in March 2019. This makes Ross the only commentator in pro wrestling history to be employed by NWA, WCW, WWE, NJPW and AEW.
* The promotion markets their signed referees the same way they would wrestlers. As of May 2019, the referee roster is Earl Hebner (WWE, TNA/Impact Wrestling veteran), Aubrey Edwards (from Defy Wrestling), Rick Knox (from PWG), Bryce Remsburg (from CHIKARA) and Paul Turner (from ROH).

** AEW also stunned the Double Or Nothing crowd and fans watching at home with the cameos of Wrestling/AwesomeKong, who had gone three years between matches, and Wrestling/BretHart, who introduced the AEW World Championship belt.

** Their second pig PPV ''All Out,'' also sold out in fifteen minutes.

* Further comments about Orange Cassidy's {{Memetic Badass}}ery have already been made on other pages, but it's undeniably impressive that he managed to perform a kip-up during the Casino Battle Royal ''with his hands on his pockets''.

** Similarly, landing a TV deal with ITV for broadcast in the UK on [=ITV4=] beginning in October of 2019. After the disastrous relaunch of World of Sport Wrestling that lasted just a few episodes before unceremoniously being pulled, there was a question of whether or not ITV would be broadcasting wrestling again. Through, the Khans, AEW has been put in position to singlehandedly revive wrestling in the British mainstream. The real kicker? The best that WWE could do was switch from longtime partner Sky Sports to BT Sport, a subscription service with 2.61 million subscribers. Through, ITV, AEW could be broadcast for free in as many as ''27 million'' homes. A spectacular coup for the company.
* ''Double or Nothing'', the first pay-per-view to be produced by AEW (and second to include its wrestlers-turned-executives in The Elite counting ''ALL IN''), sold out in FOUR minutes. Wrestling/CodyRhodes, AEW executive vice president, said it is the first ever same-day sellout for a Las Vegas pro wrestling show.
** Dylan Frymyer, a video editor for AEW, is also a wrestler, performing as "Sunny Days". In April 2019, Cody announced that he would be part of the ''Double or Nothing'' Over Budget Battle Royal (later changed to the Casino Battle Royal). Dylan was in tears when asked about it. AEW even showed a picture of 15-year-old Dylan with the legendary Wrestling/DiamondDallasPage.

[[spoiler:Glacier, Shawn Spears -the former Tye Dillinger-, ]].
** Awesome/CodyRhodes vs. [[Awesome/{{Goldust}} Dustin Rhodes]]. The match was instantly held up as one of the best, if not ''the'' best, singles match of ''both'' brothers' careers. How much so? It got five stars from [[Wrestling/TheWrestlingObserverNewsletter Dave Meltzer]].

** TNT signed a rookie, unproven wrestling promotion without a single show to its name (ALL IN was put on prior to AEW's formation). This is the same network which had a memorable and contentious foray with wrestling in the past, even with vastly different management at the time. While AEW is backed by a billionaire, that is a notable business coup for the North American wrestling industry.
